JOOLA Rossi Emotion Table Tennis Blade
The JOOLA Rossi Emotion table tennis blade developed by Germany’s Mr. Table Tennis, Jorg Rosskopf, in person, for attacking players who want to play with a carbon blade for it’s attacking performance, but who also need total security when playing blocking and chopping shots.
The carbon fibre core of the JOOLA Rossi Emotion blade provides an enhanced sweet spot but due to specially selected koto, ayous and hinoki woods, in comparison with other carbon blades the feel is soft, and plays with a relatively high trajectory.
The impact for the user is ultimate precision and is perfect for the controlling topspin player.
The JOOLA Rossi Emotion is ever popular with the Bribar Table Tennis stable of sponsored players.
The Net King –
I was using a five ply wood offensive blade prior to using the emotion. I found it quicker with good control. The feeling is not the same as a all wood blade but it feels soft and the more i use it the more i am able to adjust. Being a carbon mix blade and faster i found it harder to open up with a controlled loop, but again the more i use it i am adjusting. (Carbon mix blades don’t flex as wood making looping harder)
Touch play also requires a period of adjustment.
Conclusion good blade to progress to as one develops the offensive play, BUT don’t expect to adjust overnight 4-5 decent practice sessions min!!!
Speed – Fast but not too fast (using Tenergy 80 Fh & Tenergy 05FX Bh)
Control – Good
Reasonably Light 85g
Recommend – YES – but not for beginners
I tried the Joola Fever (Evolution ELP both sides) last night, i would say quite a bit faster but feels good. Something for me to aim at for the next step up.
Woody –
One of the best blades out there for speed spin and control. Nice soft feel due to Hinoki ply. Top quality blade at great price.
