Rackets
Complete table tennis rackets, ready to play out of the box — no gluing and no choosing rubbers.
Two genuinely different things sit here, and it is worth knowing which you are buying. A factory pre-made bat is a single sealed product: the rubbers are part of it and are not intended to be replaced, which is what keeps it simple and affordable. A pro setup is a real blade with real rubbers glued to it — the same components sold separately, put together for you. The second can be re-rubbered indefinitely and the blade outlives several sets of sheets; the first is a bat you replace whole.
Buy for the player, not the specification sheet. A beginner bat uses a slower sponge and a more forgiving surface, which is exactly what somebody learning to keep the ball on the table needs; a faster bat makes that harder, not easier. Rackets built for competition assume a stroke that is already there. Our racket selection guide places every racket and set we carry by the player its maker says it is for, brand by brand.
If you already know which blade and rubbers you want, buy them apart instead — the blades and rubbers collections are where a custom racket starts. For a first table at home, a set that pairs bats, balls and a net is usually better value.

The TB5 is a medium speed all-wood blade for a balanced and controlled attack. Rozena offers exceptional speed and great spin! Rozena is powered by Butterfly's Spring Sponge technology. Spring Sponge is used in the popular Tenergy rubber series which is used by many world class players. The softer sponge layer is a bit more forgiving on errant shots. Spring Sponge makes it easier to play your shots and the tremendous feel of Spring Sponge must be experienced to believe.

PLEASE NOTE: most players eventually find the blade that best suits their own individual and unique style of play, and then use it for many years – a properly cared for blade will last years. The rubber, however, wears out over time and has to be replaced.
When that day comes, DO NOT THROW THIS RACKET AWAY! Butterfly Pro-Line rackets are assembled with a glue that lets you remove the old rubber easily, and the new one can be professionally installed or you can even do it yourself: replace with the same rubber or upgrade to one that offers more speed, or more spin, or both!
Did You Know? More World Class Players Trust Butterfly Than Any Other Brand - at the 2019 World Table Tennis Championships, 99.8% of the participants were surveyed regarding their individual blade and rubber usage. Butterfly blades were used by 56.6% of those surveyed, with the other 43.4% spread over 11 different brands, and Butterfly rubbers by 53.2%, with the other 46.8% again spread over 11 different brands.
The TB5 Alpha offers excellent feel and control, and good speed on your attacking shots.
Its rubber has the classic Sriver topsheet with a slightly softer sponge layer, which will 'hold' the ball longer for additional control. Sriver was the dominant rubber for more than 25 years, and it is still a great all-round attacking rubber today!

The Revoldia CNF (Cellulose Nanofiber) introduces new technology in a table tennis blade. Its CNF material is derived from wood pulp that has been micro-refined to the nano level of several hundredths of microns, and the combination of 5 wood plies and 2 nanofiber plies creates low vibration and high reaction – great feel as well as a high rebound when the ball is struck.
The blade performs like a carbon blade on attacking shots, yet offers the soft touch of wood on soft and medium efforts shots. Impartial XS achieves new speed and spin capabilities in a pips-out rubber, and Dignics 09C, with its sticky top-sheet, allows sharp topspins and gives the sensation of 'holding' the ball at impact; it is the spinniest rubber in the Butterfly range.
