What is on the record now?

A sponsor deal or product page tells you the brand and model, not the exact match paddle, weight, or tape. Each field below shows its own source and date.

Paddle Confirmed

JOOLA Perseus Pro V 16mm (signature variant unconfirmed)

via Pickleball Central; Ben Johns 16mm colorway, player colorway unconfirmed

Brand-reported: This is JOOLA's team-page listing, not an independent recent match sighting. Colorway, personal build and latest match use remain unverified.

JOOLA's retail Perseus Pro V 16mm listing offers distinct signature variants. This is a model-line shopping reference; a player's profile must establish their own paddle claim, while the retail listing cannot establish that player's colorway, grip size, or customized build.
