External Review for JOOLA Hugo Calderano KL-c Outer on October 27, 2026

Clean finish. 85 grams. 09c max on both sides. 183 GMs. Koto outer. USATT 1950 ~This blade is basically the same feeling, speed and rebound as ZJK SZLC and LYJSZLC combined but a little crispier, less trampoline feeling on passive blocks but still strong similar to TBALC. Very high pitched tock sound similar other kl c blades but similar speed and bounce to super ZLCs but more feedback and feeling.
Looping: shorter spin oriented stroke required, more speed than spin unless you focus on spinning more. Makes easy to brush loop and loop drive consistently. Opening backspin is a little harder than super ZLCs. Arc is flat but not too much to open with strong and fast shots. Must be focused and use high arc rubber for consistent looping with pace. Very mild dwell with hard sponges rubber. May be easier with thicker softer sponge. Forehand felt more natural than backhand with this blade so far.
Short game- is great when passive but can be very bouncy if you rush or put too much energy into a shot. This blade encourages opening on every point basically. Easy to flip, flick and smash and high serve. Serves take good touch and slow brushing skills and ability to serve fast and spinny is more inviting.
Countering- just keep racket behind the ball and itll go back quick. Needs some form of active block (just a push into table block) or counter block. Easy to wait and hit the ball meters off the table.
Overall- fast, rewards fast blockers on table or counter drivers and anyone who wants speed but likes to brush a lot. A player that would do well with this blade or fits them well is a player similar or like Liam Pitchford and/or Sora Matsushima.
