JOOLA Unveils Pro V Paddle Collection Featuring Patent-Pending KineticFrame Technology

JOOLA introduced the Pro V collection as its most comprehensive pickleball paddle release to date, pushing a new engineering claim at the paddle throat called KineticFrame and rolling the line into market with pre-orders that opened February 24 and public availability in hands on March 3. The company published its product and marketing announcement out of North Bethesda, MD on March 3 under the campaign name Energy Unlocked.

JOOLA supplied the technical playbook for the KineticFrame in its press text: "Inspired by kick-points engineering found in hockey sticks and golf clubs, the KineticFrame, located at the throat of the paddle, flexes upon ball contact before returning to its original shape. By storing momentum, the paddle can release energy more efficiently, supporting both aggressive offensive swings and composed defensive play." That description anchors JOOLA’s claim that the new component is meant to trade stored momentum for both added power and placement control.

Richard Lee, JOOLA’s CEO and owner, framed the rollout as a deliberate engineering step. "Pro V represents the next step in how we think beyond paddle performance innovation," Lee wrote in the company announcement. He also tied the launch to a broader mission: "As the game continues to evolve, our responsibility is to innovate in ways that improve not just the paddle but the quality of the sport. Our patent-pending, KineticFrame technology in the Pro V does just that by not abandoning, but rather building on, the best performing technology in the game."

Athlete input is a visible piece of JOOLA’s strategy. At JOOLA’s Paddle Haus 2026 event during the PPA Tour’s Mesa Cup in Scottsdale, the company presented a pro-driven product narrative and a new hybrid paddle shape tied to signature models. Federico Staksrud’s Kosmos shape and a Federico Staksrud Signature PRO V were shown as part of that work; independent tester Laura Gainor wrote that after hands-on time with Staksrud’s Signature PRO V, "this is a paddle built for serious players who want power, feel, and consistency under pressure."

Early hands-on color has already leaked into social channels. An unnamed YouTube reviewer working at Hudson Valley Pickle Ball relayed that they had hit what they were told were full production "Yola Pro Fives" blackout models weeks before launch and reported "I got insane dip on the ball from drives and counters, and I also hit the best overhead of my life." The reviewer also quoted JOOLA on construction: "they've added additional carbon fiber reinforcement at the top of the paddle to withstand impact hit after hit," and attributed pro sightings to the PPA Tour, saying "pros like Ben John's and Anna Bright have been using them in the past PPA tournaments."

What remains unlisted in JOOLA’s March 3 release are full specs, MSRP, and a detailed retail rollout beyond examples cited by early reviewers. Laura Gainor signaled additional interviews and content to follow over the week after her February 20 Paddle Haus coverage, which implies more pro perspectives will surface. For now, JOOLA has published the Pro V name, the patent-pending KineticFrame concept, the Energy Unlocked campaign, and a clear launch cadence of February 24 pre-orders leading into March 3 availability.
