Table tennis bats with a very special feel
Basalt – offensive table tennis blade with a lot of feeling
The BASALT BLADE is intended for offensive players who are looking for a blade with a high ground speed, but which still has a soft and well controllable ball strike. It has a very special feel that is difficult to compare with other table tennis bats. The basalt fibers ensure high speed, but at the same time keep the table tennis racket very elastic – as a result, basalt blades are much less stiff than other blades with synthetic fibers and are much easier to control. All in all, the perfect combination of speed and feel for the ball.
