BIG UPDATE: The new Joola Paddles just got banned by USA pickleball! Joola claimed they "sent them the wrong paddles" to be approved so it's possible things could change but only time will tell. Take into consideration before purchasing usapickleball.org/news/usa-pickleball-statement-on-decertified-joola-paddles-and-equipment-testing-standards/
Hey man! Would you recommend adding weights to this paddle or to the Perseus 16mm? I bought both paddles. I am planning on keeping one and giving one to my gf. I am a bigger guy and I like to rip forehands hard and slam it at the net. She likes to play it safe and is a really consistent player always hits it in but could use some more power on her shots. What do you think? Which paddle would you recommend to who? Really appreciate your thoughts man. Would even be curious if you say neither of these are for us and recommend something else.
Thank you for this analysis. Did you feel significant spin difference between 14" and 16" versions as if technical data is correct on spin , the rating of 16" version is ~500 RPM lower than 14" version (1940RPM , 2425RPM respectively)?
The 14mm version I used was exceptionally gritty, a bit more so then the 16mm so I'd say that's very possible however I also know the grit has been somewhat inconsistent between everyone whose gotten one so it could depend on which one you've received
