As pickleball continues its rapid evolution, the JOOLA 3S series was created in parallel, designed to outlast and outperform the competition. The Ben Johns Hyperion 3S 14mm pickleball paddle improves on JOOLA’s iconic Aero Curve shape by adding a new and improved core, combined with existing Propulsion Core technology to deliver a paddle with potent power and sharp control. 3S paddles were built for enhanced stability, giving the player the ability for flawless shot placement and elevated handling. Feeling 3S is believing, a solid paddle, stable enough to offer smooth control with every shot and strong enough to allow you to perform at your best every match. Each 3S paddle adheres to the official performance standards of pickleball and each paddle is UPA-A certified, empowering you to unleash your full potential. TECHNICAL SPECS
