The Perseus CFS 16 is the Ben Johns signature paddle that brought the Carbon Friction surface to the Perseus shape, elongated with rounded upper corners. The textured carbon face generates plenty of spin, the 16 mm Reactive Honeycomb core gives consistent touch, and the carbon frame reinforces durability. It weighs 226.8 g (8 oz) on average and measures 41.9 x 19 cm, according to JOOLA Brasil, with USA Pickleball approval. It balances power and control and suits those who play from the back of the court and also at the net.

How the RR Score was calculated

CriterionWeightScore
Specs65%63
Approval from players35%67

The RR Score is not yet a precise figure. It summarizes the data we have today (specs and reviews) and changes as more information comes in. A low score does not mean the racquet is bad and does not reflect its technical quality: often it is just missing data or reviews. The specs combine several sources and may have discrepancies: check the manufacturer's website and the store where you buy.

Buyer reviews

Average of the ratings given at each store, weighted by how many reviews each one has.

Store ratings may reflect the store experience (shipping, service), not only the racquet.
