JOOLA Hugo Calderano ARY-X  Controlled Offensive Blade with Precision and Spin

The JOOLA Hugo Calderano ARY-X is a premium offensive table tennis blade developed for technically skilled players who prioritise precision, spin and consistent placement. Combining innovative carbon-free ARY-x fibre technology with direct Koto outer veneers, this blade delivers a modern offensive performance while retaining a controlled and sensitive playing feel.

Its carefully balanced 5+2-ply construction provides additional stability and an enlarged sweet spot without creating the hard or overly rigid response often associated with traditional carbon blades. The result is a controlled offensive blade that supports accurate topspins, dependable blocking and a varied short game.

Carbon-Free ARY-x Technology

The JOOLA Hugo Calderano ARY-X features innovative ARY-x fibre, a carbon-free composite material designed to create a softer and more controlled ball contact.

Because the ARY-x layers are positioned directly beneath the outer veneers, the blade offers a stable and consistent response across the entire hitting surface. This outer-fibre construction provides clear feedback and sufficient offensive speed while maintaining the touch required for accurate placement and spin variation.

The blade reacts predictably during both passive and active strokes, helping you confidently transition from controlled receives and blocks into offensive topspin play.

Koto Outer Veneers for Direct Feedback

The Koto outer veneers create a crisp and direct ball contact. Compared with softer outer veneers, Koto provides a more immediate response and a clearer connection between the blade, rubber and ball.

This makes the JOOLA Hugo Calderano ARY-X particularly effective during:

• Fast opening topspins.

• Precise counter-topspin rallies.

• Active blocks and counterattacks.

• Accurate placement close to the table.

• Short serves, pushes and controlled receives.

The combination of Koto and ARY-x technology gives the blade a modern and stable character without sacrificing the feedback technically strong players need.
