    Who each paddle is for

    JOOLA Kosmos Pro V 16

    Best for 3.5+ players who prioritize control and reach who play with a balanced two-handed/one-handed mix. The hybrid shape splits the difference between reach and forgiveness, the 16mm core gives you a soft touch window, and the face surface keeps spin honest without overdoing it.

    Playing style: power, spin

    JOOLA Scorpeus Pro IV 16

    Best for 3.5+ players who prioritize control and reach who play with a balanced two-handed/one-handed mix. The widebody profile gives you a generous sweet spot, the 16mm core gives you a soft touch window, and the face surface keeps spin honest without overdoing it.

    Playing style: control
