JUIC is one of the leading Japanese manufacturers of table tennis equipment, producing a wide range of the highest quality products to meet the needs of players of all levels, including some of the best players in the world.

The JUIC brand may not be as well known as some of the other major manufacturers, but it has been in business since 1970 and the quality of its products is among the best in the world. JUIC has also shown true innovation over the years in designing and manufacturing new products, some of which were true technological breakthroughs. This article describes some of JUIC’s important innovations and unique products…

JUIC blades:

Starting in the offensive range of blades, the Air Series balsa blades are lightweight, high-velocity blades that offer outstanding touch and control. JUIC has the widest range of balsa wood blades and uses only the highest quality materials for the production of its blades. Probably the two most famous and prominent in this series are:

JUIC Air Texa, an OFF+ rated racket, weighing in at an impressive 72g and consisting of a thick core ply of balsa combined with two plies of texalium and two plies of Japanese Abachi wood.

JUIC Air-Large, a racket that is basically the new and improved version of the JUIC Air Carbon racket (which has been discontinued). This is also an OFF+ rated blade, weighing in at 75g and consisting of a thick core ply of balsa combined with two plies of carbon fiber and two plies of Japanese Abachi wood. Both blades have an exceptionally smooth feel due to the thick, smooth inner layer of balsa.

Then there is of course the JUIC KISO Hinoki blade, which consists of a single layer of high quality Japanese Kiso Hinoki wood. JUIC is one of the few companies that offers this type of blade with a hand grip. The power and feel of a single ply hinoki can be believed… it offers soft touch and slow speed in the short part of the game, but can generate great power from mid to long distance, and can still generate good swivel for added control.

JUIC also has the exclusive and innovative JUIC Shot series of blades. The JUIC Bamboo Shot Blade and JUIC Maple Shot Blade are unique among all table tennis blade manufacturers (at the time of writing) and offer a unique ball feel not found in any other blade.

For a more complete style of play for both offensive and defensive players, it’s hard to beat the JUIC Texalium blade. This blade offers great touch and feel and is a truly versatile blade. It offers enough power for an offensive style of play, but enough control and feel for a defensive or chopper game. With the correct choice of rubber, this blade can be used for any style of play.

JUIC also offers blades for modern defensive styles, the JUIC Euro Chopper and Euro Cut blades. These are oversized blades with a great soft feel, offering extra touch and range, but with plenty of power for a power loop or to drive the ball away…

JUIC rubbers:

Although JUIC offers a wide range of tires, suitable for all levels and styles, they have some unique and innovative products that set them apart from other manufacturers.

JUIC Couga rubber is almost certainly their most famous rubber. This rubber is without a doubt one of the fastest rubbers in the world, faster than many offensive rubbers even when glued with speed! JUIC was one of the first (if not the first) to introduce Nano-Tech technology in both the topsheet and sponge of the rubber. This technology offers much better grip and a huge boost in speed but also in durability. More recently, JUIC also introduces the JUIC Nano-Cannon, which also uses the same technology, but is designed and optimized to produce a sharp arc in loops, at high speeds.

JUIC also offers a range of high tension sponge rubbers, most notably JUIC Varites and the Driva Smash Ultima rubber. The highly elastic sheet and high tension sponge provide a boost in both spin and speed, ideal for highly offensive style players.

Another great JUIC innovation was combining a sticky Chinese-style top sheet with a soft yet powerful Japanese-style sponge, like JUIC Ultima sponges. The most highly regarded of these rubbers would be the JUIC 999 Elite Ultima, which uses a thin, sticky top layer (based on the Globe 999 top layer design) with the soft and powerful Ultima sponge. This high tension Ultima sponge also comes in a range of short pimple rubbers, most notably the JUIC Offensive Ultima.

More recently, JUIC has added JUIC 999 Elite Nano: the world’s first sticky rubber with nanotechnology sponge!

For defensive playstyles, JUIC offers JUIC Neo Anti and JUIC Leggy Defense. The Neo Anti removes spin and absorbs the power of any incoming attack, but unlike most other anti-spin rubbers, the springy surface of the top sheet and soft sponge still allow you to generate significant spin when you hit the ball. ball with more force… The JUIC Leggy defense is very dangerous and deceptive. The soft, grippy shin combined with a soft sponge are great for table cutting, giving great spin reversal and allowing for highly tricky spin manipulation. The soft, sticky bill also allows you to attack serves and provide good offensive potential near the table.

JUIC accessories:

Although JUIC offers a wide range of table tennis accessories, the most famous by far is the JUIC Ecolo Expander II. This is a rubber treatment liquid, which provides a boost in speed and power to virtually any sponge rubber sheet. Not only is it totally toxic-free, and it won’t be affected by the upcoming VOC-based quick glue ban. The treatment needs to be done only once, the effect lasts for many months, which at higher levels is usually over the life of the rubber. . Now in its second generation, the improved JUIC Ecolo Expander II is a true innovation in table tennis technology, and there is nothing like it on the market today. JUIC Shenron rubber was specifically designed and optimized for use with the Ecolo Expander for maximum speed glue effect. JUIC also provides the full range of cleaners and others that do not contain volatile content and can be shipped safely by air.

This was an overview of the most prominent JUIC products. They have a much wider product range than cutlery, and are sure to have something to suit every style and requirement, and probably at lower prices than their Japanese competitors.
