Style analysis
Calderano joined Joola in January 2026 after years at Xiom. His current configuration is the signature Trinity line: Trinity Charged Hugo Calderano (57° sponge) on the forehand for uncompromising power, Trinity Dynamic Hugo Calderano (52.5° sponge) on the backhand for a friendlier release while keeping flagship character. He plays the Hugo Calderano KL-c Inner blade — KL-c (Aramid-Carbon) inner layers with Limba outer veneers, designed specifically to balance the power of Charged with two-winged loop dwell.
