JOOLA Infinity Overdrive Review: Pro Performance for $60?
If the STIGA Pro Carbon is the “classic” speed paddle, the JOOLA Infinity Overdrive is the high-tech challenger. JOOLA has been the official sponsor of the US Open and the Olympics, and they’ve packed that DNA into this 7-ply monster.
The Carbon-Kevlar Difference
While cheap paddles use low-grade plywood, the Overdrive features Carbon-Kevlar layers. This creates a “Trampoline Effect” on the ball while significantly reducing vibrations.
Performance Specs:
- Speed: 100/100
- Spin: 99/100
- Control: 92/100

Built with carbon-kevlar technology and the JOOLA Microsponge for explosive power.
Real Player Perspective: “The Speed is Addictive”
Reddit users traveling to local clubs often report that the Infinity Overdrive is the paddle that makes people stop and ask, “What is that?”
The Dwell Time: One unique feature is the Driver 42 rubber. It’s softer than the STIGA Pro Carbon’s rubber, meaning you can actually “bite” into the ball for Heavy Topspin.
Verdict
- Pros: Elite speed, premium aesthetics (black on both sides), incredible value.
- Cons: Requires a lot of arm speed to use correctly.
- Best Use: The player who is serious about moving from “basement casual” to “club tournament” level.
