Rapier 44: The Ultimate Table Tennis All-Round Blade
Versatility and Performance
The Rapier 44 is characterized by its exceptional versatility. It enables efficient execution of all stroke types and effortlessly neutralizes opponent's spin and effects. Especially over the table, it offers outstanding control and dynamics for fast, accurate attacks as well as precise defensive maneuvers.
Flexibility in Rubber Selection
The Rapier 44 shows excellent compatibility with various rubbers:
  • Anti-topspin rubbers (recommended: soft with thinner sponge)
  • Long pimples
  • Thin backhand rubbers
  • Special tuning for the Tibhar Grass D-Tec ox
Tactical Advantage
From the opponent's perspective, the Rapier 44 poses a significant threat due to its flat ball trajectory and unpredictable ball bounces. It allows for the generation of fast-dropping, spin-rich balls that stand out from other competition blades.
Versatile Playing Options
The Rapier 44 is ideally suited for:
  • Strategists using long pimples
  • Spin players
  • Block and counter players
  • Players who prefer a medium all-round and tempo game
Outstanding Features:
High spin and sufficient speed from a distance
Flat trajectory for pressure from a distance
Targeted speed reduction in defensive play
Enables extremely short-placed stop balls from the attack phase
Pro Tip: For optimal performance, we recommend combination sponges from 42° and a maximum rubber thickness of 2.1 mm. With thinner rubbers of 1.5-1.8 mm, a very favorable overall weight can be achieved, which further enhances the blade's tempo behavior.

For this order, the following information is required, which you can enter in the free field under the handle selection: 1. Lines 1 - 6 (see image) 2. Description: U = Length of the forearm (forearm (inside) joint to wrist); not shown in image.

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.

      Sehr gut.

      Ich halte diesen Schläger von Re-Impact für wirklich sehr gelungen. Er liegt gut in der Hand und die Verarbeitung ist auch erste Sahne. Das Rapier 44 ist mit 13 mm etwas dicker als der normale Schläger aber mit ca 65 g immer noch leicht. Das Holz ist im allgemeinen sehr fehlertolerant, heißt man kann sich technische Schwächen auch mal erlauben, ohne gleich unter zu gehen. Mit schnittreichen Angaben auf meine Rückhand komme ich viel besser zurecht, als früher. Das Holz ermöglicht einen, das Tempo aus dem Spiel zu nehmen, was mir bei längeren Ballwechseln als älterer Spieler oft zugute kommt.
