A table tennis blade is the mainly wooden middle part of a table tennis racket. Due to the variety of blades and rubbers in table tennis, players usually buy the blade and the rubber separately.[1] A blade's weight, size, shape, material, and handle all, in different ways, affect how the racket interacts and returns the ball.[2]
