Basic InformationSANWEI C5 LD CARBON (abbreviated as C5 LD) is an offensive table tennis blade tailored for fast attack and loop-drive play (OFF ). It is particularly suitable for intermediate beginners, students, and players who favor loop-drive or fast-attack styles on a limited budget. The blade’s price (excluding rubbers) is around 100 to 150 RMB.Blade StructureThis blade adopts a 7-ply construction, composed of 5 wood layers and 2 layers of SANWEI self-developed LD lightweight carbon. From the surface to the core, its structure is as follows: the outer layer is made of technical wood, featuring moderate hardness, clear feedback and reliable control; the middle two layers are LD carbon, delivering excellent elasticity, rapid speed and ample bottom power; the core is paulownia wood, which is lightweight, stable and offers good ball retention.Specifications & PerformanceIn terms of specifications, the FL (flared) shakehand blade has dimensions of 259 × 150 mm, while the CS (chinese straight) penhold blade is 240 × 150 mm. Its thickness is approximately 6.0 mm, and the FL blade weighs about 88g (±3g), with the CS blade being slightly lighter. According to the official performance ratings (on a 10-point scale), its reaction is 11, vibration is 10.5, first speed is 7.5, second speed is 8.5, and the hitting feel is medium (MID).Key FeaturesThe blade has several notable features: it is easy to handle with high fault tolerance, as the technical wood outer layer and LD carbon allow players to fully compress the blade with moderate force, making it ideal for beginners to hit consistently. It strikes a good balance between speed and control—fast first speed for fast attacks, pushes and flicks, and ample second speed for stable loop-drives without drifting. The hitting feel is crisp and transparent, with a large sweet spot, clear hand feedback and no hand vibration, ensuring steady ball control.Like this:Like Loading...
