JOOLA Simone Jardim Hyperion 3S 16mm Pickleball Paddle

Designed for Simone Jardim and players who wish to dominate from all parts of the court like she does, the JOOLA Simone Jardim Hyperion 16mm 3S Pickleball Paddle brings a balanced feel to players everywhere. This paddle boasts the same features as the Ben Johns Hyperion 16 with the same UPA-A approval (not eligible to be used in USA Pickleball sanctioned events) but with a different graphic to set you apart. This subtle graphic adorns the 11” x 7.5” Charged Carbon hitting surface and the surrounding Enhanced Protection Edge Guard. These two features combine to produce a rigid, tacky, and durable performance so that we can hit spinning cut shots, top spinning serves, controlled passes, and never hesitate to pick up those short hop dinks.

To balance out the crisp and rigid feel of the face on the 8.0-ounce Simone Jardim Hyperion 16mm 3S Pickleball Paddle, JOOLA equipped it with a newly refined 16mm Propulsion Core. This 2-piece polypropylene honeycomb and foam core has been tweaked to soften impacts a little more than its predecessors, while still returning energy to the ball on slams, cushioning dinks at the net, and enhancing plow through ability. It also stretches the sweet spot from edge to edge so that we can confidently utilize the 5.5” handle to create fast swing speeds with 2-hand backhands and on monster put aways.

Actual grip sizes may vary up to 1/8".

The United Pickleball Association of America (UPA-A) recently announced the launch of its s Interim Certification Program with the goal setting new benchmarks for paddle performance and consistency in the sport of pickleball. This program looks at Acceptable Deflection Force and Max RPM’s both out of the box and after days of play.

Starting in 2025, all professional pickleball players participating in UPA events, including those in the Professional Pickleball Association (PPA) and Major League Pickleball (MLP), will be required to use UPA-A approved paddles.
