JOOLA Ben Johns Hyperion Pickleball Paddle - Select Raw Carbon Surface or Carbon Abrasion Surface for Increased Power and Spin - Elongated Grip Handle - Carbon Fiber Pickleball Paddle - USAP Approved

Solid paddle (build), great balance of power, control, and spin for intermediate-level players. Have not tried anything that advanced or elite level players use so cannot say with authority but this one feels really excellent having tried another product that was not good and returned it based on lack of performance at comparable price.

Love the extended handle. This is my second purchase if this exact same paddle I bought 2 years ago. Solid design for power and control. The grip size allows for 2 handed backhand shots.

I bought this for my husband. He is just started playing and when he used this paddle, is a game changing. More control, and better gaming

Using it for past 1 year.Enjoy the game.Spin ,power and control are goodThere are better bats with bigger sweet spots but this should be something where you have to start with.Worth the money spent.

My nephew was excited with this product!Love it!

Good upgrade from the Jolla essentials I had before. My game has improved a lot. Offers enough control to place ball where I want. Will have to upgrade if I want lots of power, that's where I see other newer paddles beating this one. Overall very good for my game level.

Allows for control and power. Great for players 3.0 and above. Not overpriced ,

I am very disappointed with this Joola Hyperion paddle. I started playing pb about four years ago , am intermediate level, and play four to five times a week. I’ve been using a couple Gamma paddles and have been happy with them until one delaminated (probably from being left in my car too long in cold weather). I decided I’d upgrade and get this Joola Hyperion because of the hype around it. Turns out that was a mistake.The first time I used it, fresh out of the packaging, I thought I had inadvertently picked up my old delaminated paddle. The ball came off it with a clunk and barely made it to the net. I played with it for a while only to find it continued that hollow clunk and required a lot of muscle to get it over the net with any speed. I switched back to my other Gamma.I used it off and on for a few weeks thinking I might adjust to it, but nothing changed—still the hollow clunk, very little power, no notable sweet spot, and generally poor response. Finally I was playing a couple hours with my Gamma, which performed very well, then switched to the Hyperion for another try My first serve clunked off the paddle and to the side. My return shots could barely make it to the net unless I put a lot of muscle behind it. With that, I decided I’d had enough. I was planning to return it only to find I had missed the Amazon return window by four days. So now I am stuck with an expensive mistake that I probably will not use again. My advice: Caveat emptor, stay away from this product or be prepared to return it right away.
