Collin Johns Scorpeus CFS 16mm

The Joola Collin Johns Scorpeus CFS 16mm is a standard-shaped pickleball paddle with a 16mm polypropylene honeycomb core, known for balancing power and control. The carbon fiber face is often associated with control and feel. Weighing 8.1 oz with a 5.25-inch grip, it falls into the midweight category. The swing weight of 113 is on the lower end of medium, suggesting moderate maneuverability.

The 16mm core thickness contributes to control-oriented gameplay. The paddle's spin rating is 6.3/10, drive speed rating is 4.3/10, and volley speed rating is 4.5/10. Its twist weight rating is 6.4/10 (84th percentile), indicating good resistance to twisting on off-center hits. This, combined with the carbon fiber face and medium swing weight, may make it suitable for players prioritizing control and precision.

While the paddle's specifications suggest a focus on control, the moderate swing weight could still provide adequate power for intermediate players. The shorter grip length may not be ideal for players using a two-handed backhand. Players seeking maximum power may find the drive speed and volley speed ratings lower than desired.
