Source: pickleballcentral.com (verified 2026-08-01). PickleballCentral's live product page for the JOOLA Ben Johns Perseus Pro IV 16mm (fetched directly) states an average weight of 8.1oz (7.9-8.3oz range), 16.5in x 7.5in dimensions, a 16mm (0.629in) core, 'Honeycomb Propulsion' core with 'Hyper-Foam Edge Wall', a textured carbon-fiber face, a 5.5in/4.25in grip, and a $249.95 price; it lists the paddle as USAP and UPA-A approved. A general web search independently confirmed the Perseus Pro IV line (14mm and 16mm) is 'UPA-A pro certified and USAP PBCoR .43 certified' per joola.com collection copy, corroborating the approval status, though joola.com itself returned HTTP 429 to direct fetches during this research and could not be used as a primary source. spin_rpm is left null because no fetched source published a specific spin-rate figure for this model.
