  1. Are all ALC blades the same?

    There are a number of factors which make blades different, even if they have the same composition. As you know in table tennis even tiny differences in equipment can make it feel very different. The other things to consider are where the wood and fiber is sourced from, the production processes...
  2. WTT Star Contender São José dos Campos 2026 July 21-26

    Definitely moved, although I don't know if anyone would've noticed it in the heat of the moment honestly. I guess we will never know! :)

    We had a blade called the Hybrid which had pbo-c (zlc) and super pbo-c on opposite sides, but it didn't really do so well in the market so it was discontinued. If blades don't take off and get a good pick up it's hard to keep them going because the suppliers require fairly high minimum orders to...

    Just checked, I see that's on Germany's website, will get them to fix that thanks for spotting. It's coming back as part of a new blade series in 2027 Q1 hopefully at a nice retail price :)
  6. Your Form; wins and learning experiences.

    I was working in a table tennis stadium at the time so I was spending more time on the table. I did a couple of sessions one on one per week with a korean coach, as well as a couple of group practices, one league night per week and 1-2 other practices with training partners. Basically the kind...
  7. Your Form; wins and learning experiences.

    Lifting weights. I did crossfit 3 times a week when I was in my early 20s and my training stamina and capacity, including to be able to do much longer footwork movements, greatly improved. This gives you the ability to hugely increase your skills as a training partner, and opens up more doors to...
  8. New Butterfly Rubber: Proudo44 P.I. (프라우드44 P.I.)

    44mm is 'large ball' table tennis, there are actually around 10,000 competitive players just in large ball competition in Japan - it's very popular. There are also some events in Korea, but outside of those two countries it's not really established.

    The Ary-c is the inner carbon, the Ary-x is the non carbon composite weave. These two blades are effectively the two styles of blades that Hugo liked and wanted to sample, so we made upwards of about 40 blade samples across both styles and these are the two that he chose that felt best to him
  10. United States Smash 2026, Los Angeles, 6/26-7/5

    Sorry for delay. I made a number of changes to the table after last year’s event, yes. There were no complaints from players this year which was very positive compared to last year. Even Sun Yingsha said it was much better haha. The showcourt tables typically don’t retail but the ones that are...

    I think Joola Brasil should be there in some capacity 😇
  12. Calderano Signs with Joola (#139)

    They are planned to launch July 22nd. They are currently out of production and being packaged. The production time is quite long and while Hugo was making up his mind about what to use we had to wait for his decision, so it set the timeline a little later :)
  13. How table tennis rubbers actually work?

    I think it's a brilliant video, definitely has some different perspectives and is interesting for me from the equipment brand marketing side too.

    Welcome back to the game! :)

    I just got it and have tried it once so far for about an hour. Unfortunately the tripod in the kit did not fit with a JOOLA square net post. They have a new adjustable one they are going to send me which is nice of them :D I did also buy a new tripod anyway so that I could get the camera...
  16. Joola Hugo KL-C inner rubbers

    Market compassion? 🤣 first time I’ve heard that phrase before. The first run was a short run, sold out quite fast in most places. We will see when we get more in stock
