Comparison with Perseus 3 16mm:

The main difference between the Perseus 3 14mm and 16mm versions lies in their core thickness. The 16mm paddle offers a slightly thicker core, translating to:

• More Power: The thicker core provides a bit more power behind your shots, ideal for aggressive baseliners who dominate with forceful smashes and volleys.
• Less Control: The trade-off for increased power is a slight reduction in control.

The 14mm version prioritizes a balance between power and control:

• Lighter Weight: Weighing in at 7.8 oz compared to the 16mm's 8 oz average, the 14mm paddle offers greater maneuverability for quicker reflexes and faster swings.
• Enhanced Control: The thinner core provides a slightly better feel for the ball, allowing for more precise shot placement and touch shots.

Who Should Choose the Perseus 3 14mm?

This paddle is ideal for players who:

• Prioritize a balance between power and control.
• Value maneuverability and faster swing speeds.
• Appreciate a lighter weight paddle for extended gameplay comfort.
• Want a versatile paddle for all areas of the court.

Summary:

The Joola Ben Johns Perseus 3 14mm is a premium pickleball paddle designed for the competitive player seeking a perfect blend of power and control in a lightweight package. JOOLA's Gen 3 technology and the large sweet spot make this paddle a weapon for aggressive play.
