Ben Johns Perseus 3 14mm

The Joola Ben Johns Perseus 3 14mm is an elongated paddle with a 14mm polypropylene honeycomb core, a material known for its balance of power and control. The carbon fiber face is often associated with control and feel. Weighing 7.8 oz with a 5.5-inch grip, it falls into the mid-weight category. Its 116 swing weight is considered medium, meaning it requires moderate effort to swing.

This paddle's specifications suggest it may be suitable for intermediate to advanced players seeking an all-court paddle. The combination of core and face materials could offer a blend of power and control. Its elongated shape might provide a larger sweet spot and increased reach. The high volley speed (36.87 mph) and pop percentile (98.8%) suggest strong volleying potential. The spin rating of 7.8 and drive speed of 55.9 mph indicate respectable spin and power capabilities.

A potential weakness could be maneuverability for players accustomed to lighter paddles. The 24.8th percentile for twist weight suggests it may be less resistant to twisting on off-center hits compared to other paddles.
