Vyzaryz Hybrid
Joola Vyzaryz Hybrid is a premium, dual-threat table tennis blade engineered for players seeking distinct performance characteristics on each side of the racket. Its unique 5+2 ply construction features alternating PBO-C and Super PBO-C composite layers, designed to provide optimized trajectory and spin for forehand and backhand strokes. The outer Koto veneers offer a crisp feel, enabling dynamic shots and direct touch. Assembled in South Korea with globally sourced materials, this blade represents a commitment to high-quality craftsmanship and innovative design, appealing to offensive players who demand versatility and precision.
The 5+2 ply construction features Koto outer veneers for crispness and direct touch. Inner layers of Limba and Kiri provide a balanced feel, while the core incorporates alternating PBO-C and Super PBO-C composite layers. These distinct composite layers are placed on opposing sides to offer tailored performance characteristics for forehand and backhand strokes.
TT Sensei Ratings
✦Our expert analysis of this blade's performance characteristics
Vyzaryz Hybrid is consistently rated as an extremely fast blade, often described as Off+. This speed is attributed to the PBO-C and Super PBO-C composite layers combined with the hard Koto outer veneers. It excels in delivering powerful strokes, fast blocks, and drives, requiring active engagement from the player to maximize its explosive potential.
While rated very high for speed, Vyzaryz Hybrid also offers commendable control, particularly on the PBO-C side, which is noted for its safety and precision. Players report good control for blocking and driving. However, its inherent speed and stiffness mean that control is highly dependent on player technique and active input, making it more suitable for advanced players.
The blade has a medium-hard to hard feel due to the Koto outer veneers and the PBO-C/Super PBO-C composite layers. This contributes to a direct touch and crisp feedback on ball impact, facilitating powerful shots and quick responses, though some players might find it less forgiving for very soft or delicate shots.
The blade is explicitly designed with different throw angles on each side. The Super PBO-C side is noted for a lower throw angle, ideal for driving shots, while the PBO-C side offers a higher arc, better suited for traditional spin generation. This dual-throw characteristic is a key feature of the blade.
While not characterized by exceptionally long dwell, the combination of Koto outer plies and the nature of PBO-C composites suggests a moderate dwell time. This allows for sufficient ball contact to generate spin, especially when combined with modern rubbers.
Vyzaryz Hybrid is characterized as a stiff blade. This stiffness, stemming from the Koto outer veneers and the dense composite layers, allows for direct power transfer and fast strokes, but reduces overall flexibility, requiring players to generate pace through their own technique.
The PBO-C and Super PBO-C composite layers are engineered to create a larger sweet spot, which typically helps in managing vibrations. While the blade is fast and stiff, it doesn't feel overly jarring, suggesting a controlled level of vibration that provides feedback without being excessive.
As part of JOOLA's Premium Line, Vyzaryz Hybrid emphasizes high-quality materials and meticulous craftsmanship. Sourced materials from Japan and Italy, with assembly in South Korea, contribute to an excellent build quality. Our testing shows the blade's finish and overall construction reflect its premium positioning.
Technology
Joola Vyzaryz Hybrid features a '5+2' ply construction, incorporating PBO-C and Super PBO-C composite layers. PBO-C (Polybenzoxazole) is highlighted for its durability and high elasticity, complementing harder materials to create a larger sweet spot and softer feel. Super PBO-C is a denser weave of the same material, further expanding the sweet spot for enhanced explosive ball response. The outer veneers are made of Koto wood, known for providing a crisp feel for direct and powerful shots. This unique combination aims to offer distinct performance characteristics on each side of the blade, with composite materials sourced from Japan and assembly completed in South Korea.

Similar Blades
Butterfly Viscaria
Vyzaryz Hybrid is often compared to high-end blades like the Viscaria due to its offensive capabilities and composite layers. Both are designed for aggressive play, offering significant speed and spin. However, Vyzaryz Hybrid's unique PBO-C and Super PBO-C composition creates distinct characteristics on each side, which differs from the Viscaria's consistent ALC construction, potentially offering a more specialized dual-threat approach.
Joola Vyzaryz Trinity
Joola Vyzaryz Trinity shares the Vyzaryz series premium construction with composite materials, but utilizes an X3 composite (PBO-C and AL-C weave) rather than the Hybrid's distinct PBO-C/Super PBO-C layers. While both are offensive blades, the Hybrid is specifically designed for differentiated forehand/backhand performance with varied throw angles, whereas the Trinity offers a more unified, high-tech composite feel across the entire blade face.
