Blades
Table tennis blades — the wooden frame a racket is built on. A blade is bought once and kept, and the rubbers glued to it are replaced as they wear, so this is the part of a setup worth taking time over.
Construction is the first decision. An all-wood blade flexes more, gives the clearest feedback and is the usual recommendation while a stroke is still being learned. A composite blade carries a fibre layer that stiffens the frame and adds speed at the cost of some feel — carbon is the most common of those, with arylate-carbon, ZLC, aramid and fibreglass each trading stiffness against touch differently.
Then match the blade to how you actually play. Offensive blades are built to throw the ball back hard and suit a game played away from the table; allround blades give up some speed for control and are the easier place to develop a stroke. Where a blade sits on that scale matters more than its price does.
Weight and stiffness are the fine adjustment. Lighter blades are quicker to move into position and more forgiving over a long session; heavier ones carry more through the ball. A stiff blade returns energy directly, a flexible one lets the ball sit on the wood a fraction longer, which is what players mean by dwell.
Handle shape is a variant, not a different blade — flared (FL) widens toward the base and is the common choice, straight (ST) is even along its length and suits players who change grip, anatomic (AN) is contoured to the palm. Pick by what is comfortable in your hand, and remember a blade needs two rubbers to become a racket.

DONIC IMPULS Technology
For more than three decades, DONIC has been researching the vibration behavior of table tennis blades. In the 1990s, for example, DONIC used Dicon and Senso technology to translate this research into series products which have revolutionized table tennis blade construction.
DONIC Impuls Technology was added in 2000. It was developed by using a soft gluing process of the plies used at the time – the Waldner Impuls 6.0 and 6.5 and Persson 7.0 and 7.5 were at the heart of these best sellers.
- Outstanding acceleration
- Unequalled control
- Solid edge protection
- Optimum weight
- Perfect sound
- Sturdy construction
are just a few outstanding qualities resulting from DONIC’s IMPULS technology.
DONIC continues the tradition of this unique technology with DONIC NEW IMPULS blades. Especially with the new plastic (Cell - Free) balls the DONIC Impuls technology proves its outstanding advantages.
Players of all standards can select the new DONIC Impuls blade (DONIC New Impuls 6.5, 7.0 or 7.5) to perfectly suit their playing style. Exceptional spin, speed and control can be achieved with the correct combination of rubbers.
All three New Impuls Blades are based on a Pine-Kiri-Kiri ply combination glued with a special Latex/Epox film. This method of construction has never previously been used on table tennis blades, but it is this that gives the blades their unique soft playing characteristics.

The Donic Original True Carbon blade presents the perfect combination of speed and feel. As a consequence of the change to plastic balls, many top players looked for a solution that would meet their high requirements -- a blade to compliment their powerful strokes while enabling them to play the short service and return game with precision and accuracy.
The combination of five high quality plies and two layers of carbon, plus a specially designed synthetic fiber, has resulted in a top quality blade. This means that the player is able to use the hardness of the blade for their power game, yet retain fine touch when reacting to their opponents' spin.
