Expert player kit
The expert kit, a JOOLA Pro V primary paddle, a Six Zero Double Black Diamond backup, premium court shoes, tungsten tuning tape and a practice rebounder, costs about $886.62 at current prices. Most players should not buy it.
JOOLA's current flagship with a raw carbon textured face; the most paddle Amazon sells from a major brand.
8.1 oz listed · 14 mm core · elongated shape · carbon fiber face
This is the performance ceiling for a competitive player who already knows their weight, grip and core preferences. It carries two paddles on purpose: a match paddle and a backup in a different core thickness, because a cracked or dead paddle mid-event is otherwise the end of your day.
