✦Our expert analysis of this blade's performance characteristics
Joola Rosskopf Allround offers moderate speed, positioned well for controlled attacking play. Our testing shows it provides a good speed ceiling for an allround blade, feeling responsive enough for offensive shots without sacrificing stability. It's not designed for pure power hitting but delivers enough pace for players who build their game on consistency and placement over brute force.
Control is a standout feature of this blade. Its 7-ply construction with soft Limba outer veneers creates a predictable and forgiving platform, making it excellent for precise shot placement, confident blocking, and defensive play. Players report feeling in complete command during rallies, which builds confidence for developing and executing consistent strokes.
The blade provides excellent ball feeling with a soft touch, primarily due to its Limba outer veneers and 7-ply construction. This creates good feedback, enhancing the player's connection with the ball for nuanced control and a comfortable, responsive hitting sensation.
Likely producing a medium-high throw angle, this characteristic is suitable for generating effective spin and clearing the net with confidence. It supports both attacking loops and controlled, spin-oriented defensive shots.
Dwell time is in the medium to medium-high range. The construction, including specific material layers, contributes to good ball contact time, which aids in spin generation and provides better control during looping and brushing strokes.
