JOOLA Pickleball Paddles – Textured Carbon Grip Surface for Spin, Control & Power

Good grip, good weight.

Have been using this paddle for couple weeks and found it to help with control of ball. Has a nice long grip, comfortable for my hand. It has a good surface texture. As a beginner I’m still learning to get that soon but am confident this paddle will get me there.

I have been playing BP for ~9 months and have been improving as I gain more experience. I was ready to move up from my low-cost entry level paddle that had served me well. After much research I selected this paddle, I am realistic this will not change my game but it has helped raise it a notch. The rough surface of the paddle has helped me to improve my spin and the paddle just feels right in my hand. I wish I could say I have not lost a game since buying it, but a paddle only goes so far :). The only complaints I have had is I would prefer to not have a raised edge and there are a few soft spots on the surface that seem to absorb more of the ball energy vs the rest of the paddle and a few times out of thousands of hits it has thrown me off. But with that said would not trade this for any other option on the market.

Great paddle for intermediate players.

Good matte surface for adding spin to ball, solid sweet spot, good feel and solid grip. Only complaint is that the paddle surface is so rough (in a macro way) it gathers dirt. But a good pickleball eraser takes care of it, just have to do it every 1 to 2 hours of play, a few seconds with the eraser and it's good as new.

I have been playing frequently for 5 months. I originally bought an entry level Head paddle which had decent power but little control with the fiberglass face. I used to play tennis and still have a preference for the option to use a two handed backhand and was looking for a paddle with extra length. This paddle is a great match for me. The grip is great and gives me more control and room for a two handed backhand. The balance of the paddle is great. Although it's about 1/4" more narrow than my previous paddle, I do not miss it, and I am reaching shots with more precision.

I purchased this pickleball paddle on Black Friday and I was skeptical, as I hadn't tried the paddle in person. But, being a Joola, I hoped it was everything it had been hyped up to be...When I received it, I immediately tried it out and I found that the hype was 100% accurate - this paddle is amazing. My spins are substantially stronger and more effective. My control of the ball is infinitely better than it was with my old paddle. And I can play longer because the lightweight materials it's made from saves my elbow and arm from tiring too quickly.Do yourself a favor and BUY THIS PICKLEBALL PADDLE. You'll be glad you did!!Or, at least I'm glad that *I* did! :)

For me, I couldn't hit the side of a barn from the inside with this paddle. It felt too heavy for me because the center to gravity is a little farther from the handle. Others, of course, will like the weight. I do like the surface texture, though. I imagine it can impart great spin.
