*To clarify, when I said my recommendations are not Gen-3 style paddles I meant that they do not incorporate foam in the core like the JOOLA Gen-3 paddles and other Gen-3 style paddles that also have foam incorporated in the core in one way or another. However, the recommended paddle alternatives are still all power type paddles.*
On June 4, 2024, USAP announced that the JOOLA Gen-3 paddles would remain delisted from the USAP approved paddle list. Therefore, these paddles cannot be used in tournaments and are not compliant with the approved paddle guidelines. The Gen-3 JOOLA paddles are heavy power paddles that many players have been liking. However, since the future of these paddles is uncertain, players who are using them will need to find suitable replacements.
Given the circumstances, my recommendation is to consider the following paddles as alternative options. These recommended power paddles are approved and have a similar profile as the JOOLA Gen-3 paddles, making them some of the best alternatives you'll find.
