JOOLA Agassi Champion pickleball paddle, Single 12mm Fiberglass, 16.5 x 7.5 in sandblasted face, extended sweet spot

The JOOLA Agassi Champion 12mm is a tournament-ready pickleball paddle that blends an extended Agassi-shaped sweet spot, sandblasted textured face for extra spin, and an NFC chip for direct access to JOOLA training content.

Built to help new and progressing players sharpen control, add spin, and feel comfortable through long sessions, this JOOLA paddle pairs a slightly longer, tapered Agassi outline with a 12mm core thickness for a balanced response. The Feel-Tec Pure Grip reduces vibration and improves comfort, while the sandblasted surface increases ball bite for more reliable topspin and slice. USAP and UPA-A certifications mean it meets competitive standards, and the embedded NFC makes registration and coaching content immediate and simple.

How does the Agassi shape change my hitting window?

The Agassi-inspired silhouette relocates and stretches the sweet spot toward the upper edges of the paddle, making off-center strikes more forgiving and giving you extra reach on dinks and drives. Its 16.5" length and 7.5" width create a longer face without sacrificing maneuverability.

• Extended sweet spot toward top-edge for improved contact
• 16.5" length for extra reach on volleys and lobs
• 7.8 oz average weight balances power and control
• 5.5" grip length suited to single-handed and two-handed play

Will the sandblasted surface really increase spin and control?

The paddle's textured exterior was engineered to grip the ball more effectively on contact, producing enhanced rotation and predictable ball flight on serves and groundstrokes. Players notice better bite when applying topspin or backspin, which translates into more consistent shot placement.

• Sandblasted CAS texture for added friction and spin
• Responsive face for controlled shot shaping
• Helps stabilize returns and angled shots at the net

What comfort and feel does the grip and core provide?

The Feel-Tec Pure Grip softens impact and dampens vibration so your hand stays more comfortable through extended rallies. Combined with the 12mm core, the paddle offers a medium-stiff response that balances power with touch for kitchen play and baseline drives alike.

• Cushioned grip reduces hand fatigue and vibration
• 12mm core thickness for a blend of power and feel
• Designed for consistent feedback without harsh shocks

How do the NFC chip and certifications benefit me?

The embedded NFC tag connects your paddle to JOOLA’s digital resources—hold your phone near the paddle to register and unlock training material and warranty details. USAP and UPA-A approvals confirm the paddle meets tournament rules so you can compete without equipment concerns.

• NFC enablement links to JOOLA Connect App content and registration

• USAP & UPA-A certified for sanctioned play
