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.

Bread & Butter are not your typical brand. Doug and Brodie's story began when their parents, who met at an insurance adjuster's conference, got married, making the two stepbrothers. Despite an initial animosity that led to extreme pranks, they eventually bonded over shared interests, including a love for John Stamos and Better Homes & Gardens Magazine. They founded a tennis company, Tennis Worldwide, and quickly rose to prominence before a tragic accident forced them to shut it down. After feeling dejected, inspiration struck when their dog, Mrs. Pickles, stole their breakfast, leading them to pivot and create the Bread & Butter Pickleball Company, aiming to revolutionize the sport.
