JOOLA Ben Johns Hyperion CFS Pickleball Paddle — Carbon Friction Surface, Elongated Handle

JOOLA Ben Johns Hyperion CFS is a tournament-ready pickleball paddle built for aggressive players who want maximum spin, a larger sweet spot, and a longer handle for two-handed control.

Designed in collaboration with world No. 1 Ben Johns, the Hyperion CFS blends a textured carbon surface, a responsive polymer honeycomb core, and JOOLA’s Hyperfoam Edge Wall to deliver consistent edge-to-edge performance. This paddle balances spin generation with dependable power and reduced vibration, and it meets USAPA rules for sanctioned play. The elongated CX Forged handle with JOOLA’s Sure Grip supports two-handed backhands and improved leverage for offensive volleys.

How does the Hyperion CFS create more spin without sacrificing control?

The Carbon Friction Surface (CFS) uses a Carbon-Flex5 texture that grips the ball for sharper bite on serves and topspin shots. Coupled with a tuned reactive polypropylene honeycomb core, the paddle converts that surface grip into predictable ball response, so spin is repeatable rather than erratic.

• Carbon-Flex5 textured face for enhanced ball friction
• Reactive polypropylene core for consistent dwell time
• Surface and core tuned to balance spin with shot control

What makes the Hyperfoam Edge Wall important during play?

JOOLA’s Hyperfoam Edge Wall fills the paddle perimeter with specialized foam to add stability and increase the effective sweet spot. That means off-center returns feel more consistent and the paddle resists twisting on angled impacts, giving you confidence during rapid exchanges at the net.

• Perimeter foam adds weight and rigidity for stability
• Enlarged usable hitting area for fewer mis-hits
• Improved edge-to-edge performance on angled shots

How does the elongated handle affect grip and shot selection?

The CX Forged elongated handle adds length and flex, creating extra leverage for two-handed backhands and power generation on groundstrokes. JOOLA’s Sure Grip wrap improves comfort and sweat management so you can maintain a secure hold during long matches or fast rallies.

• Longer handle accommodates two-handed backhands comfortably
• Forged construction provides controlled flex for added power
• Sure Grip wrap enhances comfort and moisture control

Its features prioritize spin, stability, and a strong feel, aligning with high-level strategies without stepping outside equipment rules.
