JOOLA Pickleball Paddle GRAF Pro IV 16mm Carbon Fibre - Extended Sweet Spot & USAP Approved

The JOOLA GRAF Pro IV is a 16mm, USAP- and UPA-A-certified pickleball paddle that combines a textured carbon-fiber face, bonded SK film, and an Agassi-inspired shape to expand the sweet spot for added spin, control, and power.

Built for players who want professional-level touch without sacrificing forgiveness, the Graf Pro IV blends advanced materials and a thoughtful profile to make placement and spin easier. The 16mm honeycomb core under a textured carbon surface and SK film bonding creates a responsive feel while the Graf/Agassi paddle shape pushes usable hitting area into the edges and lower corners. An NFC chip provides quick registration and access to JOOLA Connect content.

How does the Graf Pro IV improve accuracy and reach on shots?

The Graf/Agassi-inspired shape increases usable surface area along the upper edges and bottom corners, letting you aim for tighter angles and shots just beyond your opponent’s reach. The larger sweet spot reduces mishits and maintains control on off-center contact.

• Extended sweet spot toward upper edges and lower corners
• Graf/Agassi length and width for added placement options (16.5" x 7.5")
• Robust sweet-spot consistency from SK film bonding

What role does the textured carbon fiber surface play in performance?

The textured carbon face adds surface grip on the ball, which helps generate more spin while keeping a crisp, controlled response. Carbon fiber also offers durability and a snappy feel that many advanced players prefer.

• Textured carbon finish for increased spin generation
• Durable surface resists wear from frequent play
• Balanced power and touch suitable for both drives and soft dinks

How does the 16mm honeycomb core and SK film affect power and feel?

The 16mm honeycomb core is paired with a bonded SK film layer to distribute impact energy across the face, providing a blend of pop and forgiveness. This construction smooths handling and helps maintain consistent response on volleys and baseline shots.

• 16mm core thickness for balanced power and control
• SK film bonding enhances energy transfer and broadens the sweet spot
• Even weight distribution via Tech Flex Power-like design for stable swings

What extras come with the paddle and how do they help?

The paddle includes an embedded NFC chip for fast registration and access to exclusive JOOLA Connect resources and warranty activation. Dimensions and grip specifications are tuned for all-court versatility.

• NFC chip for one-tap registration and JOOLA content access

Who is this for? The JOOLA GRAF Pro IV suits competitive recreational players and advanced amateurs who prioritize edge-to-edge control, spin potential, and a dependable, slightly firmer feel. If you play tournaments or like to place shots with precision while still enjoying a forgiving hitting surface, this paddle is designed to enhance those strengths without forcing a steep adjustment period.
