JOOLA Unveils Dual-Certified Pro IV and Agassi Pro Pickleball Paddles
 Featuring Signature Paddle Shapes and Pro IV Technology

Rockville, MD (3/4/25) – JOOLA’s innovative Pro IV and Agassi Pro pickleball paddles become the first in the JOOLA lineup to receive dual certification from both the UPA-A and USAP.

“Quality and innovation remain our guiding light, and with the creation of Pro IV, we really worked hard to make a paddle that met the standards set by both the UPA-A and USAP,” said Richard Lee, CEO & Owner of JOOLA. “Enabling as many players as possible to experience the JOOLA Pro IV paddles will further our mission to grow the sport on a global level.”

The JOOLA Pro IV series arrives on March 4th, bringing back JOOLA’s signature Hyperion, Perseus, Magnus, and Scorpeus paddle shapes. Available in 14mm and 16mm thickness, these paddles deliver a versatile playing experience tailored to different styles of play.

JOOLA’s Propulsion Core and patent-pending new TechFlex Power (TFP) technology form the foundation of the Pro IV series. By optimizing weight distribution throughout the paddle, JOOLA delivered a paddle that balances flexibility and stability while maintaining power, touch, and forgiveness.

“Our main focus going into the design process of the Pro IV was fixing the overall solidity across the entire surface of the paddle,” said pickleball world #1 Ben Johns, “We added supports near the throat area to create more flex more when you’re hitting. This helps make the outer edge more consistent. When you mishit or don’t hit it in the middle it’s extremely forgiving.”

“Playing with the new Pro IV Scorpeus 14mm is nothing short of amazing,” said JOOLA Pro Anna Bright, “The new technology improves on JOOLA’s existing paddle design in almost every way. There’s enhanced feel, better dwell time, and my favorite, much more spin. I feel like I can do more with the ball with less effort, AND I haven’t even fully unlocked the paddle’s potential. I’ve used one paddle for over a month now, which is also always a plus! With the Pro IV, I’m always ready for whatever my opponents are going to throw at me.”

Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf expand their commitment to pickleball with the launch of Agassi and Graf Pro signature paddles. Featuring the striking black and red aesthetics of the Agassi line, these paddles are the perfect blend of Agassi inspiration and JOOLA innovation.

Both the Agassi Pro (14mm and 16mm) and Graf Pro (16mm) incorporate JOOLA's TFP technology, ensuring optimal control and precision. Additionally, the unique new “Agassi” shape, inspired by the tennis rackets that made Agassi and Graf household names, provides a larger the sweet spot to enhance power and consistency on the court

“Our partnership with JOOLA focuses on growing the pickleball community and designing paddles to meet players at any level," said Andre Agassi. "I can’t wait for the world to experience the Agassi Pro, a paddle crafted with a combination of our vision and JOOLA’s highest level of quality and innovation."

“Being a part of the JOOLA family has only increased our enjoyment and commitment to pickleball, said Stefanie Graf. “Andre and I put the same passion and approach that guided our tennis careers in to developing the best version of the Graf and Agassi Pro paddles. We look forward to adding to everyone’s enjoyment of the game.”

“Being a part of team Agassi with Andre and Steffi is pretty incredible,” said Agassi signature athlete Brooke Buckner. “I feel that with the Agassi x JOOLA brand the sky is the limit, and it might encourage even more tennis players to come over to pickleball and give it a shot. I think we can all get along,” she continued.
