Zolli Light

Joola Zolli Light is an all-around table tennis blade designed for players who value a lightweight feel with superior control and touch. Developed in collaboration with Zolli Fejer-Konnerth, it maximizes precision for those who rely on placement and variations in speed and spin. Its construction cleverly uses anegree and samba plies around a balsa core to overcome typical balsa drawbacks, delivering excellent feel and dampened vibration. This makes it a consistent and sensitive choice for players seeking a reliable connection to the ball without the weight.

5-Ply Construction

The blade features a symmetrical 5-ply construction with a balsa core. Anegee and samba outer plies are strategically used to enhance feel and control, overcoming typical stiffness and reduced feedback of balsa cores. Special glue also contributes to the overall construction.
