Custom Table Tennis Defensive XIOM Vega Table Tennis Bat

We set out to design a range of cost effective blades without compromising on quality or features. With our new range of blades you can expect the same high standards and playability as the big brands without paying big brand prices. The Custom Table Tennis Wood Series features the perfect combination of selected woods suitable for players of any level. Our Wood Series Defensive features a classic 5 ply construction of selected softer woods. The combination of the softer woods and total thickness of 5mm allows for maximum feel and control. The blade offers a bigger hitting and blocking area due to the slightly larger head size of 162 x 157mm. The superior quality is the result of the finest specialty woods combined with the latest high-tech manufacturing. The No.1 choice for players looking to improve their game without breaking the bank. Fitted with a choice of Xiom Vega rubbers to suit any game. High quality Tensor rubbers, made in Germany, offering excellent longevity and a competitive price point. Rubber Choices When choosing a rubber, consider the amount of control and speed that you require. Generally speaking, softer sponges offer the most control and harder sponges offer the most speed. The sponge density is shown in brackets; the higher the number, the harder the sponge. All these rubbers offer excellent spin, especially the Euro and Asia DF (Dynamic Friction) and the Vega X which have been developed for the newer ABS ball. The default option is Vega Euro DF which is our recommendation for intermediate players or a first Tensor rubber. Tensor rubbers are significantly quicker than standard rubbers, even with the softer sponges. If you prefer a lighter bat, the softer sponges also offer a lower overall bat weight. (37.5°) Xiom Vega Euro DF (40°)    Xiom Vega Elite (42.5°) Xiom Asia DF (47.5°) Xiom Vega Pro (47.5°) Xiom Vega X We make up all our bats using rubbers with a sponge thickness of 2.0mm. This is the most popular option and the best balance of speed and control. We always fit the red rubber to the front of the blade and the black rubber on the back. If you have any special requests such as different rubbers on each side, black on the front or alternative sponge thickness (subject to availability) please get in touch or add your request in the customer notes section when checking out.
