STROKE PERFORMANCE
SPEED
Alpha Dog is made for All-Around players that tend to play the ball close to the table. For those that do play close to the table, our testing team found that Alpha Dog will produce more than enough speed to keep your opponent on defense and allow you to dictate play. For players who farther off the table, a bit more effort will be needed to create pace when striking the ball. That being said, for an all wood blade, Alpha Dog still has the ability to generate solid offensive speed!
CONTROL
If you are looking for ball placement and control, Alpha Dog is a brilliant choice to fit your game. Regardless of if you are looking to use underspin, topspin, or flat shots, placing the ball on the table will be a breeze. Where this blade really sets itself apart from the competition is its ability to defensively control the ball. Players who like to play defense from time to time will immediately fall in love with this blade due to its diversity.
TOUCH
The soft outer veneer and harder core of Alpha Dog allow players great feel/touch of the ball without losing the capacity to generate speed. Our testing team noted that this wood combination was able to generate a substantially longer dwell time on the blade, allowing our team to really feel the ball on short pushes, loops, and blocks.
CONSISTENCY
Alpha Dog really stands out when it comes to its consistency. This is not only a blade for All-Around Advanced players, but because of its consistency and ability to be so dynamic, it is also perfect for newer players looking to increase their skills. When testing Alpha Dog on a robot, our team found it to be extremely efficient in placing the ball in the same spot time and time again.
