“Great feel for the ball. Durable with quick hands rallies. Grip on the face really provides great spins and accuracy, to ground strokes and lobs. Light but powerful shots explode off the face. Comes in great fun colors. Lightweight so anyone can use it.”
“I'm a beginner pickleball player (like many other people are), and I have found this paddle to be very high quality. The combination of graphite and fiberglass makes the paddle feel luxurious. I've used other cheap paddles and this is definitely an upgrade. The grip feels great in my hand also.I like the unique color design, though I wish it had a cover at this price point.”
“This is definitely a good option for anyone looking to be a bit more serious about the game. I used to play a lot of table tennis growing up and that's what Joola is known for, so I was happy to see that they have the same quality in their pickleball equipment. The paddle is well made and durable with solid edge protection and a very comfortable handle grip that is larger than other ones I have had. Surface is slightly textured and has a good amount of surface area. Paddle offers a good degree of control and spin while still retaining a solid degree of power. I highly recommend it if you want to upgrade your game without springing for the pro level paddles. Just wish it came with a head cover or case for the price.”
“Overall, it's a solid choice for anyone looking to elevate their pickleball game.Pros:The blend of fiberglass and graphite gives this paddle a sturdy feel, yet it remains lightweight, perfect for those swift plays. The paddle offers an excellent balance, ensuring each shot is both powerful and precise. The handle has a tacky grip, which feels good in the handCons:None so far.”
“I love the name since it’s pronounced exactly like my name. I actually correct people nonstop on the correct pronunciation. Ha.As for the paddle- I have another Joola pickleball paddle. This one is more expensive. I think I prefer the other one. It’s all about preference and I think this one is good, but the other one serves me better.But since I still consider myself new to pickleball, I am not giving up on it. When my game improves I may find this paddle better for my game. I had that with table tennis. Changed my rackets a few times.I know one thing- Joola has quality products.Thank you.”
“So Joola has a lot of high end paddles and they have some cheap ones to compete with the $25 no-name imports you see all over Amazon. Where does this paddle fit in the lineup? Honestly I didn't think it would fit in at all when I ordered it. I thought it would just be a cheap junk paddle they were charging $129 for.Well it turns out that it does fit in and I'd call it a mid tier paddle in the Joola lineup. It feels like a much better paddle that something you'd spend $25 or $50 for on Amazon. It is a 16mm paddle and as a result gives you much more control than some thin cheap paddle you'd find on Amazon from a no-name company.The surface doesn't really have any texture to it but it does still seem to grip the ball somewhat and help to add some spin. The Hyperion series as well as the Perseus and Scorpeus have a much more textured surface and are definitely better for spin. This paddle has pretty good power but not as much as something thinner.If you are looking to upgrade your first cheap paddle from Amazon, this is a paddle you might want to try at $129. In this price range a Franklin Max Grit may be worth a look. The PCKL Pro and the new carbon face paddle they released could fall in the consideration set. The Joola Hyperion 13.5mm and the 16mm Ben Johns Hyperion CAS might be worth considering as well.In any case, while this may seem to be a strange price and place in the Joola lineup, it is a very good paddle for the price. You don't really hear anything about it or see it promoted much but if you are looking for something in the $120 or so range, this is a paddle worth checking out.”
“I am a Joola fan. I use several high end paddles from Joola. This brand however seems not to be able to create a mid range paddle for the market. The Seneca is suppose to be a paddle for the intermediate players. The construction is good. The handle is comfortable. The power and control balance is exactly what I would expect for a mid range paddle — but not for the price. There are simply much better paddles at this price point in the market as of mid 2023. While I cannot fault the paddle’s performance, I can fault it’s value.”
