Light or Heavy Table Tennis Blade – Which One Is Right for You?

Choosing the right table tennis blade weight can significantly impact your performance on the table. Whether you’re a beginner or a competitive player, understanding the difference between a light blade and a heavy blade can help you unlock your full potential.

Light Blades – Speed and Agility

Light blades, typically under 85g, offer fast reaction speed and superior maneuverability. They’re perfect for close-to-the-table players who rely on quick attacks, fast blocks, and flicks.

✅ Advantages:

  • Faster swing speed

  • Easier wrist action

  • Ideal for fast-paced rallies and close-table control

⚠️ Things to Consider:

  • May lack power for long-distance rallies

  • Less stable against heavy topspin shots

Recommended Light Blade: [SANWEI Feather Carbon]
Engineered for lightning-fast speed and agility, the Feather Carbon blade is a top choice for players who value quick response and easy control.

 

This Blade only 65~75g, very light!

Heavy Blades – Power and Stability

Heavy blades, typically over 90g, provide more mass behind your shots, resulting in greater power and stability, especially in mid-to-long-distance play.

✅ Advantages:

  • More powerful shots due to added inertia

  • Stable and consistent during rallies

  • Helps develop full-arm swing techniques

⚠️ Things to Consider:

  • Slower recovery time

  • May cause fatigue in long matches if you lack strength

Recommended Heavy Blade: [SANWEI Froster ALC Blade]
If you need a blade that delivers solid power with every stroke, the Froster is designed to support explosive forehand loops and solid defense from all distances.
