Just wanted to know what exactly are the carbon blades and which is the rubber which will suit my playing style. I generally play a more attacking rally so I need a faster racket.

Hi Shubham,

You don't necessarily need a carbon blade.  You can use faster rubbers with a controlled blade or an offensive blade and get a lot of speed.

I don't have specifics, but others may have some ideas.

Carbon blade are blades which have at least one carbon ply which provide blade a stability, stiffness, hardness and large sweet spot. If you have just started the table tennis don't go for carbon blade because they are hard to handle.

If you are intermediate player then you can play with them.

Their are many Carbon Blades, it depend on your budget and playing technique which one you should took.

"Carbon blades" differ from regular "all wood" blade by an addional thin layer of carbon fibre between two layers of wood (usually just behind the external layer). The carbon layer tends to make the blade a bit stiffer and faster, and it reduces the difference in reaction when the ball hits the center of the bat (sweat spot) and when it's off-centered. The larger the carbon layer is, the more these differences will show. You can find some blades with the exact same wood composition, one version with a carbon layer, one without.

For a basic offensive carbon blade, you can try the joola carbon blade, worth Rs.1800/- I use the joola falcon sat blade which is also an offensive blade and is quite handy. Both of them are 7 plies-blades.

Hi Shubham,

It really is a personal preference. There is no single best rubber otherwise all players would be using it. What rubber are you using at the moment and do you find it effective?
