REFLEX SPORTS 2008 World Team Table Tennis Championships - Table Tennis Video

This sensitive defensive blade with the Reflex dampening system in half the length of the grip has, in a short time, become one of the TSP best-seller in Europe and Japan. Many TSP top players rely on the TSP Reflex 50 Award.

The REFLEX SYSTEM was developed with the idea that the racket extends the movement and operation of the human wrist. The best feature is that the racket creates a slight bowing and a ball digs into it by working the special fabrics (impact absorbing cushioning) into the junction between the racket and the grip. This creates outstanding control and makes it easy to spin. In addition, stability immediately after the impact is fantastic, so it gives a ball quick flick and creates a high-speed ball.

A sensitive and well made lightweight blade. The fiber glass layers create an enlarged 'sweet spot' and also offer a sensible touch of speed. This 4.5 Balsa blade also offers superb sensitivity of touch with enough drive to cover any opportunity to attack. A highly popular and responsive allround blade.

BALSA GLASFIBER-Series

TSP Blades with "intelligent" core. The heart of the patented TSP Balsa-Series is the middle layer. The combination of the elastic fiber glass layers with the vertical wooden fibres leads to a round and especially large hitting area (sweet spot). 

The result is an extremely precise bounce of the ball, free of vibration and an amazingly high rate of control at all variations.

The most important feature of the Balsa System is, that the speed of the blade can be varied by adjusting the thickness of the Balsa core. (Weight ca. 70 - 75 g)
