The Falcon Medium is a 5-ply blade made for control. Its two outer layers are composed of Ayous veneers, while the center layer is Tung-wood, which provides a necessary stiffness for hard, topspin balls.
Veneer: 5 plies Ayous, Ayous, Tungwood
Speed: medium
Control: high/extra high
i have been practice with this blade, especially for defending. i tried to customize the original handle to penhold grip and first feeling is really satisfied and hopefully can be penhold chopper. i want to buy extra for another customize. FH : Dawei 388D-1 and BH : Spectol Blue, like pro beautiful player zhou xin tong. chinese national player.
I'm suprised nobody has reviewed this blade?
I like this blade as I have good contol with it and it balances good in my hand. It's not a powerhouse as I play an AllRound game. build quality (2014) is good and could be finished better (easily fixed with light sanding).
There is some flexibility in this blade, I bought the FL handle for my son and ST for myself. The FL handle has more flexibility and may be due to the narrowing of the grip (FL handles have a curvature).
Tested with Focus III Snipe (FH) and 729 Faster with German sponge, it imparts spin easily. Good control. It fills-up my large hand when I wrap my fingers around the handle. I have been sarching for a handle like this and now have found it!
My ST blade weighed 82g.
Having large hands and wanting an ST blade that I could comfortably grip, I compared the Medium Falcon against: Donic Burn Aratox. and, Stiga Allround Classic. All with ST handles. The dimensions are below:
Joola Medium Eagle (ST):
L= 100mm
W= 31mm (this is wide!)
CS= 31.25mm (a square-ish handle)
Donic Burn Aratox (ST)
L= 102mm
W= 30.25mm
CS= 29.75mm
Stiga AllRound Classic (ST)
L= 101mm
W= 28.50mm
CS= 28.75mm
The Joola Medium Falcon just feels right in my hands with it's square-ish handle. It's medium-light (82g) with good control and moderate speed (mid-distance from table). What's not to like?
