JOOLA Ben Johns Hyperion Pro IV 16mm Pickleball Paddle

The Pickleball Paddle

The aerodynamic shape of the Hyperion Pro IV pickleball paddle cuts through the air faster for less drag time and increased swing speed. Now with JOOLA’s patent-pending Tech Flex Power (TFP) technology, the weight has been optimized throughout the paddle, reducing fatigue, and offering the confidence you need to understand your unique play style. By combining TFP with the innovative Propulsion Core, Pro IV gives you power with unparalleled forgiveness to help you put every shot in play. The paddle that started it all features the longest handle in the JOOLA lineup, providing players with enhanced leverage to achieve the perfect balance of spin and control.

The JOOLA Ben Johns Hyperion Pro IV 16mm Pickleball Paddle is UPA-A pro Certified and USAP PBCoR .43 Certified.

Dual Tournament Certification

USA Pickleball & UPA-A Certified

The United Pickleball Association (UPA) and USA Pickleball (USAP) are taking different approaches to grow pickleball. USA Pickleball focuses on keeping things stable and traditional, while the UPA brings fresh ideas and change. Together, they’re helping the sport move forward in exciting ways. The UPA are newer and has introduced a new Interim Certification Program aimed at setting standards for paddle performance and consistency in pickleball. The program assesses paddles based on criteria such as acceptable deflection force and maximum spin potential (measured in RPMs).

Starting in 2025, professional players participating in UPA-sanctioned events, including those in the Professional Pickleball Association (PPA) and Major League Pickleball (MLP), will need to use paddles that meet UPA certification requirements.
