JOOLA Maxxx 500

Used FH with max thickness. Fast and spinny, good for close to table plays. Not good for variable situations and passive plays you have to think attacking all the time. Mine was not that durable, in about 3 weeks with light training sides of the rubber started to rip.

Impressive rubber . Insane control in short game . More power you put in the sponge , more control you get in your stroke , give some spinny stroke. Even on plastic ball ... Good feeling. It linear , not too much catapult . Block is easy. If You boost it ( sponge will be springy , you will lost a little be your short game ) If you like high throw / hard rubber maybe this is the cons. Quite easy handling . For average player and advance . If you like Chinese rubber don.t boost it ... I will change your gameplay in short game , will be too springy .

I was wanting to get a Maxxx-P and Maxxx-400 combo, but found this rubber and decided to try it out pairing it up with Mark V and Ma Lin Hard Carbon. You can use it on FH and Bh, but I use it on BH. This rubber, however does take a while to adjust to. Overall I love this rubber!

In my search a replacement for Tenergy 05 due to its extreme speed, I tried Joola Maxxx 500 because it is on sale on megaspin.net. And I am very lucky to find this rubber ( not so lucky with Nittaku P1, Tibhar MX-P, or Donic Z1). Maxxx 500 is very fast, spinny, controlable, and has very high throw angle that help loop heavy underspined easily. I paired Maxxx500 black max for FH, and 2.0 red BH with BTY Viscaria, Yasaka Goiabao 5, BTY super Zhang Jike, and Stiga Rosewood XO, and I like the Rosewood XO+ Joola Maxxx 500 most. Compared to BTY T05, Maxxx 500 is less bouncy, same spin, more control, and higher throw angle ( contradicted to other reviewers who say T05 has higher throw angle)

This rubber is really good for forehand! But I have to say that the rates about its weight and hardness is definitely inaccurate!!! First, this rubber's weight is very similar to XIOM Omega V Tour and Pro, the max of it might be 46-48g cut on a shakehand blade! But here the weight rating is 6.2, far more than Omega V Tour's 5.0 and Pro's 5.3! Second, the hardness is 50 degree printed on the package, a little harder than Rhyzm's 48 degree, and maxxx 500 feels not as hard as a hardness rating of 8.1, quite similar to XIOM Sigma II pro or Omega IV Pro! the rating is ridiculous.
