Summary

The Joola Collin Johns Scorpeus 3 16mm is a standard-shaped 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 oz with a 5.25” grip, it falls into the midweight category. The swing weight of 111 is considered low, potentially making it easy to maneuver. The 16mm core thickness contributes to control-oriented play.

With a spin rating of 7.8, drive speed rating of 8.0, volley speed rating of 8.7, and a twist weight rating of 6.5, this paddle may appeal to players seeking a blend of power and control. Its high twist weight percentile (86th) suggests good stability on off-center hits. The relatively high drive speed and volley speed ratings could benefit aggressive players. However, players prioritizing maximum power may find its midweight classification a potential limitation.
