The JOOLA Ben Johns Hyperion C2 16 blends together the best qualities of the Perseus to update the performance of the entire family of Hyperion paddles! Retained are the Aero Curve Head, Carbon Friction Surface (CFS) and Hyperfoam Edge Wall Technologies, which provide industry-leading spin potential, comfort and realistic power. Borrowed from the Perseus is the Charged Carbon Surface, which combined with the CFS improves paddle face durability, delivers even easier access to spin. In addition, the 16mm Reactive Honeycomb Polymer Core of the Hyperion C2 is encased by the same ultra-durable Fully Encased Carbon Frame design as the Perseus. This noticeably improves overall paddle stability and leans power in the direction of precision, which green-lights full swings from the baseline without compromising on the quality of long, patience testing rallies near the NVZ. As with the Perseus and original Hyperion's, a grip diameter of 4 1/8 inch is also standard with the Hyperion C2 16. And to further its all-court versatility, JOOLA pairs the Hyperion C2 16 with a 5.5-inch handle which encourages players to power or finesse their way to the NVZ and on to the podium, using one or two hands on the paddle.
