JOOLA
Ben Johns Hyperion Pro IV 16mm
The JOOLA Ben Johns Hyperion Pro IV 16mm pickleball paddle uses Tech Flex Power technology and a Propulsion Core to balance power and forgiveness. It has an aerodynamic shape, the longest handle in the lineup for leverage, and is UPA-A Pro and USAP PBCoR .43 certified. The paddle suits intermediate to advanced players who want control and spin, though its 16mm thickness may add weight for some users.

Spec-based interpretation
What the specs may mean on court
At 16 mm, the core thickness is commonly associated with a more controlled, softer response when thicker and a firmer, more direct response when thinner. That is close to this catalog's 16 mm median.
Its listed average weight is 8.1 oz. Static weight can affect how quickly a paddle feels to move and how substantial it feels through contact; swing weight and balance matter too. It is close to this catalog's 8 oz median.
The 5.5 in handle leaves more room for players who use a two-handed backhand.
This is a comparison of documented specifications and common equipment tradeoffs, not a playtest or a claim about this paddle’s individual feel.
