Today is the official release date of JOOLA's new Perseus and Scorpeus paddles. I've had the opportunity to play with both  over the last week as I was able to get them in a bit early. I have played with both in the 16mm version. I have...

I love working with amazing people. I love helping people's lives get better. I love working on brain-engaging problems. I love challenges, I don't shy away from them. If it's boring or easy, I honestly don't care for it. I like work th...
