I'm a big fan of the Collin Johns Scorpeus and the Hyperion CFS 16 was one of, if not the best paddle on the market for quite some time. A lot of pros use Joola and for good reason. They're good paddles.

Times are changing though. Honestly, you don't need to spend Joola prices (^$200) to get a really good paddle. See brands like SixZero or VaticPro.

The Black Ace that ProKennex has got insane power and the edge-less design is pretty sweet, imo. It's got a 10mm core, aka more power than most paddles. I like this brand for this paddle alone.
