Table Tennis Blades
A table tennis blade is the wooden core of a custom racket. Blade construction — number of plies, wood species, and composite layers — determines speed, control, and feel. All-wood blades flex on contact for greater dwell time and precision; carbon-composite blades add stiffness and power for attacking play.
