STROKE PERFORMANCE
SPEED
This may not be classified as an OFF blade, but Rally Bandit has tons of potential for speed. One of the advantages of this blade is that it does not only have the potential for speed when you smash or flat hit the ball. This table tennis blade can really bite into the ball when looping. This blade allows you the flexibility to play your loops at multiple speeds. You will also see this flexibility in your pushes, chops, and serves!
CONTROL
One of the best attributes that Rally Bandit has to offer is its control. That being said, because it is so versatile as a blade, if you are not skilled or practiced in all shot styles, you may find Rally Bandit difficult to wield, as it takes some time to get used to. For those that are proficient and confident in their strokes, they will find this blade incredibly controllable. Our testing team found that this blade wildly accurate when testing against our robot and one tester even claimed it as their new favorite paddle due to its versatility and control!
TOUCH
Typically, harder blades (especially using carbon) reduce the touch/feel of the ball while it is making contact with the blade. Our research and development team was able to mitigate a lot of this by placing the carbon layers closer to the core so that the ball retains touch/feel from outer layers of soft wood, while still preserving the speed qualities of carbon.
CONSISTENCY
Much like Rally Bandit's control, its consistency is very reliant on the skill level of the player using it. For those that are confident in their strokes at varying speeds, this blade will be a joy in regards to consistency. For table tennis players that would deem themselves as beginners, this blade may be more difficult to be consistent with.
