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 Mach 1 FORZA is at a good price point for a thermoformed paddle. If you prefer elongated, they've got the Mach 2 FORZA. These feel like similar paddles to the Six Zero DBD. Both great paddles & at similar price points.
