For many players the JOOLA Badman was the best and most dangerous "untreated" long pimple rubber. After the ban of the "treated" long pimple rubbers JOOLA has remade the badman with the latest Tensor technology.
Our defensive expert and team bronze medal winner of the World Championships 2006 in Bremen, Tatjana Kostromina, thinks that the reloaded version of the JOOLA badman is once again the best defensive long pimple rubber presently available on the market.
With JOOLA badman reloaded it is possible to play extreme chop shots with dangerous wobble effect - relive the experience of treated long pimples!

JOOLA is the specialist for defensive and disturbing rubbers. JOOLA players Chen Weixing, Liu Song and of course Amelie Solja are experts for long pimple and pimple out rubbers. As the frictionless long pimple rubbers are not allowed any longer, the JOOLA experts have extensively tested and developed two alternatives for the market.

The JOOLA ORCA can be controlled slightly easier than the SHARK. The number of long pimples is reduced and the pimples are thicker. Thus blocks and attacking shots are easier to play. JOOLA ORCA is particularly suitable for the aggressive disturbing game at the table.

Olympic participant and Latin American champion Liu Song is the specialist for this playing strategy. “I often play the first chop ball very fast and aggressively at the table or I block before I try to get into the game with forehand topspin balls. For this purpose the JOOLA ORCA is excellent, especially when chopping I can produce a dangerous disturbing effect.”

The JOOLA SHARK is a long pimple disturbing rubber, which has an extremely high number of pimples. There are 3 components that make a good disturbing rubber:

- highest possible length of pimples
- highest possible number of pimples
- thin diameter of pimples

These 3 components must be calculated in such a way to conform ITTF rules and we have succeeded in the development of the JOOLA SHARK to the optimum. Amelie Solja is totally convinced by JOOLA SHARK: „After the ban of frictionless long pimple rubbers the JOOLA SHARK is the best rubber for me that is available at the moment.

Two of the world’s best defensive players, Chen Weixing and Latin American Champion Liu Song rely on the new long pimples rubber OCTOPUS, which has been developed in conjunction with these two defensive artists.

With OCTUPUS you can play extreme chop shots and also add variation by taking the ball early at the table. An extra hard sponge provides extremely awkward effects.
