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.

With the BalsaCarbo X7, two additional layers of Balsa wood have been added to its standard 5-ply construction which provides a higher degree of reaction. Tenergy 80 FX offers the perfect balance of speed and spin in the Tenergy Series. The softer 'FX' sponge adds a touch more control. The Spring Sponge technology adds additional speed and spin to each shot and offers tremendous feel.

PLEASE NOTE: Ultimately, most players find a blade that best suits their own individual and unique style of play and will use that blade for many years. If properly cared for, the blade will last years. However, the rubber will wear out over time and need to be replaced. When that day comes, DO NOT THROW THIS RACKET AWAY! The glue that is used to assemble Butterfly Pro-Line rackets will allow you to easily remove the old rubber. You can have the rubber 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!

The identical racket used by Lin Yun-Ju. The Viscaria Super ALC offers increased power and softer touch than its predecessor, Viscaria ALC. Zyre 03 is composed of “Ricosheet”, a top sheet with dense, low pimples, and an extremely thick sponge. Zyre 03 enables shots that penetrate deep into the opponent’s side of the table with a dramatic arced trajectory, producing spin like never before. Dignics 05 is powered by Spring Sponge X technology and was developed to generate more power, 'hold' the ball longer and to be even more durable than its predecessor, Spring Sponge.
