JOOLA
Hyperion Pro IV 16mm
The JOOLA Ben Johns Hyperion Pro IV 16mm paddle uses aerodynamic shaping and patent-pending TechFlex Power technology to optimize weight distribution, reducing fatigue while maintaining swing speed. Its 16mm core with Propulsion Core delivers power and forgiveness, while the extended handle provides leverage for spin and control. This UPA-A and USAP PBCoR .43 certified paddle suits intermediate to advanced players seeking balanced performance, though those preferring smaller grips should consider Simone Jardim's signature version.

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.
