Cybershape: A Revolutionary Table Tennis Blade with an Innovative Design
The Cybershape blade represents a groundbreaking development in table tennis equipment, featuring a distinctive shape that enhances the hitting area. Designed for offensive play, this patent-pending, design-protected blade is approved for all competition levels.
Key Features:
Optimized Hitting Area: The Cybershape blade offers an 11% larger hitting area for shakehand grip players and a 9% increase for penhold grip players, compared to traditional blades. This expansion is based on studies showing that the optimal hitting zone is located in the top half of the blade.
CCF Technology: The blade incorporates Close Core Fibre (CCF) technology, where a carbon fiber layer is placed directly on the wood core. This design provides a softer touch and greater control, enhancing both speed and control during play.
Unique Shape: The Cybershape blade's design allows players to easily adjust the bat's angle, achieving the desired amount of spin when serving. Its unconventional shape also helps players see the hitting area more clearly, offering six different angles to manipulate spin.
Enhanced Sweet Spot: The blade's unique geometry results in a larger sweet spot, making it easier to control short serves and returns. The optimized hitting area on the top part of the blade is increased, while the bottom part is slightly reduced by 2% to maintain balance and prevent excessive weight.
Advanced Vibration Properties: Collaborations with KTH Royal Institute of Technology revealed that the Cybershape blade has a more linear frequency response than traditional blades. This unique vibration pattern provides a completely new feel, with a larger sweet spot located further out on the blade, enhancing player feedback and control.
Weight and Balance: Despite having a larger surface area than regular blades, the Cybershape blade maintains a lightweight profile at 85 +/- 5 grams. This is achieved through the use of advanced, lightweight carbon fiber composite materials made in Germany.
The Cybershape blade offers a fresh, innovative experience for table tennis players, with its optimized hitting area, advanced materials, and unique vibration properties, all contributing to a distinctive feel during play.
