The Razer x JOOLA – Perseus Pro IV 16mm is specially designed for high-stakes rallies, fast-paced exchanges, and performance even under pressure. It boasts a raw carbon surface that enhances spin control and dwell time to allow precise shot-making with both power and finesse.
This special paddle also features a balanced swing weight that helps support quick transitions and reactive play, making the paddle ideal for players who thrive on agility and speed. What’s more, each Razer x JOOLA – Perseus Pro IV 16mm paddle is embedded with an NFC chip that connects to the JOOLA Infinity App and lets players unlock exclusive content, pro tips, and extended warranty.
JOOLA and Razer have also announced that they will release only 1,337 units of the Razer x JOOLA – Perseus Pro IV 16mm paddle. That number is also by design, as “1337” in gaming culture means “LEET”—short for “elite”—and is used to describe exceptional top-level skill and mastery.
