This paddle is in great playing shape and performs exactly like new ( only used for a couple weeks). The carbon fiber face is clean with no cracks, dents, or dead spots. The only wear is minor cosmetic scuffing on the edge guard from normal play (see photos), which doesn’t affect performance. The Perseus Pro IV is JOOLA’s pro-level paddle designed with Ben Johns for elite control, power, and spin. Perfect for players who want a lightweight, fast paddle with excellent feel at the net and plenty of pop for drives.
