What paddle does Lea Jansen use?

Pending

The short answer

Lea Jansen's most likely paddle is the JOOLA Hyperion Pro V, which she describes as her next paddle in her own words, quoted in JOOLA's November 3, 2026 signature launch, while PPA still lists a Kosmos Pro V 14mm. Match use since the launch, her thickness, weight, tape, grip, overgrip and shoes are pending.

Lea Jansen is a right-handed PPA Tour professional based in Austin, Texas. JOOLA lists her on its player roster and released her signature Hyperion Pro V paddle on November 3, 2026.

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

JOOLA Hyperion Pro V Lea Jansen signature (sold in 16mm)

Most likely Conflicting reports

The Hyperion is the only dated report and comes from her own account, as summarized by The Dink from a JOOLA video in August 2026 and quoted in JOOLA's November 3, 2026 launch post. That account places the Agassi before the Hyperion and never mentions a Kosmos, so the undated PPA and roster lines look older. It is not confirmed because those listings still disagree, she has not played since the launch, and the thickness she plays is not stated.

Player-reported: In JOOLA's November 3, 2026 launch post she says she is moving on to the Hyperion, and The Dink reported in August 2026, from a JOOLA video, that the Hyperion was her current paddle. The signature edition launched while she was out injured, so no match use of it has been reported; the thickness she plays is not stated.

Lea Jansen's signature edition of the JOOLA Hyperion Pro V, launched November 3, 2026 in a Lime Green and Light Purple gradient. JOOLA sells this edition in one thickness (16mm). It is a retail product; JOOLA does not say whether her own match paddle differs, and no match use of this edition had been reported by November 7, 2026.

She did not play the November 2026 World Championships, so no match use of the new paddle has been reported.

More context

The longer answer.

Pickleball.com reported that she was not competing at the November 2026 World Championships while recovering from a fractured patella, so the signature paddle had not been seen in a match by November 7, 2026. JOOLA's roster card still lists a Kosmos 16mm and an Agassi 14mm Pro V for her.

JOOLA Hyperion Pro V (Lea Jansen signature), most likely

Unresolved: JOOLA Kosmos Pro V 14mm (PPA) or Kosmos 16mm and Agassi 14mm Pro V (JOOLA roster) JOOLA Hyperion Pro V (Lea Jansen signature), most likely

Dated to JOOLA's signature launch. Her own account in JOOLA's August 2026 video, as reported by The Dink, already named the Hyperion as her current paddle. Recorded as a most likely lead, not a confirmed switch, because she has not played since the launch and PPA and the JOOLA roster card were not updated.
