The JOOLA Paddle Gift Guide: Your Journey to Better Pickleball Starts Here
How players can grow their game with one trusted brand — from your first upgrade to pro-level performance
Every pickleball journey has a moment when something clicks. You stop just getting the ball over and start playing with intention: more control, more spin, more strategy. That “next step” in your game doesn’t require expensive pro gear — it requires a paddle built for learning, improving, and growing with you.
That’s exactly why JOOLA created the Vision Series and its tiered paddle family: so new and rising players can grow from entry-level confidence to pro-level success, all under one trusted performance brand.
Step 1: Your First Upgrade
Vision Series Paddles ($89.95–$119.95)
For players moving beyond beginner play, improving control, and wanting a softer touch.
Why it matters: Most players outgrow a cheap Amazon paddle within weeks. Beginners need soft feel, control, and forgiveness, not speed. Vision paddles deliver exactly that, featuring:
JOOLA’s signature control-focused surface
Modern, gift-ready designs.
Ideal for women’s leagues, social players, and anyone building consistency
Best for:
Beginner → Intermediate players
Gift buyers who don’t know someone’s play style
First “real” paddle upgrade
Expert Tip from Ben Johns:
As both an athlete and an entrepreneur, I always encourage players to choose equipment that supports their growth. The JOOLA Vision Series gives new and improving players a paddle with the control, comfort, and feel of JOOLA technology—without needing a pro-level setup on day one. It’s an ideal gift for anyone ready to take the next step in their pickleball journey, whether they’re building a business, a brand, or simply a passion for the sport.

Step 2: Build Spin, Power & Confidence
3S Series ($199.95)
For players leveling up and exploring spin, angles, and offensive play.
Once control is solid, players naturally want to attack: add topspin, speed up the ball, and regain control in kitchen battles. The 3S models deliver:
More spin for sharper angles
More power to finish points
Still forgiving enough for everyday play
Best for:
Improving intermediate players
League players increasing pace
Players experimenting with spin & offense
Step 3: Precision for Competitive Players
JOOLA Pro IV Series ($229.95 - $299.95)
For club and tournament players optimizing every shot.
At this level, players aren’t just hitting balls — they’re shaping points. They need a paddle that rewards precision, speed, and deliberate play. Pro IV models deliver:
Control + speed for strategic offense
Elite balance and acceleration
Pro-tested performance materials
Best for:
Ambitious tournament players
4.0+ competitors
Players who want the best technology JOOLA offers
JOOLA Perseus Aurora Pickleball Pack
The Perfect Starter Set for Families Getting Into Pickleball ($129.95)
The perfect starter bundle for families ready to play pickleball together. This set includes two of JOOLA’s most iconic paddle shapes — the Perseus and Hyperion — in exclusive Aurora designs built with a Cool Press layering process for durability and a smooth, responsive feel.
Bold graphics make these paddles stand out on the court, and the bundle comes complete with four JOOLA Primo balls and a premium sling bag for easy travel to your next family vacation or local courts.
A stylish, beginner-friendly gift that gets everyone playing — and asking, “Where did you get those paddles?”
