OOAK Table Tennis Forum

We are proud to present you the new series of blades called "ITALIA"; the first PEFC certified frames in the world, designed and produced entirely in ITALY with Italian wood from the forests of Trentino.

Hours and hours of study and testing to achieve a perfect balance between environmental sustainability and sporting performance at the highest levels.

The first-born was ITALIA ALL a 5-layer all-wood blade with great control and sensitivity that opened the doors to us to obtain the PEFC certification which then promoted it internationally: Artte Blades: PEFC-certified table tennis rackets made in Italy - PEFC - Program for the Endorsement of Forest Certification.








The following video, created by PEFC Italia, tells the story of this project that was strongly desired and born above all from the passion for table tennis, for the love of craftsmanship and respect for nature.

REALY NICE LOOKING, but pricey! The Italia Allround seems to be in my weight range (76g) but is way out of my PRICE range.

We are aware that our blades are expensive but we are also aware of all the attention and care that we put into the handmade realization of our blades.
We only use selected top quality materials.
Each layer of wood is made up of a single piece and not glued for example.
We don't want to sell much but sell quality, both in terms of play and aesthetics.
We hope that one day you will become one of our customers.

Ciao!

I've noticed your blades popping up on the Stervinou TT database for quite a while now. Very interesting compositions!

I'm curious, is Artte more leaning in towards the premium material, detailed workmanship direction, or the technical, measurable, objective side like what the Koreans are doing?

There is room in my collection for both.

Do you have any plans on custom-made services?

Mind you, I'm not complaining. There is definitely a place in this world for nicely crafted blades which sell at high prices. No sense in trying to make CHEAP blades.. it'd be hard to compete against the likes of Sanwei and 729 anyway...

Iskandar

It depends on what you mean by personalized.
If it is to produce a blade with a composition of the woods of your choice we immediately say no, because all the blades that come out of our laboratory must be tested and comply with our parameters.
If, on the other hand, your personalization is intended as a touch up in the size of the handle or plate or some writing we can evaluate.

Yes, indeed their prices for a world of craftsmanship like the Italian one are impossible.

The blades are probably really good but the shipping costs are prohibitive. 37€ from Italy to Sweden is insane.

Unfortunately the shipping costs from Italy are high, we are aware of it but we cannot find it at less cost. (The cost of shipping also includes insurance)

However, we can ship with the customer's courier, without problems.

We have customers all over the world who send couriers at their expense to collect the blade at our laboratory; just report it when ordering.

When the blade is ready we warn you and you can send your courier to pick up the package whenever you want.

We can't do more than that.

It seems Italy does not support exports for tt at least.Behold the Chinese !! they can compete against any country as the State sponsors shipping. The same thing happens in Spain, lots of € out of the country because it is cheaper to get anything from China and on top of it all, shipping for free.Something should be done but people look after their personal economy and I, being a proud member of my country, have to send money abroad to make the Chinese richer.You can only look and wonder!!!! .

Italy, Spain,..... are also famous for corruption..... sorry to admit this fact !!

Congratulations on making a balsa blade that weights 95g. I don't know if to laugh or to cry

We can't understand your statement because we don't find any relationship between the use of Balsa and the final weight of the blade.

We believe your problem is due to the fact that you are limited in thought, that is, that you associate balsa wood only with its lightness and neglect all the other technical characteristics, especially mechanical ones of balsa wood.

If you want answers, ask all those customers who have purchased and continue to buy the MANTRA blade or even all those who have purchased INTRIGO.

We invite you to try the MANTRA blade but only if you are ready to tame it, open your mind!
