Paddle Design and Technology
There is more to write about in this section compared to most paddles since Joola introduced a couple of new technologies that I want to spend some time on.
Carbon Forged Handle
Joola is the first company to design something like this. Normally a polymer core paddle has the core extended through the handle and then they have a couple of wooden inserts they put on top of the polymer handle that they then wrap a grip over. However, Joola stopped the polymer at the throat of the paddle and connected a carbon handle to the throat. It’s a little tricky to explain so I have this image showing you what the paddle looks like without the grip tape.
