Perseus CFS 16

I've been playing for about 8 months now. I started with a cheap paddle that came in a set and could tell right away it was not very good because it was so slick and did not produce any spin. I bought an intermediate paddle that had the carbon fiber and was much better. I used it for abouts 6 months and I was improving to the point I thought I should try a better paddle. I bought this one after much research and I could tell right away it was much better at both control and power. I received many compliments on my play the first day and have really enjoyed using this paddle!

Great paddle!

This was bought as a gift. My husband is enjoying it. He likes the weight and grip, and it offers power, control and spin as advertised. Got it during Prime Days, so it was a great deal.

Excellent

I purchased this on sale and it was a great value. I'm an advanced beginner and was looking for a paddle to grow with me. Chose this after playing with a few Joola gen 3 paddles and liking their feel, but wanting something a little less pricy. I also did a lot of research online and this paddle got consistently good reviews.I immediately loved the long handle (5.5”) with slightly less girth than other paddles I'd been playing with. I do not have big hands and didn't play two handed so I didn't think the length would make much difference to me, but it felt more comfortable right away. The grip gets tacky as you sweat and helped me keep my hands light on the paddle. I did end up adding an overgrip after a little while just to protect the original grip from dirt.At first I found this paddle to be a little too poppy for my play style and ability. I ended up adding tungsten tape at the neck and sides which has given me more control. I really enjoy the way this paddle plays now that I've customized it to my preferences. I have enough pop & power for my needs, but also a good soft game.The elongated shape gives me a little more reach and the aerocurve shape has worked well for me. I'm very happy with this paddle and expect it to last until I'm ready to move up to the next gen in a year or so.

Very impressed with this paddle. As an intermediate level player, I was looking for a bit more power on my hits and this paddle definitely delivers. It has also provided increased control on shot placement.

Love my new paddle. It did take several weeks to arrive however

Excellent combination of control, spin and power. I like it a lot and it definitely helped me with my game. However, I would appreciate if Joola would ship it in more secure packaging and would have included a sleeve. When you are paying so much for these paddles then these are some basic things that you expect.
