Blades

To play ping-pong well, a player needs not only skill but also properly selected professional equipment. One of the key elements enabling high-level table tennis is the paddle. Professional players or skilled amateurs strive not just to buy table tennis paddles but to select a base and then install special rubbers on it.

This approach allows players to customize paddles for ping-pong that perfectly suit their playing style, as well as a set of tactical moves and actions that work best for them.

In this section of our online store, you can find a wide range of professional equipment for this sport. We offer bases from leading manufacturers such as Joola, Butterfly, Donic, DHS, Andro, Tibhar, and others. The products we offer comply with ITTF (International Table Tennis Federation) standards.

Types of Table Tennis Paddle Bases

Imagine you decide not just to buy a table tennis paddle but first to choose a base and then attach a rubber to it. What types of bases exist? Let’s examine their main types:

1. Defensive (abbreviated as def) — designed for defensive play. In this case, the player prioritizes tactics such as blocking, counter-attacking, slicing, and shots with unexpected ball trajectories. The focus here is on control, stability, precision, and soft shots.
2. Offensive — primarily for offensive playing styles. These may have designations such as (off-, off, off+), which indicate:

• «off+» (Offensive plus) — emphasizes a particularly aggressive attacking style. The base is stiff, focusing on speed, and in combination with the rubber, creates strong ball spin. This is suitable for players with a high level of skill and individual game control.
• «off-» (Offensive minus) — still a base for attacking players, but with a greater emphasis on control. It has moderate stiffness and medium-to-high speed. If a player’s skills require added control, this is a good choice.
• «off» — a balance between Offensive plus and Offensive minus, offering a middle ground between speed and control.

3. Allround — universal bases that balance attack and defense. They may have designations such as (all-, all, all+). The "-" indicates a focus on defensive actions, while the "+" points towards an offensive emphasis. Allround bases are chosen based on the playing style and are excellent for players who prefer to combine different styles.

Each base is always paired with rubbers for the paddle, which work together to define the overall specialization. This allows the player to adopt a playing style suited to the chosen equipment.

How to Choose a Table Tennis Base

It is important to note that playing with a good paddle is not just for professional players. Even at the amateur level, it’s worth selecting the right rubber and a suitable base right from the start. This helps you get accustomed to high standards and makes it easier to improve your skills in ping-pong.

The specific base you should buy depends on your preferences. For attacking players, one of the Offensive options can be chosen. If control or defensive play is essential, a Defensive base is a good choice. Often, especially for amateurs and those just refining their skills, purchasing a universal base with an emphasis on attack, control, or balance is a solid option. Choosing a professional paddle is often best done with the advice of your coach or trainer, who can suggest the best choice for your current level of progress.

Selecting a base for a professional paddle is not only a matter of material but also of the player’s preferences. Based on your playing style, you can choose the most suitable option to achieve the best results. At the same time, it is essential to consider not only the type of wood but also the synthetic materials, which can significantly influence the paddle's characteristics.

The materials used to make bases include wood from various tree species, predominantly hardwoods. In modern branded models, composite materials such as natural wood combined with carbon fiber are often used, with occasional reinforcing inserts. The choice of materials and wood species depends on the intended playing purposes of the base.
