Calderano Signs with Joola (#139)

[MarekD]

When will be the first tournament that Hugo will participate in, where we would see the first prototype of the new blade.

 

[The0rigina1]

They can bring it back under name Hugo 7 ))
Should be Hugo 5, Hugo 7, Hugo Feeeze and Hugo Trinity

Xylo 7 and the freeze is really good, have them both myself, not sure about the trinity, pretty bad rep in China close to where I live

I had Freeze HRD. Very good blade. I only wish handle was a bit thicker

 

[NextLevel]

Actually if we’re making a wishlist I would love to see a solid 7ply option from Hugo and then a carbon option (i know hal is not technically carbon but you get the point haha). I feel like 7ply all wood market is pretty slim 😬 (besides classics)

Joola Xylo 7 is a solid blade.

I actually have not heard of that one but will check it out!

Extremely lovely blade, loop monster but also has power if you want fast attack

 

[Walalang]

Hope it won't be like with Kao

What happened with Kao?

What happened with Kao?

didn't perform well since moved to Andro and dropped on world rating

You guys I'm really enjoying my Nittaku Acoustic (all wood version) with plain old R7 on both sides and I almost settled on using that for this year but know you tempt me with trying this new blade out EJ in me is kicking in haha

Last year I used Sanwei Fextra 7 and I like the blade but found the handle quality to not be great (I like the handle shape and thickness its just the quality on it), so I'm trying out a few blades and one of them is acoustic. I love it but I do feel like its tad slower then my fextra and I'm just a litttttle bit missing those 2 extra plies. So this might fit the bill.

I do wonder what the difference is between this blade vs joola proline aw7 is?

Xylo 7 has 5 ayous as core, proline aw7 is 3 ayous + 2 kiri, I don't like the change

So you'd recomment xylo 7 over aw7?

Wishlist: Inner alc Blade, one with Limba top ply, one with Koto top ply, Both with Vyzaryz handle shape (viscaria) and headsize. This is what the whole market is still missing and a lot would love to have

Butterfly Innerforce ALC has been around since forever, just saying.

I actually have not heard of that one but will check it out!

there is a reason you haven't heard of it... because no one uses it

Not with viscaria handle… thats the point

I would try a Joola HAL-equivalent blade for sure, but honestly I'm more excited about the apparel! I got a pair of Joola shorts from Global Sports Store on a whim maybe two years ago now and they've turned out to be my favorite pair. They're both more comfortable and more durable than the Butterfly ones I picked up in Japan that all the sponsored players wear, and half the price.

I am low key more excited about more TT focused JOOLA apparel as well

Nothing a little sandpaper can't fix

Vitor Ishiy uses it buddy

So you'd recomment xylo 7 over aw7?

Yup, at least I have actual hands on experience with the xylo and it was great
