Express Two (Joola)

The Green Power technology developed by JOOLA takes off! The integral power developed for the Energy rubbers, which provides excellent speed glueing effect, has been further improved. JOOLA express is the rubber for the top player who needs 100% spin and speed. For all former speed gluers the JOOLA express is an absolute must! No glueing before the game but still the full power of the speed glueing effect is still included in the rubber, as well as in the price!

The soft version (42.5°) of the JOOLA express suits players, who demand precise topspin and backspin strokes, without losing the power of JOOLA express in open play.

One of the best tensor rubbers I've used, quite easy to play with and not difficult to impart a large amount of spin with. Gives a fairly high loop but maybe not suited to close to the table play as pushing isn't always easy and goes over high often but improves if you get used to the rubber. I can't really say anything wrong about this rubber as it's also very durable and the amount of spin doesn't seem to drop through use. If you want something easier to play closer to the table with Express One is more suited as it gives more paces from blocks and is easier to push with due to the hardness.

Proof of this rubbers capabilities is the ability for me to take an 11-5 game of a top 20 UK player by him not being able to cope with the spin and pace, but as I'm barely top 500 so I couldn't keep it up!

The Joola Express Two is probably the top of the tensor rubbers that Joola has come out with. To me, this rubber is pretty good, it has very solid offensive qualities that any looper would like.

It has pretty good speed, spin, control, etc. The throw angle is not too high, not too low. Very normal feeling rubber. The hardness is average as well, may about as hard as Bty Bryce Speed. Therefore, you get a pretty good rubber that combines all different characteristics.

i found it very easy and comfortable to loop with the rubber. With great control and spin, it is not hard at all to loop even the most underspinny shots.

Definitely might want to try it out if you have not yet.
