JOOLA Agassi Pro V 16mm Pickleball Paddle - Andre Agassi Royal Blue (Global)

JOOLA Agassi Pro V 16mm: a pickleball paddle that feels like a tennis racket

The Agassi Pro V was developed with tennis legend Andre Agassi. Its tapered throat and extended sweet spot are shaped like a tennis racket head, so players who hit the ball high on the face get more power and control.

That makes it a natural choice if you are coming to pickleball from tennis. It is the paddle used by Brooke Buckner and Kate Fahey, two former college tennis stars who became top pickleball pros.

Specifications

Weight may vary slightly from paddle to paddle.

The Agassi shape

Most paddles keep the sweet spot near the centre. The Agassi moves it higher and wider, the way a tennis racket does.

• Tapered throat: the paddle narrows towards the handle and widens towards the top, like a tennis racket head.
• Extended sweet spot: the hitting zone reaches into the upper and outer edges, so shots struck high on the face stay solid.
• Long 5.5 in handle: plenty of room for a two-handed backhand.

Pro V technology

• KineticFrame: the throat flexes on impact and springs back, which helps control depth from the baseline and keeps the paddle stable in fast exchanges at the kitchen.
• Propulsion Core: controlled flex inside the paddle gives a spring-like response for power on drives and counters without a bigger swing.
• Hyperfoam Edge Wall: foam around the edges adds stability and forgiveness on off-centre hits.
• Textured carbon face: grips the ball for topspin on drives, serves and rolls.

Agassi vs Perseus vs Hyperion Pro V

All three share the same Pro V technology, size and weight. The head shape decides how each one plays.

Who it is for

• Tennis players moving to pickleball who want a familiar feel
• Players who naturally strike the ball high on the paddle face
• Players with a two-handed backhand
• Intermediate to advanced players who want power from the baseline and touch at the net

Who should skip it

• Complete beginners: this is a tour-level elongated paddle. A wide-body paddle is easier while you learn.
• Players on a budget: the JOOLA Perseus Double Vision gives JOOLA quality in an elongated shape for much less.
• Players who want free power: the foam-core JOOLA Perseus Power FX generates more pace with less effort.

Frequently asked questions

Did Andre Agassi design this paddle?

Yes. The Agassi shape was developed with Andre Agassi and is inspired by the tennis rackets he played with. This Pro V version adds JOOLA's latest technology to that shape.

Is the Agassi Pro V good for tennis players?

Yes, that is who it was designed for. Tennis players tend to hit the ball higher on the face, and the Agassi's extended sweet spot rewards that. The long handle also suits two-handed backhands.

How much does the JOOLA Agassi Pro V 16mm weigh?

About 8.1 oz, or roughly 230g. That is a mid-weight, with good stability on drives and enough hand speed at the net.

What is the difference between Agassi and Perseus?

Both are elongated Pro V paddles of the same size and weight. The Agassi has a tapered throat with the sweet spot pushed higher and wider, like a tennis racket. The Perseus keeps the sweet spot centred for steadier contact.

Should I choose 16mm or 14mm?

The 16mm gives a softer feel, more control and a 4.25 in grip. The 14mm is slightly lighter at 7.9 oz, with more pop and a slimmer 4.125 in grip. Most players are better served by the 16mm.

Is this paddle approved for tournaments?

Pro V paddles are made to USA Pickleball and UPA-A standards for competition. Check the approval marking on the paddle face if you are buying for a sanctioned event.
