JOOLA Omega Speed Table Tennis Racket with Flared Handle - Tournament Level Ping Pong Paddle

JOOLA’s line of Omega rackets is geared toward recreational-level players looking to take their game to the next level. The Speed racket, the second in the series, is assembled with pips-in JOOLA Torrent 33 rubber on both sides with a sponge thickness of 2.0mm, providing a more offensive game. The softer sponge provides more spin at lower speeds. The blade is a 5-ply combination of Limba and Ayous woods, creating a 5.7mm blade thickness. Limba is native to tropical western Africa and is the classic European topspin wood. It is used as the outer ply in blades because it provides a flexible yet hard feeling, which allows the player to enhance their topspin. The Ayous wood is lightweight, firm, and elastic which is why it is the heart of many all-around blades. It is essential for players who want to keep the ball in play to wear out their opponents. The combination of these two types of wood is perfect for players who want to govern the speed of the game (Ayous) while executing heavy top-spin shots (Limba). The flared handle offers a comfortable grip allowing better control when returning shots at opponents.
