hello everyone,
hope you guys are doing well.
I wanted to know if there is any website where we can find which blades are top heavy?
If not can anyone suggest top heavy blades?
Thanks.

Hi Mayank,
Finding specific information about whether table tennis blades are top-heavy can be a bit tricky as most websites do not categorise blades by their weight distribution explicitly. However, generally, players and reviewers often discuss the balance of the racket in forums and reviews.
Hopefully some of our readers can help you out.
Remember, the choice of a blade can be quite personal and depends on your style of play, so it's always good to test out a few options if possible.

Use cybershape with 2mm to max sponge rubbers
This is also tricky because of the weight of the rubbers. Some rubbers weight more than others. I lost over 10 grams when I switched from Yasaka Rakza 7 to Yasaka Rakza 7 Soft. The weight of the rubbers will make the bats more top heavy.

Generally,unless you use two very thin rubbers,ALL bats are top heavy.
If you want to find out,try to balance a blade on your finger or a stick with your finger under the bottom of the blade (the place between the "rubber" and the handle.
If the bat falls on the handle's side,it is NOT top heavy.
Given the general physics,I heavily doubt there is any bat which will fall towards the handle.
The volume of wood in the blade area is always bigger and as far as I know.

The ratio of weight can be also estimated by comparing the blade-handle size ratio.
Blades with large head compared to their handle will be more top heavy.
This majorly includes anatomic handle blades (yes,the very same blade can vary its weight distribution depending on its handle).
Also,try to find blades using Senso technology and similar.
Senso blades have hollow handle,which makes the handle much lighter.
