Description
Overview
The Sunflex Strike bat sits in the middle of the Sunflex range: a step up from a starter bat, but still forgiving enough for players who are developing technique rather than competing. Sunflex rates it in its Advanced class, with characteristics of spin 60%, speed 75% and control 65%, so it leans towards pace while keeping a controllable feel.
The handle is where this bat differs from cheaper table tennis bats. A rounded-edge parabolic shape, concave profile and anatomic ErgoGrip mean the bat sits securely in the hand even when a player grips tightly, which is what most improving players do under pressure.
Key benefits
- More control and feel in a tight grip, thanks to the rounded parabolic handle.
- Firm hold and solid power transfer from the anatomic ErgoGrip.
- Lively pace from the 2.0 mm sponge under TAIPAN rubber.
- Rubbers fitted with stickfix.
- Listed by Sunflex as ITTF approved equipment.
Who it's for
Sunflex recommends the Strike for beginners with some playing experience who want to develop better skill. That makes it a good fit for secondary school table tennis clubs, lunchtime competitions and club players moving off basic bats.
It is not the bat for a brand-new player learning to keep the ball on the table, and it is not a top-end competition bat either. Compare the other Sunflex table tennis bats to place it against the rest of the line.
Care, safety and set-up
Store the bat flat and out of direct heat so the rubbers keep their tack. Like all products from Sports Distributors, it is covered by the 12-month guarantee, and quantity pricing may apply if you are equipping several tables for a school or club.
