Energy X-tra (Joola)

Last year we introduced the highly successful JOOLA Energy rubber to the world. Today, we uncover JOOLA's newest Energy Rubber. Introducing JOOLA Energy X-tra! The 37.5° soft sponge with the built in speed glue effect provides for even more spin and speed. It is especially suited for players who put emphasis on stroke control without the need of speed glue.

Green Power – incorporated speed glueing effect

Green Power is a rubber technology, where performance achieved from fresh gluing is already incorporated into the rubber. Bounce, feeling and the sound of fresh gluing are noticeable features of this new product.

Feel the speed gluing effect minus the speed glue!

Over the NA teams tourny in baltimore, my Bryce SPeed FX on my BH kind of ripped while i was regluing, so this is the rubber i chose to use on my BH. though not quite as good as the BSFX, it still helped me play really well.

basically, this is a kind of soft rubber, with very fast shots and spin. My backhand is kind of a "hit the ball extremely fast right when it comes off the table with a small swift stroke with lots of speed and spin" stroke. I found this rubber was very suitable It has good control. It was great for blocking and counterlooping and smashing. I foudn it kind of problematic for looping really underspinny balls, but it was a good countering rubber.

Before trying the Energy xtra, I used Joola Samba nTec glued. The feel of the Xtra is softer and it's way faster than the nTec. When you use speedglue on the Energy Xtra, the sound is very nice, but the rubber lacks control. The rubber becomes a bit too dynamic. This rubber is intended for the topspin attacker.

Hi there! Well, I´ve now changed from a speedglued Hammond X (2 layers) to a non-glue Tensor-sheet and was amazed! Even though I realized through my DIQ (on bh) that it´s possible to have a fair glue-effect without glueing, this rubber offers a topnotch performance. For players like me, meaning reasonable "glueers", this rubber has everything one might need to have. To me it´s the same effect as my Hammond X! Well, the topsheet of this product is thinner and the sponge is little softer, but I felt no lack of response. Good speed combined with a nice spinny surface and very good control. It has a somewhat lower throw, but that´s not meant to be drawback. I´ll keep it and put the glue now to a somewhat safer place, than my sportsbag! Good luck to all of you! I am through with testing for the time beeing.
