With an optimal weight around 80g, it offers a direct, solid connection for powerful drives and loops.
A symmetrical 5-ply all-wood construction. Hard Hinoki forms the outer layers for speed and feel, while softer Ayous and Kiri make up the inner plies and core, providing flexibility and contributing to the blade's overall lightness.

✦Our expert analysis of this blade's performance characteristics
The 'Fast' in its name is well-earned. Joola Wing Fast delivers a high level of speed thanks to its all-wood construction with hard Hinoki outer plies and an optimized weight around 80g. It provides a direct feel that translates into powerful drives and smashes, making it a notably fast option among all-wood blades.
Despite its offensive focus, Wing Fast maintains respectable control. The 5-ply construction and the feedback from the Hinoki outer layers allow for good placement and touch shots, particularly when paired with 2.0mm rubbers. However, with maximum thickness rubbers, players not accustomed to very fast blades might find it more challenging to control.
Joola Wing Fast offers a direct and solid feel with minimal vibration. The Hinoki outer plies provide crisp, precise feedback upon contact, creating an immediate connection to the ball. It's not soft or mushy, suiting players who prefer a more defined and responsive touch.
The blade's speed-oriented nature and construction promote a medium-high throw angle, especially on powerful looping shots. This helps players clear the net with both pace and spin, making it effective for aggressive topspin play.
The 5-ply wood construction, particularly the Hinoki outer layers, provides a decent dwell time for an offensive blade. This allows for effective spin generation on serves and loops, though it doesn't match the extended dwell of softer woods or composite materials.
As an offensive all-wood blade, Wing Fast sits on the stiffer side of medium flexibility. It's engineered to transfer power efficiently for fast shots rather than offering significant flex for a catapult effect. This stiffness is key to its speed and direct playing character.
Players report very little vibration with this blade, which contributes to its solid, stable feel and enhances control. This characteristic is likely due to the well-balanced wood construction and the stabilizing effect of the WSI handle technology.
Our testing shows the Joola Wing Fast is a solid, well-constructed blade. It exhibits minimal vibration, contributing to a stable and predictable performance. The use of quality wood veneers and the integrated WSI handle technology reflect good manufacturing standards and a durable build.
Technology
Joola Wing Fast incorporates Wing Shaft Integration (WSI) technology, designed to enhance the connection between the handle and the blade. This integration aims to provide increased stability and a more cohesive, solid feel during play. The handle itself often features layers of Hinoki wood, aerodynamically shaped for comfort. Combined with the 5-ply wood construction, this technology helps deliver the blade's signature combination of good speed and precision with a balanced weight.
