Table tennis racket offering great control for all-around players (ALL+)
We designed the Control to offer exceptional control and stability. It’s no coincidence that it’s currently our most popular blade.
It offers tremendous control, allowing you to place every shot with great precision. The combination of lightweight Kiri and relatively hard Limba wood on the outside allows for a particularly sensitive and controlled playing style.
The Control is a true all-rounder and handles all playing situations with ease—whether it's a block, a shot, a push, or a topspin.
Here's How to Play Control
The 0.6 mm-thick Limba outer veneer ensures relatively crisp ball contact. As a result, the ball bounces off the wood in a direct and predictable manner, rather than being catapulted forward.
This predictability is especially helpful when blocking, countering, and flicking: You can accurately gauge the distance and placement, and you always know where the ball is going.
The Control also excels at topspin. It plays with great control, but that doesn’t mean it’s slow—quite the opposite. The speed is sufficient for an active offensive game, and you can build up plenty of pressure.
However, if your game relies on building maximum pressure with several fast topspins in a row, there are more suitable offensive blades for that.
CONTROL is here to help you with that
Above all, CONTROL helps you avoid unnecessary mistakes and gives you confidence. It's quite forgiving of mistakes and helps you improve your technique.
You can place the ball precisely, control the pace well, and handle different game situations with the same blade. This is especially helpful if your game isn't just about topspin, but you switch frequently between push shots, blocks, counterattacks, and your own attacks.
Here's what you should look for before buying
- The CONTROL isn't designed for maximum speed. If you mainly want to win by going fast, it'll probably be too slow for you.
- It plays relatively hard, but it's very clear. If you're looking for a softer blade that has a lot of flex, the Control isn't the right fit for your game.
Our Conclusion
The CONTROL is ideal for players who want to bring more consistency to their game without sacrificing speed. Its strength lies not in maximum speed or spin, but in the fact that it allows you to control the ball with precision and predictability. If you frequently switch between different game situations and enjoy frustrating your opponents, the CONTROL is a blade that will support you well in every situation.

❓FAQ - Häufige Fragen
Is the CONTROL a slow blade?
Not at all. It's not one of the fastest blades, but it has a solid base speed that allows you to play very effectively on the offensive. It's our most versatile blade and is suitable for all techniques. The perfect all-rounder, so to speak.
Is the CONTROL compatible with pimples?
Yes, many players use pimples on the CONTROL. It has a fairly hard top sheet, which gives you clear feedback from the pimples. Many modern defensive players use the CONTROL in size L because it makes it even easier to control.
What is the difference between the CONTROL in the ROOTS and BASIC versions?
The BASIC model comes in blade size M with classic grips in straight or flared styles. The ROOTS version features a large blade in size L. This makes it slightly slower but even easier to control. It also features the special grip made from K3 and K4. This combination fills your entire hand and practically prevents any slipping. Note: Not well-suited for spinning. You’ll either love this grip or hate it ;-)

Reviews by other players
Ich habe das Holz in Größe M und S. Die Verarbeitung beider Hölzer ist sehr gut. Der Griff mit den Schalen K3C und K4C passt für mich optimal. Ich spielte vorher schon Schläger mit konkavem Griff. Allerdings "wanderte" der Schläger in meiner Hand. Mit den Griffschalen K3C und K4C ist das nicht mehr der Fall. Die Schläger Haltung ist immer gleich, was bei mir zu mehr Sicherheit im Spiel geführt hat. Außerdem unterstützt der Griff meine Vorhand. Ich halte den Schläger geschlossener und konnte dadurch meine Trefferquote erhöhen. Dazu muss ich sagen, dass die Vorhandenen meine schwächere Seite ist.
Die Gesamtkontrolle des Holzes ist super und das Holz gleicht bei mir auch unsauber getroffene Schläge aus. Es kommen sehr oft noch Bälle beim Gegner an, welche mit meinem anderen Holz im Netz landeten oder auch weit hinten raus gingen.
Kurz zu meiner Spielstärke um obige Bewertung vielleicht besser einordnen zu können: Spiele Seit ca. 25 Jahren wieder aktiv TT nachdem ich 15 Jahre ausgesetzt hatte. Mein TTR-Wert im BTTV liegt bei ca 1250. Ist also nicht übermäßig Hoch, aber reicht um auch stärkere Spieler bis 1400 zu ärgern.
Zusammenfassend: Sehr gutes, kontrolliertes Holz mit außergewöhnlich guter Verarbeitung.
Da ich in der Nähe wohne habe ich einen Vor-Ort-Termin abgestimmt und wurde sehr freundlich empfangen. Lukas hat sich dann viel Zeit genommen und wir haben dann gemeinsam zuerst den passenden Griff ermittelt und dann das Holz, was am besten zu meinen Spiel passt. Danach konnte ich direkt an der Platte einen Testschläger mit den entsprechenden Belägen testen. Das war natürlich sehr gut und man konnte auch verschiedene Beläge und Hölzer testen. Das hat meine Entscheidung für das Allround-Holz "Control" dann bestätigt. Das Holz wurde innerhalb von einer Woche mit den gewählten Belägen geliefert. Im Paket befanden sich außerdem noch kleine Überraschungen und ein sehr nette Dankeschönkarte von Anna.
Fazit: Supertolle Beratung von Lukas, bester Service und Abwicklung. Gerne wieder und vielen Dank für Alles
Mit der Bewertung habe ich extra etwas gewartet, denn oft spielt sich ein neues Produkt in der "Anfangseuphorie" anders und nach einiger Zeit tritt Ernüchterung ein.
Hier ist es nicht so gewesen. Das Holz hält, was es verspricht und die Beschreibung trifft zu. Es ist kein "Wunderholz", auch spielt man sicher nicht automatisch um Klassen besser.
Aber, es unterstützt mich optimal durch eine wirklich hohe Kontrolle. Das schafft wiederum Vertrauen.
Ich habe die Anschaffung nicht bereut. Bestellt habe ich es mit Blattgröße L und grifflastig. Das ist auch so geliefert worden. Danke dafür. Das Holz ist vom Außenfurnier recht hart, sodass Schüsse recht knackig kommen. Topspin, Schupf ist auch gut möglich. Die Geschwindigkeit entfaltet sich recht linear und nicht katapultig. Das ist sicher die Ursache für die hohe Kontrolle. Alle Spieler, die viel wert auf Kontrolle legen und ein All-Holz suchen, sei dieses Holz ans Herz gelegt.
Moin Moin,
kurz meine Einschätzung zu Holz `CONTROL BASIC `.
Nach 3 Trainingseinheiten sehr positiv.
Wer ein sehr gut verarbeitetes Holz, kontrolloptimiert, aber auch mit genügend Tempo für offensive Aktionen ausgestattet, sucht, ist hier absolut richtig. Für mich spielte auch das rel. geringe Gewicht, unter 80 G;
eine Rolle.
Klare Empfehlung !!
Ich war auf der Suche nach einem passenden Schläger und bin hier fündig geworden. Die Produktbeschreibungen sind sehr hilfreich sowohl bei den Hölzern als auch bei den Belägen.
Habe mir einen kompletten Schläger zusammenbauen lassen und bin mit der Qualität und dem Service sehr zufrieden. Das Paket in dem der Schläger kam war noch zusätzlich verstärkt, um Transportschäden vorzubeugen was sicher sinnvoll ist. Der Versand und Zusammenbau hat schnell geklappt - es wurde lediglich im Weihnachtsgeschäftsstress die Lieferadresse versehentlich gleich der Lieferadresse gesetzt, was aber natürlich der Produktqualität selbt nicht schadet. In meinem Fall war das auch nicht ganz so schlimm und es wurde sich auch bereits entschuldigt und Wiedergutmachung bei Folgebestellungen jeder Art gelobt und auch hier hat der Service sich direkt gekümmert und keine Zeit verstreichen lassen.
Alles in Allem merkt man sowohl von der Online-Präsentation von Soulspin als auch in allen anderen Belangen (kleine Goodies mit im Paket, schnelle und zufriedenstellende Arbeit vom Kundenservice, Versand und Hersteller etc.), dass Tischtennis hier eine Leidenschaft ist, die zum Beruf gemacht wurde. Hier steht man nicht nur als Kunde sondern auch als Spieler/Sportler im Mittelpunkt.
