The Killerspin 420-01 Blast Max Table Tennis Rubber, Red is cutting-edge rubber made especially for advanced skill, topspin players looking for extra power. Like Killerspin"s Fortissimo, the Blast"s rubber consists of a hybrid topsheet made of an elastic compound, which generates amazing rebound, as well as a soft compound that helps grab the ball and create more spin. Equal components of natural and synthetic rubber give an extra spring effect. However, the topsheet for the Killerspin 420-01 Blast Max Table Tennis Rubber, Red is stiffer than that of Fortissimo, generating extra power for a wicked shot. The Blast also features a made-in-Japan soft sponge, ideal for powerful topspin shots with great control, and German "Torqsion TechnologyTM", which is stronger than normal tension standards, and gives the rubber an added performance edge. The product comes with a 30-day limited warranty. Table tennis is a sport that can be enjoyed by individuals of any age and physical ability. Playing table tennis is a great way to stimulate the brain and promote quick thinking while improving hand eye coordination. Killerspin was built to bring youth and innovation to one of the world"s most beautiful sports, and to serve the table tennis player. The Chicago-based firm produces premium-quality table tennis equipment, sports apparel and media.
