JOOLA is set to introduce the Hybrid Kosmos Pickleball Paddle as part of its Pro V launch scheduled for March 3, 2026. The paddle blends two well-known shapes, Perseus and Scorpius, into a single new design that will be the signature paddle for athletes Federico Staksrud and Tyson McGuffin. This hybrid aims to offer enhanced versatility for players.
Specifications and Design Intentions
According to details shared on JOOLA’s Instagram, the Kosmos paddle measures 16.3 inches in length and 7.7 inches in width, fully maximizing the allowed dimensions for an official paddle. The brand promotes it as “The ultimate versatility paddle,” highlighting the fusion of two successful forms into one innovative product.
