Bois Joola

The JOOLA Hugo Calderano KL-c Inner Table Tennis Blade is a dynamic offensive blade featuring inner-layer KL-c (Aramid-Carbon) composite fibers positioned close to the core, combined with premium Limba outer veneers for exceptional balance of power, control, and feel.

Named after table tennis star Hugo Calderano, this 5+2 ply construction—Limba, Ayous, KL-c, Ayous, KL-c, Ayous, Limba—delivers OFF speed with a medium-soft touch, weighing around 85g, making it ideal for spin-oriented attackers who demand precision in variable topspins, blocks, and mid-distance drives.

KL-c Composite Technology
KL-c is a proprietary hybrid weave of Aramid and carbon fibers, blending carbon's extreme
stiffness for explosive rebound and enlarged sweet spot with Aramid's superior vibration
damping and impact toughness from body armor applications. In the inner position, KL-c sits under additional Ayous and outer plies, which filter initial ball contact for longer dwell time and a "woody" yet powerful response, reducing harsh buzz compared to pure carbon or outer KL-c designs.

Layer Construction Details
This 7-ply setup uses two inner KL-c layers symmetrically around a lightweight Ayous core,
flanked by three Ayous plies for flex and stability, topped by responsive Limba veneers. Limba provides spin-friendly grip and flexibility near the table, while Ayous maintains linear power development without excess weight; the inner KL-c ensures controlled OFF/OFF+ speed that scales with swing intensity.

Playing Characteristics
Players experience a stable, low-vibration feel with consistent rebound across a larger sweet spot, excelling in short game control, counter-topspins, and high-pressure rallies where pure carbon feels brittle. It offers more power than all-wood blades but superior feedback over hard carbon, with Aramid enhancing durability under repeated impacts for long-lasting performance.

Target Player Profile
Best for advanced offensive players who prioritize topspin variability, precision, and placement. The inner KL-c design emphasizes control-oriented OFF play with versatile performance across all distances.
