JOOLA Toni Hold White Spot

What a gem! Light and soft blade with incredible feeling and control. You can do anything with it. I play an all round looping game with inverted on both sides (Rakza 7 / Mark V) and I consider this the finest looping blade that I have ever played with. Be honest, are you losing sets because your blade is too slow? I doubt it. Slow down and take control. Read the game and your opponent, and then be grateful that this blade allows you to play any type of game that suits you and not them. My game improved from day 1 with this blade, and I know that playing with it will push me to improve my technique as well. I simply can't recommend this blade enough.

I really like this blade. It is slow and good for a close to the table blocking, chop blocking game with the ability to suddenly turn defence into offence when the chance arises. I have tried spinlord dornenglanz on the backhand which was effective and easy to play with. On the forehand I used an all round reverse rubber and could the ball away nicely. I am looking forward to trying my preferred rubbers red S&T hellfire and black Neubauer Domination. The blade shows enough promise to be worth buying the rubbers to try. My favourite blade is the Joola Chen Defender. But only the old style as I think the new blue handled ones are not as good. This Toni Hold White Spot seems as good and maybe even better. As I say - a good slow blade to take the speed off the opponent's shots as then add it back in when you choose to go on the attack.

One of the best defensive blade

My favourite blade after testing dozens. I also like the Yasaka Sweden Classic, but this has a larger sweet spot. Works well with Globe 999 on the forehand and Yinhe 955 long pips on the backhand.

Love the Joola Toni Hold. Works well against beginner to intermediate players as control is very good. Easy to spin and easy to block close to table. Perhaps not the right blade if playing against very advanced players as speed 2-3M away from the table is difficult to generate. (This blade requires very good footwork and great form if you are away from the table). Toni Hold has the largest sweet spot of all the blades I own, ref (clipper, S all-around, donic-def-senso, mazanof, gerber). I enjoy the blade with Yasaka inverted rubbers, new and old technology. Have fun!
