Sting

Joola Sting delivers high speed suitable for offensive play, thanks to its 7-ply all-wood construction. This design provides a firm, direct feel that translates into fast drives and powerful shots, especially when paired with offensive rubbers. Our testing shows it maintains a well-balanced speed profile, offering significant power without becoming uncontrollable, making it effective for aggressive attacks from mid-distance and beyond.

Despite its offensive nature, Joola Sting is consistently praised for its exceptional control. Players report amazing touch in the short game and reliable precision even when executing powerful shots away from the table. This blend allows for versatile play, enabling confident pushes, blocks, and controlled loops, making it a blade that supports both aggressive and tactical points.

Joola Sting delivers a classic Swedish all-wood feel that combines soft, spin-friendly characteristics with the firmness of a 7-ply construction. This medium-hard feel provides solid ball feedback and a direct connection, allowing for powerful shots while retaining enough sensitivity for touch play and spin generation.

The blade's offensive nature and construction promote a medium-high throw angle, which is ideal for generating powerful loops with a good, arcing trajectory. This helps in creating heavy topspin shots that clear the net comfortably and dive onto the table.

The blade offers a medium to long dwell time that helps players put heavy rotation on the ball. This characteristic is key for generating significant spin on loops and serves, while also contributing to the excellent touch and control experienced in short-game situations.

Joola Sting is a relatively stiff blade with limited flexibility due to its 7-ply construction. This stiffness contributes directly to its speed and power, providing a solid, immediate response on ball impact that favors direct hitting and driving over flex-induced catapult effects.

Specific vibration data is limited, but its 7-ply all-wood construction typically results in a moderate level of feedback. Players can expect some vibration through the handle, which can enhance the feeling of ball contact and aid in touch shots without being excessive or distracting.

Joola Sting is noted for its durable construction and high-quality Swedish craftsmanship. Many players find it remains a high-performing blade even after a decade of use, indicating excellent longevity and consistent performance. The classic manufacturing techniques contribute to a reliable product that withstands regular play while maintaining its playing characteristics.
