JOOLA Kosmos Pro V Federico Staksrud 16mm Pickleball Paddle

Created for high level all court play, the JOOLA Kosmos Pro V Federico Staksrud 16mm Pickleball Paddle introduces an entirely new shape to the Pro V lineup. The Kosmos profile blends the extended reach of the Perseus with the broader sweet spot of the Scorpeus, landing at 16.3" long and 7.7" wide. The result is a true hybrid that feels quicker than a full elongated build but more forgiving than a narrow performance shape.

In hand, the 16mm thickness adds dwell time that helps slow the ball down during transitions, which aligns with Staksrud’s strategic, composed style of play. The Honeycomb Propulsion core works with JOOLA’s KineticFrame construction to store and release energy efficiently, so we can move from soft dinks to confident drives without changing paddles or adjusting our swing path. Compared to other Pro V shapes, the Kosmos sits directly in the middle. It offers more stability than Perseus, more reach than Scorpeus, and a more neutral balance point for players who compete in both singles and doubles.

Key Features

• New Kosmos Hybrid Shape - Combines Perseus length with Scorpeus sweet spot expansion for balanced reach and forgiveness.

Expert Snapshot Review

"The Kosmos shape feels like the missing link in the JOOLA lineup. It gives you enough reach to attack in singles, but the sweet spot is wide enough to feel steady in fast doubles exchanges. It plays balanced and composed, especially in transition." - PickleballCentral Gear Expert
