General Blade Information We show you the value of speed and spin to indicate the nature of the blade or rubber.

The control factor is only a guide relative to each player’s feel.

Usually one of the first questions a player will ask is, “How much control does this rubber or blade have?” A good question!

Because, who wants to hit a ball uncontrolled? But, this question cannot be answered objectively. Control cannot be measured. It is an expression of the individual ball feeling of each player.

A rubber that gives you optimum control can be uncontrollable for your doubles partner… why?

Each player has different ball feeling since everybody has different sense of touch. The more sensors a hand’s skin has, the more sensitive it is and the better it feels the ball when it is hit.

This capability to feel the ball increases naturally the more you practice.

A professional player who practices 30 hours a week has quite a different ball feeling than a hobby player who trains one hour a week.

Every player has different technique. One makes much use of his wrist to hit a ball (the so-called man with the “golden hand”), the other plays almost without any wrist movement. One plays topspin with a short arm swing, the other a long swing, etc., etc.

Everyone holds his racket in a different way. This is not about shakehand or penhold grip but about the different way you can hold the bat. Both grips have numerous varieties which influence the feeling of the ball and have advantages and disadvantages depending on the strokes you play.

Each player defines control differently. For one, control means ball placement in a short chop stroke; for the other a safe topspin stroke means a correct return of a service.

CONTROL:

BLADE:

Cannot really be measured but to help you to make a decision remember - the higher speed and spin values are, the more difficult it is for you to control the ball in placement, adjustment of speed and spin, and the flying height of returns.

The blade must be at least 85% wood. The rest of the material could be carbon, glass fibre, kevlar etc but the thickness of these man-made materials should not normally exceed 0.35mm.

Your ability to control fast and spinny rubbers will increase, of course, in proportion to the quantity of your training and matches. (This explains why top players can still control the ball with an OFF+ blade and speedglued offensive rubbers of maximum sponge thickness.)

Particularly lightweight soft wood, used on the inner structure of the blade, with a hard outer surface making a fast lightweight blade.

SPIN: It is important to play the ball on the most effective part of the blade, which is the outer area, to achieve maximum spin. The ply should be medium to soft. It is more difficult to spin the ball with a hard ply.

GRIP: The style of handle is an individual choice and it is advisable to try out the different styles. There are several important aspects to consider when choosing the handle - e.g. the length width and size of the handle needs to be matched to the size of the hand. A good grip adopted at the outset will assist in developing a sound playing technique. You can choose from the shapes below.

BALSA:

KEVLAR: Man-made material is high in durability, low in weight and strengthens the blade. As with other man-made fibres it enlarges the sweet spot increasing control.

GLASSFIBRE: High quality man-made material, giving a similar performance to carbon fibre, enlarging the sweet spot, producing good control.

CARBON: Carbon fibre man-made material strengthens the blade with a layer of carbon, usually between the top and second layers of ply on either side of the blade, enlarging the ‘sweet spot’ and increasing ball control.

WEIGHT: The weight of blades ranges between 60g and 100g with 85g being the most popular.

BLADES The Nostalgic series is handmade quality from Sweden and innovative thinking with classic design, just the way we want to cherish our legacy of building world champions since 1944.

Clipper Wood

No other STIGA blades in history have made a bigger impact on the market or sold more copies then these three blades.

The two 5-ply blades Allround Classic and Offensive Classic are he basis of the Nostalgic Allround and Nostalgic Offensive.

The 7-ply Clipper Wood and its features is the basis for the Nostalgic VII. Wenge Wood...

The truly unique feature of these blades is the allnatural Wenge wood used as outer veneer and on the handles.

This is the first time in our history that we’ve worked with Wenge material as an outer veneer. Thanks to the combination of innovative machinery, human proficiency and years of development and testing, we feel comfortable including this material in the long list of high quality woods used in STIGA blades.

Thanks to the hard, yet elastic dimensionally stable properties of Wenge wood, the blades gets the boost in speed which its predecessors lacked.

The handles also consist of solid Wenge wood, creating a firm and stable feeling in your hand while hitting the ball.

General Rubber Information Remember control is relative to a player’s feel. This can be improved with practice and experience of match play.

It is difficult to measure control as individual factors can change respective estimates. Control is dependent of speed of blade and rubber.

Also hardness and thickness of sponge. Generally the thicker the sponge the lower the degree of ball control.

Rubber care: Inverted rubber needs regular cleaning and protection from light, particularly UV light, also humidity and extreme temperatures.

Deterioration: Rubbers need to be replaced before grippiness and elasticity are lost through deterioration, resulting in the loss of speed and in particular, spin. To be effective in training and competition it is important that the rubber is always in pristine condition.

Rubber cleaner: It is advisable to use waterbased or alcohol based sprays to remove dirt and grime. This will prolong the life span of the rubber. Dirt particles have an effect on the ball contact and amount of grip on the playing surface of the rubber.

1.1 - 1.3mm for defensive (DEF) to passively all-round players (ALL-) 1.5 - 1.7mm for actively all-round players (ALL/ALL+) 1.9 - 2.1mm - max for offensive players with all variations of speed and spin (OFF-, OFF, OFF+)

Thickness: The types and thickness of sponge are specifically designed for different types of games and their selection is an important factor.

The sponge thickness ranges from 0.5mm to 2.5mm.

P46 | Thorntons www.thorntonstabletennis.co.uk 0161 761 6608

Speed and spin increases with the thickness of the sponge, but the control decreases.

Sponge thicknesses of 1.9mm - 2.5mm require increased training to maintain good control. Soft sponge enhances control and helps increase spin.

Speed glue: The effect of speed glue is to increase both spin and speed without losing too much control. When using glue it is important to use a blade sealant (varnish) to protect it from splintering and prevent the glue seeping into the blade. The glue is applied to both blade and sponge before play, with at least two coats on the sponge, more coats can be applied, but this is an individual choice. The more coats applied, the higher the performance. The effect of the glue is to expand the sponge increasing its elasticity but reducing control.

Charlotte Bardsley Junior Number One and National Champion.

Uses Carbonado 145 and Mantra Rubber MORE ONLINE

Anti spin: Pimple in rubber. The playing surface has very little grip and is very slow with little or no elasticity in the sponge e.g. Toni Hold (Austria) this is used as a combination rubber with a disruptive effect when playing away from the table and is less effective when blocking or counter hitting.

The classic anti spin characteristics are little or no sponge, elasticity, energy absorbent sponge producing minimum amount of spin.

However such as Stiga Energy Absorber have faster sponges causing problems to opponents Medium pimple: Pimples 1 .2mm - 1 .6mm long. Less of a threat and not so training intensive as long pimples.

The disruptive effect is relatively small. Gives good control with a low trajectory return, but with minimum spin.

Long pimples: These are suitable for defensive and allround players. The long pimples are between 1.6mm and 1.8mm. in length and can be with or without sponge.

The thin flexible pimples are the most effective, but are inclined to break off if they are not played face on!

The pimples will give unpredictable playing qualities. These will be dependent to a great extent upon the amount of spin and speed on the ball received and also on the angle of the bat when playing the ball. The effect will produce an unpredictable return with irregular flight paths making it difficult for the attacking opponent.

This type of rubber needs a great deal of training time if you wish to be successful and obtain maximum effect.

Long pimples are ideal for combination bat players who will have a grippy pimplein rubber on one side of the bat and long pimple-out on the other – introducing a guessing game for the opponent.

MORE ONLINE

Pimples out: Short pimples approx 1.0mm long give a very direct ball rebound with a short ball contact time producing a minimal amount of spin. This is an ideal rubber for players who block and counter hit. It is also good for controlling the opponent’s spin. This rubber is frequently used on the backhand side of the bat.

Pimples no sponge: Short (approx. 1.0mm long) pimple out – without sponge. The playing characteristics are a passive rubber – with very good ball control but low speed and spin possible making it difficult to give variation in stroke play.

Pimples in: Is the most versatile rubber giving the largest variation in speed and spin - from the high grippy and speed reduction of the defensive rubber to the high elasticity, spin dynamic offensive rubber covering the whole spectrum in modern table tennis.

The characteristics for the pimples in rubber are achieved through various rubber mixtures -e.g. different Indian rubber types and processing – i.e. varying temperatures, supplementary materials etc, making pimples in rubber the most effective available.

Rubber choice Choosing the correct rubber speed is vitally important for the development of your game. Too many young players play with fast rubbers well beyond their control.

Developing feel in the early years is vitally important in development. And remember - fastest is not always best in learning the all round skill of table tennis.

The STIGA Optimum 30mm £1099

Compact Storage System The table halves are stored folded into each other, thus reducing drastically the space required.

●

The height of the table is only 155 cm.

●

Each table leaf has its own wheeled base, which means the table is easier to handle.

●

Packaged in double cartons wt 142kgs.

●

The Optimum 30 is the first table with a 30 mm thick top. As a consequence, the evenness and consistency of the ball rebound is unparalleled.

The top is pre-treated multiple times and then coated with a special varnish to give just the right amount of gloss and the ideal frictional coefficient. The result is the truest possible bounce, even when balls are spun at the highest level. The white lines are carefully printed on using silk screening for an even result.

The Optimum 30 features a new metal undercarriage that has been specially developed to guarantee the most consistent P130 | Thorntons www.thorntonstabletennis.co.uk 0161 761 6608

ball rebound. Even though the 30 mm top is heavier than thinner tops, computer-aided design of the undercarriage and supporting legs has neutralized the extra weight, so the table is easy to set up or put away. When the table is set up for playing, patented connectors join the two halves to ensure perfect alignment.

With its 30 mm top, special varnish, silkscreened lines, computer-aided design of its undercarriage, and patented connectors, the Optimum 30 is the clear choice for anyone. For forty years, STIGA has been the world leader in table tennis table development. The Optimum 30 extends this lead.
