Pure Wood vs Composite blades

[bzing]

what you need to do is use a stiff 5-ply wooden blade first and loop when you practice then after a while you switch to a composite or a faster wooden blade and you'll control it much better.

5-ply wood blades have more dwell time, having a higher control, spin(depending on the rubber) and forcing you to hit the ball harder if you want a fast ball. For the beginners is perfect.

7-ply wood blades have less dwell time, but those are controllable and will hit the ball faster then a 5-ply wood. Ther are better for the people who knows the strokes well and know how to put strength at the ball.

The composite wood is the hardest blade at the list. They are good for the more advanced players, knowing how to control the ball and having perfect strokes.

If you think a composite wood is too hard and uncontrollable, then switch to a 7-ply wood. Remember: A OFF wooden blade WON'T perform the same as a OFF Composite wood.

All wood v/s Carbon or composite

Dear friends.

I beleive that table tennis started with wood and there was good attack and defence game with more rallys and good to watch hours of play with no time bar.
I would say that weather it is wood or carbon the game of TT is ecellient game to be played .

About your request of choosing carbon or wood .
I suggest that it all depends on your game and specially where your going wrong for example if your poor in receiving or serving effectively.
I you want more spin go for All wood with offensive + to get control. If your speed is less and less penetrative go for carbon or composite with offensive + This should help you.
You can try 7ply all wood for speed and power.
But you should remember that all good companys work to produce good ply for better game and their sale too keep player satisfiction in mind .
Technology gives only advantage over your strong basic.
If you can tell me how good is you topspin i can help you more.

Happy Table tennis

I've been using a Stiga Offensive Wood NCT and am going to buy a new blade soon... I really enjoyed the Stiga Offensive Wood, if you're looking for an all wood blade at a reasonable price, it's the perfect blade

Pure wood all the way. More feel and pairs nicely with chinese rubbers.

You should change it to allwood blade. This is suggested

 

[mahomedy13]

composite if you like light fast blades!

 

[remnantxx]

I believe wood has more give and response while the composite is harder and faster.

Even though I am currently using a carbon composite blade as my main bat, I switch to all wood paddle from time to time. I think wood blades always give me better feeling and touch despite its less power. I think pure wood blade is a bit more flexible and forgiving blade too. If you want more control and spin, the wood blade is your answer, but personally I prefer a killer smash over spin

 

[hurriDfury]

an all wood has the max control. and when your coming from an wood racket and changing to a composite well its a different story with regards to control. but surely your ball will be much faster than when using an all wood.

I actually started playing wit a 7 ply wood and when I switched to my current carbon blade I had more feeling, speed and control lol. The head size was bigger while the weight didn't change. Talking about Donic Bloodwood Senso 7.

wood clipper composite viscaria

 

[dpapask]

try rosewood series

 

[Kevinkorb]

Love the xiom stradivarius! Can't go wrong with that.

 

[Silvilizejsn]

Well you will feel the ball more with an alwood blade and the control will be better but if you are used to carbon it could be hard to adjust to allwood again .... anyways one of the best looping blades Nittaku violin with amazing feel and good speed could do you well

 

[Houdini]

i prefer pure wood, has more feeling

 

[1Ridwan]
