The weight/mass of a tt ball doesn't change. However, the force of impact does as a function of mainly relative impact speed but there are some other factors.
So what is the force of impact if the ball hits the paddle with a relative speed of 10 m/s?
Some assumptions are necessary, state them.
The answer will surprise you.
Many people make a big deal about the flex or vibration of a paddle/blade. How much can a TT ball impact bend a blade. I have a high speed video of a TT ball hitting my toxic 5 and it wobbles visibly a lot but my Firewall+ doesn't seem to notice the impact or the vibrations are so small that it effectively makes no difference.
