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.
