Highly suitable for the reactive defensive game where positive attacking play is mixed with classic defensive strokes. The 3.5mm lightweight blade construction offers great feel and control due to the Glassfibre plies, which induce a 'longer contact time with the ball'. The spring effect produced by the balsa wood provides you with an advantage during some attack play.

Easy to use and trouble free water based table tennis glue!

The ban of speed glue by ITTF prohibits any Volatile Organic Compound like solvents in the racket. The spirit of ban also discourages the use of any toxic or skin irritating substance in sport. I-BOND is clean and safe. White sponge at the bottle tip helps to rub the surface. Any water glues are stronger in nature than speed glues. And might damage the surface of your blade when you remove the rubber from the blade. I-SURE is strongly recommended to use on the blade beforehand.

• Comes in a 25ml bottle.
  
• Allowed to carry in flights.

"For the last three month I have been thinking a lot about the new rules concerning the ban of glue. I am still discussing almost everyday with numerous players about the change that is taking place since the introduction at the beginning of September. When Boosters came on the market it posed two problems. First is that it is against the rule to "add" anything to the racket composition other than what is listed in Rule 2.4 "The Racket" of the ITTF laws of TT. Second, we also have a rule 2.4.7, which does not allow the racket covering to be changed in any way on purpose after it has been approved by the ITTF. Rule 2.4 isvery old and never changed. Rule 2.4.7 was introduced in 2006 and so is newer." - ITTF President Adham Shahara
