Pickleball has been waiting for this moment. JOOLA has finally stepped into the foam paddle market, and they’ve done it with a statement piece—the Perseus POWER FX. It’s not just another paddle with a new material; it’s a deliberate attempt to redefine how power feels in your hand.
The idea is simple: everyone deserves access to power without having to muscle every shot. By pairing EPP foam with JOOLA’s patented Propulsion Core, the POWER FX delivers a punch that feels almost effortless. It’s poppy, slightly stiff, and yet forgiving enough to keep rallies alive. For players who want less strain but more bite, this paddle is built to do the heavy lifting.
Specs That Speak Volumes, Tech With Purpose
- Length: 16.5 in
- Width: 7.5 in
- Grip Circumference: 4.125 in
- Handle Length: 5.5 in
- Weight: 8 oz (average)
The Perseus shape—JOOLA’s most popular—anchors the design. Rounded corners and an elongated profile keep the sweet spot centred while extending reach. It’s a shape that rewards those who like to stretch for angled volleys or cover the non-volley zone without taking an extra step.
But JOOLA didn’t just throw foam into the mix. The POWER FX is built around three key technologies:
- Adaptive Propulsion Core – Foam meets patented engineering. The result is a paddle that balances feel with raw pop, giving players confidence in both touch and power.
- Optimised Surface Layup – A textured finish that grips the ball, adding spin to serves, drives, and dinks. Crucially, the grit holds up, so the spin you feel on day one doesn’t fade after a few matches.
- Unibody Construction – Built as a single piece of EPP foam, the paddle absorbs impact and offers solidity without sacrificing forgiveness.
- The POWER FX is aimed at players who want a stiffer paddle with more pop on counters and a quicker ball off the face. It suits newcomers who don’t want to overwork their swing, as well as seasoned competitors who simply prefer the feel of foam.
