Tensor long pimple rubber with exceptional control. Amazing unique and stable performance by tensor

New standard for long pimples rubbers. The long Pimpled rubber is characterized by ball variation made from its thin, long soft pimples. However the downsides are low stability and less control. Tensor technology and perfect cylinder shape of the long pimple minimized side effects and maximized benefits.

Drastic Variation and a fatal drop shot will increase your offensive capability. Recomended for modern defensive players who want stabilty in their backhand cut defense.

For many players the JOOLA Badman was the best and most dangerous untreated long pimple rubber. After the treated long pimple rubbers are no longer permitted, JOOLA has introduced the tensor Badman again with the latest technology. 

Our defense expert and team bronze medal winner of the 2006 World Cup in Bremen, Tatyana Kostromina, keeps the reloaded version of the Badman again for the best defensive long pimple rubber that is currently to get on the market. The Badman reloaded, it is possible to play extreme backspin balls, which also received a dangerous flutter.

Two of the world’s best defensive players, Chen Weixing and Latin American Champion Liu Song rely on the new long pimples rubber OCTOPUS, which has been developed in conjunction with these two defensive artists.

With OCTUPUS you can play extreme chop shots and also add variation by taking the ball early at the table. An extra hard sponge provides extremely awkward effects for your opponent.

Innovative topspin weapon by “QUAD” technology
Ideal balance for modern offensive players

ZETRO QUAD is a blade for topspin. Aiming of ZETRO QUAD is purely the improvement of the ability of topspin. “QUAD” means our innovative technology of using four layers of artificial materials sophisticatedly. Zylon fiber which directly placed under top layers increases the ability of grabbing ball. Soft carbon fiber under middle layers adjusts overall performance, and at the same time reduces the unnatural feel which is the shortcoming of Zylon fiber. Top layer of selected KISO HINOKI guarantees comfortable feel. The result is great ability of topspin. Making heavy topspin is effortless, and even secure. Players will always be able to take initiative of their game by effective preparatory topspin attack, and keep it by continuous topspin from any distance.

SUPER COMBINATION OF POWER AND STABILITY
