Hi Alex. The joola Overdrive I wanted to buy from Amazon has a Micron 40 041 rubber on one side. Is this similar in performance as what you reviewed here?
I just ordered this bat with red and black rubbers and the photo of the rubbers shows the ITTF logo on the both sides. You stated in your video that your two black rubbers were missing the ITTF logo. Curious.
I think the bat that has black on both sides isn't ITTF compliant because the bat needs to be black on one side and another colour on the other side to meet ITTF rules.
@@penguins0392both red and black rubbers and blade are in fact ITTF approved. Now I've had my Joola Infinity Edge with black and red rubbers for 5 months. I can say it is by far the greatest value paddle I have ever owned or sampled. I am a 1600 level player and my MUCH more expensive match rackets play nearly identical to the Butterfly Viscaria blades with Tenergy 05 rubbers. So my match rackets are considerably more powerful than the Infinity, but that is where the advantage ends. My Infinity Edge has just as good spin and feel, which is very important. My Infinity offers much more control because it is slower. But it is not too slow. And it has many gears of speed as I swing harder. I really enjoy playing with it because it affords me the opportunity to really swing with full motion. Two other players at my club were so impressed with it that they now use it as their regular setup. Bottom line is it's a great paddle for all levels, even beginners. The fact that it has carbon shouldn't dissuade a beginner. And that's because in spite of having carbon, it still has tremendous feel and is not too fast. This makes it the perfect paddle for just about anyone. The only reason I use the other two rackets as my match setups, is because I'm playing against 1700-1900 level players. When I hit with them, I need the advantage of more speed. On the other hand, my consistency is sacrificed a bit. But still I prefer the speed when it comes to playing players who are that much better than me.
Thank you for weighing.

How's your bat now? Were you able to take it to a tournament?

can you replace the rubbers?
I vaguely remember someone reviewing this bat saying that I can replace the rubbers.
