JOOLA USA

The Wing Fast is one of the newest blades from Joola, and has a faster and harder feel to compensate for the speed glue ban.  I tried it after the recent Junior Olympics and loved its bounce and feeling.  Now even though I use Mambo C, which has no built in glue effect, I feel that my blade/sponge combination is beneficial to my game.  For those players who prefer a slower blade witheven more control, I would recommend the Wing Medium.  These blades also have an awesome Hinoki handle that feels comfortable with no sanding required.

Last week I participated in the Chen Weixing Training Camp, where he and Tanja Hain-Hoffman were the main coaches.  I really liked how these camps were run, because everybody got to work with the coaches and we learned some new techniques and strategies that have developed recently.  Learning how the modern game is played as well as how to adjust to the new equipment laws (most notablythe ban on glue) is a major plus towards improving your game.

Now its off to the U.S. Open. Hope to see many of you there.
