OK...I haven't seen any reviews posted of this blade yet so thought I'd go ahead and give my 2 cents worth. I bought the new TPE Feeling blade from JoolaUSA about 3 weeks ago and have been playing with it since. Here are my observations/impressions:

| Good to hear it's a good blade, but why is Megaspin selling it at $160 when it's priced at £55/€65 over here in Europe? |

Hahaha  Acuda Dave - you have paid a way too high price for that Joola blade I think... Thank you for the review, by the way  |

I would ask Joola USA for a partial refund at least. At TT11 it is around 58EUR and at our Joola dealer 48EUR only (excl. shipping). ------------- Life is too short for defensive play. https://twitter.com/spinnier_com" rel="nofollow - https://twitter.com/spinnier_com https://fb.me/spinnier" rel="nofollow - fb.me/spinnier |

they sell everything much higher than in Europe. Rossi Emotion for example they sell for $99. Tim sell it for $50 with free shipping. Joola, Tibhar and Xiom in North America cost much more than in Europe. |

I understand that, but for me 100usd price difference and $160 retail price for ordinary allwood blade made in China is a scam. Cornilleau Hinotec Off is of similar construction (hinoki-limba-kiri vs TPE Feeling hinoki-ayous-kiri) and costs around 35eur. ------------- Life is too short for defensive play. https://twitter.com/spinnier_com" rel="nofollow - https://twitter.com/spinnier_com https://fb.me/spinnier" rel="nofollow - fb.me/spinnier |

Sorry, but nobody from Joola USA called Acuda Dave to buy something from their store. He bought it by himself and his own decision. After all, there are plenty of low cost blades that probably could replace the feeling of this so overpriced Joola blade in USA. The review is "priceless" as all. |

| Is there a video from Joola USA where coach mcaffee explains why this blade is so overpriced? |

True. That's because Acuda Dave trusted Joola USA. However, he has been deluded and had one-time "loss". I do believe Joola USA will loose at least one customer after this.  Check this out: TPE Perform (so called Rossi Emotion successor) costs 134.95usd at Joola USA, compared to 57.85eur with free shipping at Timtts.be and 60eur+shipping at our locar Joola distributor. Import duties? Don't think so. How much will cost TPE Fight as the most expensive TPE model? 200usd? Also keep in mind EUR has depreciated against USD and reached 12 year minimum last week. Man, for a moment I thought Butterfly is honest company despite their business practice, principles and pricing policy. ------------- Life is too short for defensive play. https://twitter.com/spinnier_com" rel="nofollow - https://twitter.com/spinnier_com https://fb.me/spinnier" rel="nofollow - fb.me/spinnier |

AcudaDave has written elsewhere that he does not like deal with discount TT websites which sometimes have long order wait times. Ordering from some European countries also causes issues at US customs so I don't think we should read too much into this. ------------- https://youtu.be/jhO4K_yFhh8?t=115" rel="nofollow - I like putting heavy topspin on the ball...

| I'm still surprised by the prices (I assume) Joola set for the US. I suppose it enjoys a relatively good and quality reputation there. |

Yeah, especially considering the amount of vitriol expressed towards Killerspin for far lesser transgressions ...
