First Look: JOOLA's First Full-Foam Paddle, the POWER FX

by Alex E. Weaver on

The hyped new release will debut nationwide on September 30 and retail for just $179.99

JOOLA just released more details, including specs and pricing, for their highly anticipated POWER FX, the first full-foam paddle in the brand's history.

According to a release:

"POWER FX is designed to give pickleball players of every level effortless power — more freedom to play their game, room to do more with every shot, more confidence knowing there is power already on your side."

JOOLA has been notably slow to adopt full-foam technology, a construction that's become ubiquitous among their competitors and largely expected from the consumer.

POWER FX is their answer.

In their own words:

"Anyone can add foam. Tuning our patented propulsion core and combining with a foam construction and adding an optimized surface layup until they work as one system is the part that took time to create a high performing power paddle."

Here's what we know:

  • POWER FX is JOOLA's first paddle built with foam construction, powered by its patented Propulsion Core technology
  • Paddle core measures 16mm, engineered to deliver "effortless power on every shot"
  • Launching in the colorway of Daydream (green/teal)
  • Retailing at $179.95, available starting September 30 at retailers nationwide

"With POWER FX we are bringing JOOLA's advanced engineering, applied to the material many players have been asking for because we believe everyone deserves power," said Gordon Kaye, Chief Experience Officer of JOOLA.

"This doesn't change our commitment to pushing pro-level performance forward — it's about making sure that same standard reaches every player, not just professionals on tour."
