choosing a right blade
Outer Veneers – The type of wood use as the blade’s outer veneer plays a major part in determining touch and feeling.
Composite Fibers – Whether any and which composite fibers were used will have an impact on the speed, control, and feeling.
Dimensions – The size of the head, handle, and thickness, as well as the overall balance will affect how you perform with the blade.
Component Structure – Whether the composite fiber is used as an outer layer or as an inner layer will impact how pronounced its characteristics are.
Ratings – JOOLA has created a blade rating system, which covers speed, control, accuracy, hardness, and flex to give you a better idea of how the blade will perform.

top layer & Composite fibers
Koto
A classic topspin wood, hard KOTO outer veneers provide a crisper feel for direct and powerful shots.
Limba
A soft yet durable wood, LIMBA outer veneers provide more controllability and better touch without sacrificing speed.
Hinoki
A highly sought-after premium Japanese wood, HINOKI is characteristically soft with a bit of bounce and creates a one-of-a-kind touch that increases dwell-time for extra spin and control.
KL-c
Best known for its use in bulletproof body armor, lightweight KL-C is able to soften hard blows. It is this characteristic that when woven with CARBON, helps to create a medium-hard stroke with shocking levels of control.
3K-c
Every strand of the 3K-c weave is made up of 3,000 individual CARBON filaments, which significantly reduces vibrations to create an enlarged sweet spot. This fiber’s most notable characteristic is its hard, direct touch.
ARY-c
ARY-c is a multi-dimensional weave of stiff and elastic composite materials. The resulting fiber produces a large sweet spot, enabling the player to execute exceptionally fast shots with great precision.
Hyper ARY-c
The same composite materials used in ARY-c, but woven in a much significantly higher density to increase the sweet spot for an even and explosive ball response.
PBO-c
PBO is a synthetic polymer used in race cars and aeronautics for its durability and high-elasticity. It is used in PBO-c to complement the hard CARBON, creating a larger sweet spot and a softer stroke feeling
Super PBO-c
PBO is a synthetic polymer used in race cars and aeronautics for its durability and high-elasticity. It is used in PBO-c to complement the hard CARBON, creating a larger sweet spot and a softer stroke feeling.
X3
The ground-breaking JOOLA X3 fuses PBO-c and ARY-c into a new super-composite directional weave. Horizontal threads of PBO-c create a larger sweet spot with a softer stroke feeling and touch while vertical threads of ARY-c add both elasticity and power.
