The Ben Johns Journey paddle is a very capable offering from JOOLA. Sharing many of the same traits & technologies featured on more advanced paddles, but at an entry-level price, this Journey paddle makes a great choice as a first performance paddle. On-tap power comes as a result of the 7.8 ounce average weight, along with a little extra energy return, from the Journey's 10mm Response Polymer Core. Control is easily maintained thanks to the maneuverable 15.8 inch length, 5 inch handle length, and forgiving fiberglass surface. Combined with several color ways to choose from, the JOOLA Journey is a great option for the recreational player looking to take it to the next level.
