Elongated: A longer, narrower paddle shape (usually 16.5–17" long x 7.5" wide) designed to increase reach, leverage, and power potential. The added length helps with drives, spin, and covering more court, but typically reduces forgiveness due to a smaller sweet spot.
JOOLA's Elongated Shape(s): Magnus, Agassi, Perseus, Hyperion
Standard: A traditional wide-body paddle shape (typically 16" long x 8" wide) prioritizes a larger sweet spot, forgiveness, and fast hand speed. Players benefit from easier control, consistency, and maneuverability during quick net exchanges, making it ideal for balanced or control-focused play.
JOOLA's Standard Shape: Scorpeus
Hybrid: A middle-ground shape between standard and elongated (about 16.25" long), blending reach with a medium-sized sweet spot. Players gain all-around performance that prioritizes versatility and smooth transitions, making it an “all-court” option.
And now, for the first time ever, JOOLA has a paddle for the third category, Hybrid, the all new signature paddle shape.
JOOLA's Hybrid Shape: Kosmos.
