Ping Pong Blades

The rubber is the part of the ping pong racket that receives the hit and rebound of the table tennis ball.

The rubbers can be smooth, spiked or antitop.

- Antitop: Very slow table tennis rubbers, which do not give the ball spin but do allow you to control the opponent's attacks and spin by stopping the ball and returning it with a "destabilizing" trajectory for the opponent.

- Pimples IN rubbers: They provide less spin to table tennis ball hits.

 - Pimples: They encourage the homogeneous and direct trajectory in the ball. There are different heights and thicknesses of peaks.

The higher the quality of the rubber, the more effect this part of the ping pong racket has on the hit.

For gluing the rubber of the ping pong bat there are specific glues, free of harmful volatile compounds.

The sponge is the layer between the wood and the rubber of the table tennis racket. Its function is to act as protection for the wood and to add personalisation to the game. The sponge can be chosen according to its thickness and hardness.

• When the sponge is thick and hard, the racket gains more speed and less control.

• A thin sponge will give you a slower game and more control, they are more intended for offensive players.

Blade is a laminated material, whose characteristics are conferred by the number of layers that make it up. The more layers there are, the less flexible the table tennis wood is. In other words, more speed, but less control.

Other blades include layers of carbon fibres, but are recommended for more advanced players.

To get a game that suits our way of holding the ping pong racket, and the type of game we play, it is important to make a good choice of the handle of the ping pong bat.

This handle can be anatomic (AN), which adapts very well to the palm of the player's hand; concave (FL), which is narrower in the middle and the base is wider (it´s the mos popular) or completely straight (ST).

The correct choice of the blade will desired result in terms of speed, spin and control.
