FAQs
What makes the Agassi Pro IV different from JOOLA's other paddle shapes?
The Agassi shape has a tapered throat and an enlarged upper sweet spot that suits players who strike the ball toward the top of the paddle, a natural fit for players transitioning from tennis.
Who are the signature pros behind the Agassi Pro IV?
Tennis legend Andre Agassi, Kate Fahey, and Brooke Buckner each share this signature paddle, built around JOOLA's TechFlex Power technology.
Should I get the 14mm or 16mm version?
14mm gives a faster, poppier response for players who like to drive and speed up; 16mm gives more control, dwell time, and forgiveness — best for touch shots and dinks.
What is TechFlex Power?
TechFlex Power places foam outside the paddle frame but under the edge guard, working with the honeycomb core to expand the sweet spot and add a poppier feel on drives, it's the signature tech of the Pro IV generation. The Advanced foam application at the throat of the paddle optimizes weight distribution in the frame, enhances flexibility, and increases twist weight to deliver unrivaled control and precision.
Is this a good shape for tennis players switching to pickleball?
Yes. The Agassi paddle shape is a strong fit for tennis players transitioning to pickleball because it combines three familiar-feeling design elements:
Added length for extended reach.
A tapered throat for a more natural hand feel through the swing.
An expanded upper sweet spot that supports contact higher on the paddle face.
That upper-face forgiveness matters because tennis players often make contact in the top 35% to 40% of the racket frame, rather than directly in the center. The Agassi shape helps translate that familiar contact point into a pickleball paddle built for control, reach, and confidence during the transition.
