Currently, there are many popular table tennis blades on the market, which are roughly divided into wood and carbon fiber. Today, what is the difference between the various carbon fiber materials commonly found in table tennis blade?
First of all, the modern fast-attack technique of the looping requires high speed and strong spin, which puts forward a comprehensive performance requirement for modern table tennis blades to not only rub the ball sufficiently to create strong spin, but also have enough power and speed to keep the ball hitting fast and attacking power strong.
In the past, most of the pure wood blades, although pure wood blades can meet the above requirements to a certain extent, the material requirements are not only very harsh, but also the instant deformation and recovery ability of the wood fibers when they are impacted by the ball, which is also limited by their respective natural properties. Usually the hardness of the large degree of the sole plate hit the plate speed, but due to the deformation of wood fiber is small, it is difficult to meet the requirements of hitting the ball deeper, not only is not easy to create a strong rotation, but also back to catch the fast arc ball is difficult to control, easy to get off the net; on the contrary, the hardness of the low sole plate hit the ball deeper, it is not easy to create a spin, but due to the deformation of wood fibers, the recovery time is long.
Comprehensive previous situation pure wood blade can not meet the higher requirements of the speed of the ball, although easier to control, but it is difficult to improve the power of attack. Thicker or more layers of the soleplate can maintain more adequate power, but inevitably bulky and feel not sharp enough; on the other hand, thinner plastic layers of the soleplate can maintain lightweight, sharp, but easy to weaken the power and stability of the ball. Therefore, the key to manufacturing high-performance pure wood blade is undoubtedly the screening and matching of materials, regardless of the difficulty of this screening and matching, in terms of the development of the performance of pure wood blade, to make a breakthrough is even more difficult. Especially since October 1, 2000 to play big ball, the ball change, inevitably put forward new requirements on the performance of the blade, so many famous companies in the world in the ITTF rules allow the scope of efforts to develop a new special material base plate in order to exceed the performance of pure wood materials.
So there is a popular carbon fiber blade on our market today, which can effectively overcome some of the shortcomings of the above, and various brands are also one after another, each showing their skills.
1, carbon fiber is characterized by high strength and light weight, compared with other materials when it is impacted by the deformation produced by the smaller, faster recovery. Carbon fiber soleplate with soft wood can not only maintain good control, but also hit the ball with an obvious firm “cool” feeling, fast off the blade, used to hit the ball fast, low arc, strong killing power.
If you like carbon fiber table tennis blade, I recommend the sanweisport Froster, which is almost identical in performance to the BUTTERFLY Viscaria!
- New cold-pressing technology
- Made by KOTO surface, Arylate-Carbon Fibre, and Kiri core
- Fast Arc attack, Best Choice for Middle/Near Stage Player
- Specially Color Scheme designed, aluminum Handle Lens
- Free EVA wear-resistant hard case!
2, aramid fiber is characterized by extreme flexibility and light specific gravity, compared with other materials when it is subjected to the impact of the initial deformation of the largest, but the shortest time needed to return to its original state —- is called high viscoelasticity. Added aramid fiber blade is not only sufficient power elasticity, but also has a particularly prominent soft sense of hitting the ball, used to hit the ball fast, good arc, easy to create spin.
3, joined the carbon fiber and high-strength glass fiber composite materials of the soleplate, a combination of carbon fiber and glass fiber of different properties, so that the soleplate has both carbon plate hitting the “brittle” feeling, but also has a glass fiber plate “through” the ball feeling.
4, High-strength fiberglass is soft and flexible. Matching with hardwood, the base plate has soft feel and outstanding elasticity, which is suitable for modern looping technology.
5, aryl/carbon hybrid fiber is a combination of aryl and carbon fibers with different characteristics, both aryl fibers with high viscoelastic characteristics, soft feel, good feel, but also with carbon fibers, firm, stable, hit off the board faster, hit the ball with obvious soft “power”, very suitable for medium and close to the table of the combination of fast attack and the arc circle It is very suitable for the combination of fast attack and looping.
Understanding these contents, I hope there will be some help when players choose table tennis blade.
