Perseus Pro V 14mm: reviews and opinions
In Matt's Pickleball tests it has practically the same ball speed and spin as the 16 mm version (60.4 mph on serve, 2,289 rpm), with a lower swing weight (115 versus 121): it moves faster at the net. Dimensions are those of the 16 mm Perseus; a thin core generally gives more power and less control.
Strengths
- Very high spin in tests
- Quicker at the net than the 16 mm
- USAP and UPA-A approved
Limitations
- Among the highest prices on the market
- Less soft-game control than the 16 mm
It suits you if
- You play aggressively and want fast hands at the net
- You already have a solid soft game
Better choose another paddle if
- You want control and forgiveness: the 16 mm is better
- You are on a tight budget
