The JOOLA 3S Dual is here, and in this video I put it head-to-head with the original JOOLA 3S and the Pro IV to figure out what actually changed in feel, power, and control. The big headline is that the 3S Dual is dual certified for both USAP and UPA play, which is a huge deal if you bounce between events or just want one paddle that’s good to go in more places. I also break down the updated look across all four shapes—Perseus, Hyperion, Scorpius, and Magnus—plus the smoother face texture that changes how the paddle feels in hand and through contact. The other major update is the price: the 3S Dual comes in at $199.95, and that puts it in a really interesting spot if you loved the original 3S or you’ve been hunting for a more budget-friendly alternative to the Pro IV. I also talk about why paddles need a break-in period and why some pros ended up choosing the 3S over the Pro IV. Bottom line: after testing the differences, I think the 3S Dual is absolutely worth the price.
