JOOLA Scorpeus Pro V Collin Johns 16mm Pickleball Paddle

Take control of the tempo and extend every rally with the JOOLA Scorpeus Pro V Collin Johns 16mm Pickleball Paddle. Built around the same compact Scorpeus shape, this version emphasizes steadiness and precision for players who thrive on consistency. New to the Pro V is KineticFrame technology that adds power on offense and cushions defensive strikes on a level we have never experienced.

At 16" by 8", Scorpeus remains the shortest and widest profile in the Pro V family. Collin’s boasts a thicker 4.25in grip circumference. Compared to elongated Hyperion and Perseus models, it offers less reach but greater stability and forgiveness at the net. Compared to the hybrid Kosmos, it feels even more planted and defensive. The 16mm core increases dwell time, helping absorb incoming pace and redirect shots with accuracy. Within the Pro V lineup, this configuration is the most control focused widebody, especially suited to strategic doubles play.
