Pickle's Take
16mm core, carbon fiber face. Soft, plush feel and a forgiving sweet spot. Best for dinkers and counter-attackers who win at the kitchen line.

Read Pickle's full breakdown
Who should buy the Pro V
Buy it if you're a 4.0+ player with real swing speed who wants Joola's top-tier build and a higher power ceiling. The 2025 hybrid frame plays softer and more muted than you'd expect, leaning slightly control-friendly, but it unlocks serious pop for players who swing fast enough to load it. The flagship for those who already know they want it.
Who should skip it
Skip it if you can't tell the difference between this and the $249.95 Pro IV - you're paying an extra $50 for the newest hybrid shape and a softer feel, not a transformation. Slower swingers won't reach its power ceiling, and control-first players get more from a dedicated thick control paddle. It's a refinement, not a leap.
The main tradeoff
You pay a flagship premium for incremental, swing-speed-dependent gains. The hybrid pop is real but only unlocks for fast swingers, and the Pro IV gets a 4.0 most of the way there for $50 less.
Is it worth it?
Top of Joola's line and priced like it at $299.95. Worth it only if you're a 4.0+ with the swing speed to exploit the extra power ceiling - otherwise the Pro IV is the value play and the Perseus the name play. You're buying the halo SKU.
