Re-Impact Tachi Mid-Sized Defensive Blade is a world-class touch racquet for spin-drive forehand and close-to-the-table backhand precision play. These rackets represent the new production series, redeveloped in August 2023; and the Mid-Sized model, is better suited for closer to the table block and counter-punch play.  

The Tachi is a custom-made combination racquet designed to produce faster shots on the forehand and slower spinny low arc returns on the backhand. The racquet weighs just 60 grams, yet is 9mm thick, almost twice as thick as a typical table tennis blade.

The forehand is rated all+ for speed and consists of four thin wooden plies providing high control, spin, and medium-high speed.

The backhand is rated def + and consists of a thick balsa ply and a very thin wooden outer ply, providing low speed and high control. The softness of the wood is ideal for creating high spin-reversal on the ball brush yet significant speed on solid ball contact. This blade has the unique characteristic of having soft wood but considerable stiffness.

This blade is custom-made and manufactured one at a time. 

Re-impact blades are slightly asymmetric for balance and reduce wind resistance when swung. Thus, they come in Right or left-handed versions.

 Playing Style:

The Taichi compliments players and athletes who play close to the table with long-pimple or short-pimple backhand blocks and an inverted control offense forehand.

About Re-Impact:

 Re-Impact Blades are custom manufactured individually with German Know-How and Precision. No production lines, care, and thought. The blades have some unique characteristics that make them different from other table tennis blades:

1. Light Weight
2. Thickness
3. Asymmetry

Re-Impact is owned by master craftsman Achim Rendler. He and his brother built the company and have gained respect in Germany and worldwide for their quality craftsmanship.

The Tachi is constructed with a high concentration of Balsa, a lightweight wood that is known in table tennis circles for its soft feel and long drag time (enhanced spin). Combined with a patented gluing process and a slightly asymmetric shape (to reduce air flow resistance), these blades carry unique and favorable properties.

The Tachi Re-Impact blade is offered in three sizes - Standard, Mid-Sized, and Oversized. 

The standard-size blade head is 152 cm high and 157 cm wide, 

Mid-sized is 162 cm by 162 cm, 

Oversized is 166 by 162 cm

Please note that these blades are highly customized and are primarily suited for experienced players seeking to elevate their game by finding a customized lightweight racquet.
