Everyone asks about the life of rubber but what is the life of blade. How long intill i starts dropping in performance or until it starts cracking and breaking.
Hi Darien,
Blades can last a lot of years. I had my last one for 21 years. They do get softer but they don't deteriorate like rubbers. I would say that you can definitely use the same blade for 3 to 4 years without any problems.
They only crack if they are hit hard against something like a table.
Make sure you buy a table tennis bat that is suitable for your level and allows you to develop your technique. For your first bat we recommend the PingSkills Rook, and when you upgrade to a custom bat we recommend the PingSkills Touch with Mark V or Rakza 7.
