Assembled with top-of-the-line wood and high-quality table tennis rubbers, the new JOOLA Infinity line of professional quality ping pong paddles is designed to take your everyday ping pong game to the next level. The JOOLA Infinity Balance ping pong racket, the first in the series, is assembled with pips-in JOOLA Method 38 table tennis rubber on both sides with a sponge thickness of 2.1mm, providing more spin for offensive players who attack with higher speeds. The JOOLA Infinity Series Balance table tennis racket blade is a 5-ply combination of limbo, kobo, bayous, and kiwi woods, creating a 5.7mm blade thickness. Limbo wood comes from the terminally superb ad tree, which is native to tropical Western Africa and is the classic European topspin wood. Limbo is used as the outer ply in table tennis racquets because it provides a flexible yet hard feeling which allows the player to enhance their top-spin shots. Koto wood has a diffuse-porous end-grain, which makes the wood nimble and stiffer allowing the player to produce faster blocks and rapid counters. Bayous wood is lightweight, firm, and elastic which is why it is the heart Of many all-around table tennis blades. Bayous is quintessential for players that want to keep the ping pong ball in play to wear out their opponents. Kari wood is lightweight, but hard enough to reduce vibrations when the ping pong racket makes contact with the ball. It is considered to be the breath of life For various offensive table tennis paddles. This table tennis racket is the embodiment of how opposite forces obtain tranquility. The combination of these four types of wood provides unparalleled control and exceptional ball handling capabilities. JOOLA has been a leader in table tennis since 1953 and is the official ping pong table sponsor of USA table tennis. Start playing like a champion with equipment made for champions!
