Freeze
Joola Vyzaryz Freeze is an offensive table tennis blade that masterfully blends explosive power with exceptional feel and control. Its unique 5-wood + 2 Arylate-Carbon (AL-C) composite structure, enhanced by a cold-curing technique, delivers superior ball dwell time and feedback. The Limba outer plies provide a soft touch and excellent spin generation, making it ideal for players who value precision and spin-oriented attacks. Manufactured in South Korea with globally sourced premium materials, the Vyzaryz Freeze offers a top-tier playing experience for intermediate to advanced players seeking a blade that excels in both power and delicate control.
The 5+2 ply construction features Limba outer plies, AL-C composite layers, and a Kiri core. This combination is designed to provide a hard and powerful feel from the AL-C, while the Limba outer plies and Kiri core contribute to enhanced touch, dwell time, and control, particularly due to the innovative cold-curing process.
TT Sensei Ratings
✦Our expert analysis of this blade's performance characteristics
Vyzaryz Freeze is consistently rated as a fast blade, achieving a 9.0 out of 10 in speed. Its AL-C composite layers, combined with the cold-curing process, allow for powerful shots and excellent acceleration, classifying it as an OFF+ blade suitable for aggressive attacking play.
Despite its high speed, Vyzaryz Freeze offers very good control. The Limba outer plies and cold-curing technology enhance dwell time and provide better feedback, allowing for controlled blocking and precise looping.
Vyzaryz Freeze offers a feel that is softer and more woody than typical ALC blades, often described as having good touch due to the cold-curing process and Limba outer plies. This softer feel contributes to enhanced dwell time and control, especially for spin-oriented shots.
Players note a medium-high throw angle, particularly when looping. This characteristic allows for a good arc on shots, making it effective for clearing the net with spin and adding safety to aggressive topspin plays.
The cold-curing technique and the use of Limba outer plies significantly increase the ball's contact time with the blade, leading to enhanced dwell time. This allows for better spin generation and more controlled looping and counter-looping.
The blade has a good amount of flex, rated around 4.0 out of 10. This moderate flexibility, combined with the ALC layers, contributes to its ability to generate spin and provide feel, while still offering sufficient stiffness for powerful shots.
While AL-C is known for reducing vibration, Vyzaryz Freeze aims for a balance. It has a more dampened feel compared to other stiff ALC blades due to the cold-curing and wood layers, resulting in a medium vibration level that provides clear feedback without being harsh.
Vyzaryz Freeze is consistently praised for its high-quality construction. It is manufactured in South Korea using premium materials, including Japanese composite fibers and Italian handles, reflecting excellent craftsmanship and innovative techniques like cold-curing.
Technology
Joola Vyzaryz Freeze features 'Cold-Cured AL-C' technology, a unique process where the blade is pressed at low temperatures for extended periods after gluing. This method enhances the blade's feel, touch, and dwell time, while maintaining the power and speed typically associated with ALC composites. Additionally, it incorporates Limba outer plies, known for their soft feel and spin-enhancing properties, contributing to the blade's distinct playing characteristics that favor control and spin generation alongside offensive power.

Similar Blades
Butterfly Viscaria
Vyzaryz Freeze is frequently compared to the Butterfly Viscaria, as both are 5+2 ply ALC blades. Our testing shows the Freeze can offer more power and comparable control, with a softer feel and more dwell time due to its Limba outer plies and cold-curing process. The Viscaria remains a benchmark for this construction type.
Xiom 36.5 ALX
Xiom 36.5 ALX is another blade that, like Vyzaryz Freeze, offers a softer, more flexible feel compared to the Viscaria. Both utilize ALC technology but differ in their outer wood plies—Limba for Freeze and Koto for 36.5 ALX—which influences their specific touch and playing characteristics, with the Freeze often noted for its enhanced dwell.
