Re-Impact Hyperion

Re-Impact Hyperion

The roof of the world in table tennis is here. The Re-Impact Hyperion was developed to combine two seemingly contradictory playing techniques. On the one hand, the forehand is designed to perfect linear offensive playing behavior with optimal control values. At the same time, the backhand is designed to optimize all-round play from all-round to all-round+ through excellent control values, especially taking into account the disruptive properties of pimpled outer rubbers. Structure: L-k-e-2/-2(-)-2\-e-k-L

Re-Impact Hyperion Table Tennis Blade

Unique Features of the Re-Impact Hyperion Table Tennis Blade

The new competition blade now has a nine-layer construction and contains no foreign substances besides the composite material between the glued wood layers. The Re-Impact Hyperion follows exactly the same blade structure as the Chevalier, including the order of the layers used. The only difference lies in the geometric course of the layers used, which reverses diagonally on the backhand of the Re-Impact Hyperion. This has transformed the Re-Impact Hyperion into a combination blade compared to the Re-Impact Chevalier, as the backhand is now played significantly slower and with more feel when using long pimpled rubbers.

However, the fast, linear playing style of the forehand of the original Re-Impact Chevalier with 42-44° hard rubbers (European hardness standard) is meant to be maintained. The trajectory of the plastic ball should be kept very low to make it difficult for the opponent to block or attack the ball. However, sponges with a hardness below 42° according to the European standard should not be used. It is possible to use much harder sponges, but this comes at the cost of ball control. Interestingly, the spin behavior increases when using very hard, elastic sponges.

The backhand of the Re-Impact Hyperion is now also meant to be played very linearly and represent exactly the opposite picture for the use of long pimpled rubbers. It should produce much more spin to achieve excellent spin continuation. However, this is only possible if the speed behavior of the backhand is noticeably reduced and throttled. This is where the Limba veneers come into play, which are also used for the T 4 or T 1.

The basic condition here is also that the playing conditions of the ball must be similarly flat as in the forehand. This allows the plastic ball to land in the 25-30 cm zone before the baseline and dive faster due to the high spin content of the balls. As a result, it cannot be immediately attacked by the opponent.

Another positive development of the Re-Impact Hyperion is that due to its increased control in the backhand, it will now also be optimally playable for the lower leagues. The combined backhand will not only be safer, but was also rated by my test players as not at all susceptible to spin in this combination.

The Re-Impact Hyperion was last tested with the rubber combination Dignics 09 C 2.1mm FH and BH Allround Premium 2 in 1.0 mm or Easy P 0.5 mm. The test result was endless topspin. It was very easy and safe to play and insensitive to spin, no matter how much spin was applied during the serve. According to the description of the four testers, it also works very well with all other pimpled rubbers.

The control value through the better linear control of the backhand pulls the forehand along and is now subjectively at 210%, all-off, and the spin at 180%. Due to the slower design of the backhand, the blade is overall much more all-round offensive in playing behavior than the similarly constructed Re-Impact Chevalier, (all+-off+).

These details are also necessary for the production of Ship grip, Conical grip, and Beaver grip! If you do not provide any information, the handle will be made in the respective standard size.

Measurements and Descriptions

All information regarding speed and weight etc. refers to the standard blade. The larger blades have slightly less speed, although the differences are very minimal in each case. The weight difference between standard, medium, and large blades is only a few grams.

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.

      Re-Impact in comparison: The difference that decides your game

      How Re-Impact table tennis blades improve your game performance with innovations and handcrafted precision.

      Criterion Re-Impact Conventional Table Tennis Blades
      Material Selection Carefully hand-selected, high-quality veneers for optimal playing characteristics. Standardized wood selection without specific selection according to playing characteristics.
      Weight Lower average weight (<85g), reduces wrist strain and promotes longer playing times without fatigue. Higher average weight (>85g), can lead to faster fatigue during longer games.
      Technology Integrated KSLS system for optimized ball feel and more direct feedback upon ball contact. No comparable technology integrated for direct ball feel optimization.
      Catapult Effect & Control Specially developed layer bonding for a balanced ratio of catapult effect and ball control. Enables powerful play with high precision at the same time. Often a compromise between catapult effect for offensive play and necessary ball control, which can limit versatility.
      Sweet Spot Size Enlarged sweet spot due to special construction, which increases the error tolerance and enables more precise hits even outside the ideal ball hitting point. Standard sweet spot size, which offers less error tolerance and requires precise ball feel in the center.
      Tempo Options Broad spectrum of tempo variants and individual gradations, adapted to different playing styles from defensive to offensive. Limited selection of predefined tempo classes, less flexibility for individual adjustments.
      Control & Customizability High control and individual customization options in terms of wood, handle and weight to optimally match the racket to the player. Lower customizability, standardized construction with limited options for individual configuration.
      Spin Potential Optimized ball guidance and wood structure promote excellent spin development and enable shots with high rotation. Spin performance may vary, tendentially less optimized for maximum spin development compared to specialized blades.
      Handle Design Ergonomic and individually adjustable handles, including custom-made to hand contour, for optimal grip and playing feel. Standardized handle sizes and shapes, offer less individual adaptation to the player's hand.
      Individualization Comprehensive individualization options from wood selection to handle design, enables a unique racket perfectly tailored to the player. Hardly to no individualization options, focus on standardized products for a broad mass.
      Manufacturing Type Handmade in manufactory quality, each blade is unique, manufactured with the highest precision and attention to detail. Industrial series production, standardized processes for high volumes, but less focus on individuality and detail.
