PRODUCT SUMMARY
Rarely do you come across a table tennis blade that produces tremendous ball speed without completely diminishing its touch/feel. The Red Widow’s primary purpose is ball speed, and lots of it! But rest assured that offensively confident players will also find utility for its reasonable control and consistency. Built with two carbon layers, this blade can generate increased amounts of speed, while its 5 wood layers preserve a player’s short game feel. Our testing team had a blast pushing the speed of this blade to its limits and highly recommended pairing the Red Widow with a hard sponge rubber in order to get the most out of your game.
Red Widow is perfect for any offensive player looking dictate the pace of their matches.

STROKE PERFORMANCE
SPEED
As one of the fastest blades in the CounterStrike Collection, the Red Widow will not disappoint those looking to keep their opponents on their toes. Our testing team not only found that this blade was incredible for offensive play, but it also provided effortless defensive blocking speed. The Red Widow is a blade engineered for those that are confident in their offensive strokes or those who are looking increase the speed of their game to new levels.
CONTROL
For all of its focus on speed, the Red Widow is still surprisingly controllable as a blade. In general, table tennis blades that drastically increase the speed of the ball tend to lose a bit of control. Luckily, our development team understood this issue and developed a blade that mitigates many of those losses. Seasoned players will find the Red Widow as a real asset to their offensive game, while beginners or players that have not generally played with high-speed blades my find the Red Widow a bit more difficult to control. That being said, the Red Widow still provides mid-level control for intermediate level players and above.
TOUCH
Like every carbon blade, its increased speed capabilities through its carbon layer does decrease its touch capabilities. And this blade has A WHOLE LOT of pace to it. Luckily our research and development team spent months figuring out a way to mitigate this standard loss of touch by adding specific layers of wood to the Red Widow. This offensive carbon blade does not have the touch of all around or defensive blades. That being said, intermediate or higher players will have no problem with the feel of Red Widow.
CONSISTENCY
After hours of rigorous tests, our testing team found that the Red Widow has a mid-to-high consistency rate. Though this blade was built for speed, our research and development made sure that this blade could replicate the same shot placement time and time again. Our testing team noted that this blade is extremely consistent on flat hits and blocking shots.
