What paddle does Pablo Tellez use?
Tellez’s official PPA Tour athlete page lists the JOOLA Hyperion Pro V 16mm. At 16mm, it’s a thicker, more control- and consistency-leaning build than a 14mm power paddle — which fits a high-level doubles specialist who lives at the kitchen line and wins with placement and steadiness.

Why this paddle fits his game
Tellez is a doubles-first player who relies on hands, resets and precise placement rather than raw pace. A 16mm control-leaning paddle gives him a bigger, more forgiving sweet spot and the touch to reset hard balls — exactly what a net-oriented doubles game demands.
Should you use his paddle?
A 16mm control paddle is a great fit for doubles players and anyone who wants a forgiving, steady feel at the net. If you play a power-and-drive game, a thinner build may suit you better. Our best control paddles guide covers the forgiving options, and our full pro paddle list shows who plays what.
