Donic-Schildkrt CarboTec 900 Table Tennis Racket, 20% Carbon, 1,9 mm Sponge, Champion QRC Pad – ITTF, 758219

Numerous innovative product developments in table tennis date back to the traditional German brand Schildkröt, and not just to the invention of the table tennis ball through the introduction of the Blass Press method for manufacturing the popular celluloid ball in 1896. Donic-Schildkröt now positions itself as a pioneer with the CarboTec racket line again: instead of wood, the blade and grip are made of high-quality carbon for the first time, which is significantly stronger and more torsion-resistant than conventional wood-based constructions. The player experiences a completely new playing sensation and, due to the superior energy reproduction, a significantly faster game is possible for the ambitious leisure player as well as for curious club players when they master the basic techniques of table tennis. Important to know: according to ITTF regulations, a certain amount of wood is required for use in official competitions, meaning CarboTec rackets are a bit ahead of their time and are not (yet) approved for official games. Due to its 20% carbon content, the “CarboTec 900” is practically the entry-level model of this very high-quality product line and impresses with its exclusive equipment in every detail. The innovative “one-piece” carbon construction (no gap between the club face and the grip) is highly practical and characterized by a long service life, it is also relatively insensitive to weather influences. The high-quality “Champion” rubber is equipped with a 1,9 mm thick sponge for a balanced ratio between acceleration and ball control and guarantees excellent grip, so that all playing techniques, such as spin, they can be transferred very effectively to the ball. On CarboTec rackets, the rubber is also equipped with the intelligent “QRC” (Quick Rubber Change) system for changing the pad: this makes it possible to change or update the rubber without any problems, in a matter of seconds and in combination with the high level of robustness and durability of the carbon racket, CarboTec also offers a valuable solution for sustainability. This entire product line was conceived and designed in Germany, and production is carried out under strict quality management. Since it’s market launch, CarboTec rackets have received several awards, such as the renowned Red Dot Design Award and the Plus X Award in the categories of innovation, high quality and functionality. Donic enjoys an excellent reputation throughout the world in the table tennis competition segment and is a supplier to many renowned players.
