ℹ️ Detailed information about this blade
Medium-fast all-around blade (ALL+)
The MEDIUM SPEED is a hard, direct table tennis blade with medium speed that’s well-suited for both all-around and offensive players.Its
strength lies in precise, direct play at the table. It is particularly appealing to blockers, counter-attackers, and players who rely on their equipment. The hard face veneer works especially well in combination with pimpled rubbers, as it allows for incredibly precise play.
Here's how MEDIUM SPEED works
For this blade, we used hard Koto as the top veneer. This really shines when blocking and counterattacks. You get a stable feel at the point of contact and can place the ball precisely without the blade vibrating excessively. Vibrations are barely noticeable, so the MEDIUM SPEED always feels very smooth, crisp, and precise.
Even with the shooting. The ball contact is very firm, and the power is transferred directly. This allows you to feel every shot with great precision.
In terms of speed, the MEDIUM SPEED falls into the medium-fast range, but that doesn’t mean it’s slow. With a little more physical effort, you can still reach high speeds with the MEDIUM SPEED — but it’s not designed for extremely high speeds. Overall, it plays much more controllably than a classic fast offensive blade.
MEDIUM SPEED is there to support you
MEDIUM SPEED is especially helpful when you want to make your shots short, direct, and precise.
When blocking, you can deliberately play the ball back to slow down your opponent’s pace without it bouncing away uncontrollably. The same goes for counterattacks and shots — here, you can better withstand your opponent’s pressure because you have a clear feel for the ball and can play it back with great control.
This very direct feel is particularly appealing to players who focus on the material. The blade introduces very little unnecessary movement upon ball contact and maintains its precise feel for the ball even when combined with pimples.
Here's what you should look for before buying
The MEDIUM SPEED isn't a particularly soft or responsive all-around blade. We deliberately designed it to feel firm and direct. If you like clear, immediate feedback, you'll love it.
If you're looking for a very lively, responsive blade with a lot of vibration, then the MEDIUM SPEED isn't right for you.
Alternatives to MEDIUM SPEED:
CONTROL: Go with the CONTROL if precision and safety are even more important to you. The MEDIUM SPEED is significantly stiffer and more direct.
VARIOUS OFFENSIVE: This is a better option if, instead of a hard, direct playing style, you place much more emphasis on spin and a more pronounced feel for the blade.
Our Conclusion
The MEDIUM SPEED is the right choice for players who want a hard, stable, and direct all-around blade . Its strengths lie primarily in blocking, counterattacks, smashes, and playing with the rubber. If, on the other hand, you’re looking for a long ball contact time and a blade that generates a lot of spin, you should look elsewhere.
