JOOLA Hyperion CFS 16mm — Review
The Hyperion CFS 16 is JOOLA's elongated power stick, the one you see on tour with the long handle built for a two-handed backhand. The friction carbon face snaps the ball out hard, and the 16mm core keeps it from feeling like a trampoline. It is a baseliner's paddle.

What stood out
- Explosive face. The CFS surface launches drives with real pace and bites for spin.
- Long-handle reach. The extended grip suits a two-handed backhand and adds court coverage.
- Stable at speed. The elongated frame stays composed through fast hands exchanges.
What to weigh
- Power-first. Soft game takes practice. The pop can sail your dinks if you are loose.
- Less forgiving. It rewards clean contact and punishes lazy swings more than a widebody would.
Who it's for
Built for the aggressive player who drives from the back and likes a two-hander. Newer players will fight the power before they enjoy it.
Verdict
Power A tour-grade power paddle with the reach to match. Bring your swing.
