In this edition of 5 Things, it’s JOOLA honeycomb vs. JOOLA foam, and the only winner in this battle is the player, because matching your individual play style to the right paddle is a key element in unlocking and eventually mastering your game.

Before we get started, let’s briefly look at what makes each paddle’s core construction different. The honeycomb core paddles, like those in the Pro V and Pro IV collection, use a polymer honeycomb structure, the traditional build most players know.

The POWER FX replaces that structure with a foam Core, changing how the paddle responds on contact. The result is a unique-feeling foam paddle that lets you generate more offensive power when attacking.  

The JOOLA POWER FX offers a different feel on the court, and a fresh look with the Mischief colorway. Its foam Core gives players another option to consider when choosing between foam Core and Honeycomb Core paddles.

Honeycomb Core vs. FOAM Core
Ladies and gentlemen, paddles up! In one corner, the proven veteran: JOOLA’s Honeycomb Core. Battle-tested, trusted by players, and known for its familiar blend of power, control, and consistency. And in the opposite corner, the exciting newcomer: JOOLA’s foam Core. Unconventional, explosive, and ready to challenge expectations with a feel all its own.

At the end of the match, neither core claims a universal victory, the right paddle comes down to the feel and response that best fit your game. If you thrive on a stiff, crisp feel, high feedback, and effortless power for explosive counters, quick attacks, and decisive put-aways, the JOOLA POWER FX may be your winning match. Shop Now.
