My True Love.

It is the perfect paddle for me. I can drive the ball w/power and force as well as soften my shot when needed.

Loving It So Far

I have just started playing with my new paddle and I am loving it so far - it’s got pop!!

Short Lifespan…

The paddle performs really well and suits my playing style perfectly, especially since I tend to play fast and hit harder than average. It gives me great control on the court. However, after only about five uses, I noticed a core issue — when I shake the paddle, I can already hear something loose inside. For a $280 paddle, the build quality is surprisingly weak. I expected more from Joola at this price point. I haven’t tried contacting Golf Galaxy yet to see if they can exchange me one. Hoping they honor Joola’s warranty!

Bettered My Pickleball Game

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My pickleball game wasn’t the best before this racket. I was using a freebie racket that I received. Once I switched to this racket my game improved significantly. I didn’t realize how much a racket can impact the game. I would recommend this ticket for anyone serious about pickleball.

Very Comfort !

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am just a beginner in this pickerball game...so maybe my experience has not used all the benefits it brings. After more than 1 week of experiencing it...the first impression is that it is light...the sturdy handle helps me move easily when playing...the rough surface of the racket helps beginners like me practice hitting the ball more easily...I hope I have more experiences with it in the future.

The Best Pickleball Bat That I Can Ever Have

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The JOOLA Collin Johns Scorpeus 3S 16MM Pickleball Paddle stands out as a premium choice for serious players who demand both performance and control on the court. It’s sleek, modern design with a textured surface that not only looks great but enhances grip and ball control. The paddle is particularly well-suited for intermediate to advanced players. I love the paddle's surface texture and its lightweight design. The paddle’s construction is robust. Hoping to improve my game and sure I won’t be disappointed. Can’t wait for this summer for outdoor gaming. I definitely recommend this for my friends. And holding this new pickleball bat that was signed by Collin johns is feeling like prestigious.

Great Touch

Just got it for Xmas. Gives a lot more power than my old Hyperion. I feel like I have more control of my ball placement. Just need to adjust to the touch

Defects, Poor Structural Integrity

Bought this 3 weeks ago and snapped at the handle during a normal swing

Great Fit😊

After setting it up for my preferred balance point and weight, I played some lower level games while switching between it and my Mach One and Luxx C.A. Epic. The S3 is a high degree blend of those. For my style of play, it’s a GREAT fit!

Great Paddle. Good Control And Pop.

The broad paddle is what I’m most comfortable with. The handle length isn’t too bad either. You can definitely do a two handed return with it. The paddle has pretty good pop and also good control with the 16mm thickness. It’s not as poppy as the 3 or the mod 15ta, but as an intermediate player it works well for me.

Small Improvements On 3s Scorpeus

I went from hyperion to C2 to Gen3 Scorpeus to 3s Scopeus. The gen3 scopeus was great - power and control, large sweet spot, but I was taking to many complaints during open play about the "illegal paddle". I have had the 3s for about 3 weeks, I was actually surprised to find a "tighter" feel on my drives - they felt more in control. The dinking was handled better also. The sweet spot was just as large. It seems Joola toned down the trampoline effect on this 3s, I like it much more the gen3. My gen3 has not come out of my bag in 3 weeks. No complaints at open play with the 3s. The Joola grip on the 3s feels good, the gen3 grip felt like and after thought - it started to unravel after a few weeks. If you are a control player who wants a little more power this is the paddle for you. 5 stars...
