Chen Weixing blade
|
High
quality defensive blades have always been a strength of JOOLA. Now in
conjunction with Chen Weixing, world ranked 14, a new blade is launched
which is designed for the modern defensive player. It is fast enough to
play powerful topspin shots but still with control for chop play. This
is achieved by a special twin black/cloth layer between the koto and
kiri plys.
The artist, Chen Weixing is totally enthused with this new JOOLA blade.
"I can safely play strong forehand loop shots from half distance with
great feeling and high speed but at the same time play secure backhand
chops at the necessary length to force my opponent into mistakes."
Veneers: Limba, Koto, Black-Cloth, Kiri
Type: DEF+
Speed: 75
Control: 99
Bending Resistance: 95
Weight: 85g

Joola Chen Weixing blade review: |
The Chen Weixing blade is named after one of the greatest
chopper/loopers in the game today. Former Chinese Team Member Chen
Weixing is known both for his legendary defense and for his looping
attack. This style of play requires a defensive blade with great control
for chopping, and yet faster then a typical defensive blade. The blade
is approximately 90grams, and composed of Limba, Koto, Black-Cloth, &
Kiri.
With the larger head, it gives you lots and lots of surface area for
your chopping game. It also is very good for pick-hitting. The
Black-Cloth Layers contribute to the extra control. In terms of speed, I
would categorize this blade as Medium, which for a defensive blade, is
fast.
So if you are trying to modernize your defensive game, this is perfect
blade for you! Tom Nguyen
This is an excellent blade. It is slower than an
allround but not by much and has much greater control. I've got Drum CWX
2mm on forehand and 729FX soft 1.3mm backhand. Fantastic to loop with
using the Drum and high control using 729. It has great speed when
needed and smashing is no problem.The blade head is oversized so could
be heavy if you put thick rubbers both sides.I highly recommend this
blade for allround play with attitude. SimonTT |
