Equipment Review
JOOLA Fever Blade
By Larry Hodges, Non-Equipment Junkie but Fever Blade User

When I first became a JOOLA coach, I had to choose which blade and sponge to use. Like any other player, this can be a mind-numbing experience. Fortunately, I had the foresight to ask Tom Nguyen, JOOLA USA's resident equipment junkie, which blades and sponge he'd recommend. He grilled me on my playing style (all-around hitter, looper, third-ball attacker, counter-driver, blocker, topspin defender, sometimes chopper, and pretty much everything else), and then he chose several options. I tried them out, and quickly found the perfect equipment for me: the JOOLA Fever blade with a straight handle, with JOOLA Energy X-tra 2.0 on the forehand, JOOLA Mambo GP 2.0 on the backhand. The two sponges have been reviewed by Tom; I'll focus on the Fever blade.
