Wood rackets were traditionally used for table tennis. All Cornilleau indoor rackets have rubbers that have been certified by the international table tennis federation (ITTF). It goes without saying that they are perfectly suited to any kind of player, from occasional players to the most experienced.
The quality of Cornilleau rubbers is rated using a star system. Rubbers range from moderately tacky and elastic to very tacky and elastic. All our wood (indoor) rackets have rubbers that have been certified by the international table tennis federation (ITTF).
A thicker foam gives you more speed. You therefore need to adapt the foam to suit your level of skill.
The blade is the central element of your racket. A blade made of thicker wood gives your racket more speed.
There are three main types of handle: straight, anatomic and flared. Cornilleau rackets have a flared handle for better grip, so your racket sits perfectly in your hand.
Looking for a competition racket? Purchase the blade and rubbers separately so you can combine them yourself to make a racket that is perfectly suited to your playing style. Start by defining the playing strategy that you feel most comfortable with: follow our guide.
