JOOLA Graf Pro V Steffi Graf 16mm Pickleball Paddle

Designed for players who take confident, full swings, the JOOLA Graf Pro V Steffi Graf 16mm Pickleball Paddle delivers extended reach with a noticeably large sweet spot. The 16.5" elongated profile adds coverage at the kitchen and leverage from the baseline, while the 16mm thickness keeps the response controlled and composed through contact.

At the core of the Pro V platform is JOOLA’s KineticFrame technology, engineered to reinforce key areas of the frame for a balance of flex and stability. Combined with the Honeycomb Propulsion core and Hyper-Foam Edge Wall, this paddle manages energy efficiently. When we accelerate, it rewards us with heavy, penetrating drives. When defending, it absorbs pace and helps us redirect the ball cleanly. Good luck getting it past us. 

Key Features

• KineticFrame Technology - Reinforced frame construction designed to enhance flex for offense while maintaining stability during defensive exchanges.
