Blade dimensions and weight Database
This is a database of table tennis blade dimensions and typical weights. This is a community project, with measurements provided by players worldwide.
Credit goes to the members of OOAK Forum and more recently the MyTT forum for providing the data!
Why are the blade dimension and weight important?
Manufacturers often don’t specify the dimensions or typical weight of their blades. If you’re buying a new blade, it would be useful to know if it’s regular size, or somewhat over- or under size. This is particularly important if you’re going to be using old rubbers, or rubbers from a friend… you want to know if they’re going to fit!
For people that want oversize blades, it’s important to know how big the blade really is, as their top choice of rubber may not actually fit. Yes it does happen! Check the Rubber Sheet Size Database for rubber sizes.
Similarly the weight is important, as people have personal preferences towards heavy or light, and it may affect your choice of rubbers. For example if the blade you choose tends to be a little heavy, you may wish to choose some lighter rubbers, so that the overall weight (and balance) may be more suitable for you. Check the Rubber Sheet Mass Database for rubber weights
Tip: There are always variations in weights of blade, even for identical models. If the blade weight is important to you, ask your dealer for a specific weight or weight range. Some will be happy to supply you with your requested weights.
Will you help contribute? It’s easy!
This database is a community project, so the more people that can help contribute, the more everyone benefits! If you can simply weigh and measure your blade before you put rubber on, and provide us with the information, it can be added to the database and you’ll be helping other fellow players from everywhere! All you need is a ruler and kitchen scale, although you may need a vernier for the thickness. Whatever information you can provide is useful, even if you can’t take all the measurements!
You can either add a comment at the bottom of this page, or if you’re a member of one of the major forums, you can add it at OOAK forum here or at Mytt forum here. Please provide the information in the following format to make it easy to add to the table:

REGARDING WEIGHT OF BLADES
THE REASON SAME BLADE WEIGHTS VARY, IS DUE TO THE BLADE’S HEAD’S SIZE – IT DEPENDS WHICH COUNTRY THE WOOD CUTTING IS DONE, AS THE CUTTING MACHINES VARY AS DOES THE CAPACITY OF THE OPERATOR. WEIGHTS DO VARY A LOT.
HALLMARK ULTRA LISTS 75gm. ACTUAL WEIGHT IS FROM 68gm TO 82gm.
TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE RUBBER WEIGHT ON BOTH SIDES ADDED, PARTICULARLY WITH THICKER SPONGES – AND YOU GAME GOES DOWN HILL IF YOU DON’T ASK TO HAVE THE WEIGHT YOU NEED. IT MIGHT TAKE SEVERAL MONTH TO GET YOUR WEIGHT IN THE LOWER NUMBERS.IT IS PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT WHEN THE BLADE IS TOP HEAVY.
DONIC PERSSON DOTEC OFF BLADE ALSO VARIES FROM 69gm TO 84gm-LISTS AS 75gm
I MUST STAY WITH THE 70-71gm WEIGHT FOR MY GAME.
WHEN I ORDER RUBBER AND ASK IT TO BE CUT, I SPECIFY-CUT TO THE LIGHTEST BLADE IN STOCK. THE PRECUT RUBBER FITS PERFECTLY WHEN IT ARRIVES AND I GLUE
IT IN MINUTES WITHOUT EFFORT.
I DON’T HAVE ANY “BARE” BLADES AT THE MOMENT TO MEASURE THE LENGTH AND WIDTH,
BUT I WILL DO IT IN THE FUTURE.
Banco / Magic Light / Shake (Flared) / 149 / 154 / 7.0 / 68 (manufacturer standard specification = 65)
Banco is a French vendor’s specific brand (“Wach Sport” – http://www.wsport.com/accueil_ind.php). Quite popular in the area for average players, since their stuff is good enough, if not very fancy, and a bit cheaper than the other Euro brands. I think it is actually manufactured by the same production sites as Tibhar (blades and rubbers).
