The vast majority of rackets manufactured today use graphite in one form or another as the base ingredient. Graphite is the technological generation’s equivalent of the trusty laminated wooden racket that was so popular until about the 1970s. Graphite is remarkably strong for its relative light weight. It provides terrific power, as well as good control and feel for the ball. But graphite is best in a composite mixture with any of the various thermoplastic and Fiberglass type resins used today. Boron and Kevlar are the two fibers resemble graphite, but boron and Kevlar are even lighter and stiffer than graphite. These materials are strong, enabling you to hit with a lot of power.

The table tennis racket is usually made from laminated wood covered with rubber on one or two sides depending on the player's grip. Unlike a conventional " racket ", it does not include strings strung across an open frame. The racket may be of any size, shape or weight but the blade shall be flat and rigid. At least 85% of the blade by thickness shall be of natural wood; an adhesive layer within the blade may be reinforced with fibrous material such as carbon fibre, glass fibre or compressed paper, but shall not be thicker than 7.5% of the total thickness or 0.35mm, whichever is the smaller. A side of the blade used for striking the ball shall be covered with either ordinary pimpled rubber, with pimples outwards having a total thickness including adhesive of not more than 2.0mm, or sandwich rubber, with pimples inwards or outwa...
