I'd been playing with it for one year. it's a classic hinoki-carbon blade. I didn't like the quality and finishing of the blade. Its performance wasn't stable either.
Butterfly's equivalent, Primorac Carbon is superior.

I have one and it's the same as every other carbon hinoki blade. That being excessive in everything and good at nothing. Waste of time, money and wood.

can you elaborate on the quality and finishing that you didn't like?
 
saw one from a seller here in our place...looks solid to...may be comparable to xiom axelo...sharp on the edges though...

is it comparable to a xiom axelo interms of speed and stiffness?...
 
the pink color handle is distracting though...Big smile

The metal badge on the handle was not glued straight.
The outer ply has different thickness on different areas!
The stiffness was bad. It was like the plies weren't glued properly! 

On the other hand, Primorac Carbon compared to Rossi Force, is like a dream.

I find you a bit too harsh with this blade. I have a sample which is very well finished and plays nicely too. Maybe you got a wrong item, which is also a bad point showing poor quality control, but I can't agree with your overall conclusion. Although I much prefer Joola Rossi Emotion or Wing fast which are also Joola Off Hinoki outer blades, I could play anytime with the force.

thanks for your opinion...i did saw and held a rossi force from a seller here in our place...im quite satisfied with the build, more or less similar with the xiom axelo which i have...haven't tried the rossi force though...can you share your experience with it?

Well, it's an OFF blade, not OFF+ as advertised. Def less powerful and slower than a Schlager carbon. It feels like the center core absorbs incoming energy and restitutes speed with crisp sensation. I agree that sweet spot in rather small. It's a blade for advanced players, not very easy to get along at first. It's stiff and seems hard to slow loop with unless you pair it with T64 which made perfect combo for me. Rather low angle. Head heavy orientated. I particularly enjoyed the blade for hitting and blocking. Powerloops are also a strong asset on this blade. A tool for agressive players who look for better control than speed monsters like Schlager or Primorac carbon but with same charasteristics.

I think Joola makes ok blades..but not the best (I like Chen WeiXing ST).
They make some awesome rubbers imho.

Had this blade before. I just have to say, it stunted the progression of my learning in the sport.  I have full confidence in saying this: "go find a different racket and stay away from the rossi force"
Trust me I am sure there are waaaaaaaaaaay better options out there

It is a decent blade, Just a bit "different" in the handle design.

I would recommend the JOOLA Rossi emotion on the other hand, it has more feel and control overall.

will consider that recommendation bro...been hearing a lot from fellow players here in our place about the emotion blade...read it from the catalog, seems a more controllable offensive blade over the rossi force...
 
by the way, are you a joola sponsored player?
