JOOLA Kosmos Pro V (16mm) vs JOOLA Scorpeus 3S (14mm)

The JOOLA Kosmos Pro V (16mm) is a 16 mm hybrid paddle; the JOOLA Scorpeus 3S (14mm) is a 14 mm widebody one. Across the 6 specs with a clearly better direction they split 3–3. The Scorpeus 3S (14mm) swings lighter (111.0 vs 114.0) — quicker hands at the net, where the Kosmos Pro V (16mm) plows through the ball instead. That is a preference, not a win. The Scorpeus 3S (14mm) is $20.00 cheaper at $279.95.

Two paddles from the same brand, so the differences are the ones the maker chose. Every number below is lab-measured, not a manufacturer claim.

Open this in the interactive comparison to add up to two more paddles, or tune either one with lead tape on its own page: Kosmos Pro V (16mm) · Scorpeus 3S (14mm).

Static weight 8.0 oz vs 7.8 oz — a few grams of tape moves swing weight far more than static weight, so either can be pushed toward the other.
