The Barath Competition Blade: Two Playing Characteristics in One

The Barath is a special competition blade that opens up more tactical possibilities through its construction. It allows you to change its playing characteristics mid-game with a simple 180-degree rotation of your racket.

Construction and Properties

  • Special Material Combination: The balsa and cork construction aims for a balanced ratio of feel, speed, and control.
  • Optimized Sweet Spot: The blade thickness is designed to increase the effective hitting area. This can give you more confidence on off-center shots.
  • Asymmetrical Handle: The special handle shape is designed to support a relaxed grip and can help to ease strain on the joints during prolonged use.
  • Rubber Recommendation: The blade pairs well with rubbers between 1.5 mm and 1.9 mm (max. 2.1 mm) and a sponge hardness of 43° or higher.

How It Works: Two Playing Sides with a Single Turn

The core of the blade consists of two inner veneers glued diagonally and crosswise. Depending on how you hold the blade, the ball strikes the wood grain at a different angle. By rotating the racket 180°, you activate one of two different playing sides.

Playing Side 1 (Barath 224): For Control and Feel

In this orientation, the ball hits against the grain direction of the crucial veneer layer.

  • Feel: The ball contact is perceived as softer, which increases ball feedback.
  • Speed:
    • Passive: In passive play (e.g., blocking), the speed of the incoming ball is noticeably reduced.
    • Active: During your own attacks, you can still generate sufficient pressure and speed.
  • Control: The sensitive feedback supports a high level of control, especially when you are under pressure.
  • Suitability: This side is well-suited for a varied all-round to offensive game where you value secure blocks and precise ball placement.

Playing Side 2 (Barath 422): For Speed and Directness

After rotation, the ball hits with the grain direction of the veneer layer.

  • Feel: The ball contact is more direct and harder.
  • Speed: The blade acts faster overall. The ball's energy is transferred more directly.
  • Ball Trajectory: The flight path tends to be longer and slightly higher, which supports a powerful game from the baseline.
  • Suitability: Ideal if you want to put your opponent under pressure and push them away from the table. This side is often recommended for combination with short pips.

Your Tactical Advantage

The ability to switch between sides gives you the freedom to adapt your tactics during a rally. For example, you can:

  1. Start a powerful attack with the fast Playing Side 2.
  2. Discreetly turn the blade and play a short drop shot with the controlled Playing Side 1.
  3. Force your opponent into unexpected movements this way.

The Barath is a piece of equipment for players who like to actively use their gear to gain tactical advantages and make their game more versatile.

All-round players who value control and a balanced feel. Serves as a reference for speed/weight.

Medium

Width: 162 mm

Height (Blade): 162 mm

Height (Total): 264 mm

Ideal for you if you:

prefer a larger hitting area and want to benefit from a bit more forgiveness.

Large

Width: 162 mm

Height (Blade): 168 mm

Height (Total): 270 mm

Ideal for you as:

a defensive player or beginner, if you focus on maximum consistency and a maximum hitting area.

Important Notes on Speed, Weight, and Playing Characteristics

  • Reference Values (Small)

    All information on speed and weight in our product descriptions always refers to the small blade. This serves as a reference point for the other sizes.

  • Speed

    The larger blades (Medium and Large) have a lower speed compared to the small blade. The differences are measurable and can be noticeable, depending on the player type.

  • Weight

    The weight difference between the three sizes can be up to 20 grams. This difference is noticeable and influences the swing characteristics, balance, and overall handling of the blade.

  • Hitting Area

    The main advantage of the medium and large blades is the enlarged hitting area. This leads to greater forgiveness and a more secure ball feel, especially on off-center hits.

  • Sweetspot

    A larger blade can also have a slightly larger sweetspot (the optimal point of contact), which can further improve control and precision.

In Summary - Which Blade is Right for You?

  • Small: Balanced feel, control, reference size.
  • Medium: Larger hitting area, more forgiveness, slightly less speed, significant weight difference.
  • Large: Maximum hitting area, highest consistency, lower speed, significant weight difference, ideal for defensive players and beginners.

Our Recommendation: Choose the blade size that best suits your individual playing style, experience, and personal preferences. Take into account the described differences in size, speed, weight, and hitting area.

We look forward to advising you on your blade!

Handle Shapes

Anatomical

The anatomical handle fills the palm well. It sits very firmly in the hand.

    Concave

    The wide end of the concave handle prevents the racket from slipping out of the hand and is relatively flexible.

    Straight

    The straight handle supports any type of racket grip, it's the easiest to vary/rotate. Good for flexible wrist use.

    Penholder/pen-hold

    The penholder grip allows only one side of the racket to be used, it's optimal for wrist variations.
    Japanese penholder style – racket with a long, angular handle (Penholder Jap.)
    Chinese penholder style – racket with a short, flat handle (Penholder Chin.)

    Conical handle(FL)

    The conical handle is a round tapered handle that can be easily rotated while still sitting securely in the hand.

    Beaver handle

    The beaver handle has a wide, one-sided flat-running end, making it secure and comfortable in the hand.

    Ship's propeller

    a handle rotated by 45 degrees, which sits well in the hand

    Ergonomic


    The ergonomic pistol grip is a replica of James Haylord's invention created for our products. The original grip is designed so that the hand, including all fingers, rests on the handle and not on the blade. However, with our product, the thumb and index finger rest on the respective hitting surface, so the handle shaft has been optimally redesigned. The advantage is that the grip now allows for better hand guidance to the racket wood. However, the grip is purely handmade and not easy to produce.

      Noble sealing Mahogany

      The noble sealing in mahogany looks wonderful because the noble stain completely colors the wood structure and further solidifies the surface of the balsa. This way, you don't see any signs of use as with lighter woods, and due to the surface hardening, the playing characteristics such as ball control are perceived even more clearly, without the wood's natural vibration being transmitted to the hand. In addition, the wood is better protected against humidity and sweat.

      The MCP system is a special grip system that

      1. controls the mass effect of the racket by allowing you to reduce the pressure point of the racket for passive shots and, conversely, immensely increase it for active shots. This requires an elaborate grip shell, consisting of a surface layer of hardwood and an underlayer of softwood, because the direct underlayer must be able to vibrate elastically, similar to a tuning fork. This way, I can

      2. systematically extend the KSLS system notches in the handle to allow the upper blade to vibrate more elastically and generate even more spin, but also

      3. obtain a more appealing surface grip that doesn't absorb hand sweat as quickly.

      Sehr kontrolliertes Balsa Holz, ideal für Störspiel mit der Rückhand und sicherer Vorhand.

      Das Barath ist bisher mein bestes Re-Impact Holz, spiele es aber in der 422 Auslegung, wodurch ich eine wesentlich kontrolliertere Rückhand (komplett andere Flugbahn als in der 224 Version) habe. Als Spielbelag kann ich VH noch den Acuda S1 Turbo in 1.8 oder 2.0 empfehlen (obwohl kein weicher Belag, harmoniert er perfekt mit der VH).

      Angriff und Kontrolle in Perfektion

      Für mich ist das Barath auch immer noch das beste spielbare Holz von Re-Impact. Auch wenn es sich anscheinend nicht viel anders vom Aufbau wie das klassische "Dream" ist, spielt es sich doch einfach viel gefühlvoller mit Noppen-Innen Beläge. Besonders die Rückhand ist druckvoll, aber extrem kontrolliert zu spielen.

      Top, bissig, direkt, explosiv

      Barath for ever !!!! Für mich das beste Holz von Re-Impact. Bissig, direkt mit einem super Ballgefühl. Habe schon andere Hölzer ausprobiert, doch bin ich immer wieder auf das Baraht schnell zurückgekommen. Balag Vorhand (dickere Balsaschicht) TSP Agrit speed rot 1,5 oder Speedy spin classic 1,5 und auf der Rückhand (dünnere Balsaschicht) Armstrong Hikkari RS 7 55. Mir liegen härtere Beläge auf dem Holz besser als weiche. An zeiter Stelle kommt das Rapier 44 in der selben Belagskombination.

      Absolug empfehlenswert

      Ich spiele das Barat-Holz mit geradem Griff als Anfertigung auf meine Körpermaße. "Normale" Schläger kann ich nicht genügend fest halten, die Griffe sind zu dünn. Ich spiel das Holz nun seit 3 Jahren und bin von den Eigenschaften und Möglichkeiten überzeugt. Das Ballgefühl kann sich entwickeln. Präzise, gefühlvolle Blocks, so wie auch druckvolle präzise geschlagene Topspinns, tischnahes Spiel mit kurzen klaren Bewegungen erzeugt jede Menge Spin. Für mich eine deutliche Empfehlung.
