Always looking for the fastest setup that has a good feel while not being too heavy.

Xiom Hayabusa ZXi is the fastest blade I've yet tried-- till now.

Tried this combo last week and its faster!

Joolal Falcon fast plus----- with Rasant BLACK Turbo on the forehand.

Joola Energy RED Extra on the backhand.

Forehand is just crazy fast with the Rasant Turbo-- fastest combo I've ever tried-- period.

Arc is medium,low on the flat drives.

On the backhand the Joola Energy Extra -- a medium soft rubber is much slower but still quite quick.

The blade has the hard,brittle feel I like.

It's 5-7mm wider than standard. There are 3 Falcon blades,its the fast plus one.

Going to buy this combo ASAP! Must try.

Not sure i play any better with it-- just love the feel of hitting big drives on the forehand with it.

Gotta love a crazy fast setup Mac

Always a downside to everything.

You need real good touch to use this thing!

Especially when your opponent gets in with the first powerful attack.

Actually its not so much that- more when my opponent gets in with the first attack that has exceptional spin - the Andro Rasant Turbo on my forehand is so,so sensitive.

I hardly touch the ball and it goes off the end of the table.

Need to improve my touch a lot.

Not sure I'm good enough to be using this bat but its very enjoyable to use all the same!

Another player borrowed it,but after one game said its too fast to control.

Never played with booster but guessing it feels a bit like that.

I assume you have used the JOOLA KOOL! and R*1?

The R1 is fast, but not THAT fast. Similar speed to my Gergely. Its not CRAZY fast.

I have a love hate relationship with this bat.

Other night I was finding it on the heavy side for backhand flicking / looping with - and playing bad too.

Today it did not feel heavy - and playing well with it.

Actually its approx 185g so its not heavy - just a bit head heavy in feel.

Have come to the conclusion it's not the rubber or bat that makes it so fast....

It's the combo of the Joola Energy Extra with the Rasant Turbo.

Today I took the Joola Energy Extra off and replaced it with a new sheet of Coppa Turbo.

My backhand with the Coppa Turbo was a little faster - but on the forehand my crazy fast Rasant Turbo

was now only standard off plus in speed.

I don't understand it! Anyway,that was 40 dollars I will not see again.

Going to buy both rubbers and try them on my Stiga Emerald and see if I can get the same speed effect - which I strongly doubt. If it doesn't work will buy the Joola blade as well.

Interestingly,a few others have borrowed this crazy fast bat - and their reactions are bewilderment!
