OOAK Table Tennis Forum

We've recently had a few threads about Soulspin, the German custom blade maker that completely customise the handle to suit your hand. You can read more about Soulspin here: http://www.soulspin.tt/en/soulspin.html

Some of our members have had some very good experiences with the company, so in order to find out a little more about them, as well as giving them some well-deserved exposure, I asked them for an Interview, to which they kindly agreed!

Quote:

In our factory, each product is custom made- something special.Even in the manufacture of veneers, we differ from conventional production methods: we cut our veneers from natural wood. With this innovation, we are able to obtain valuable sawn veneers with properties that far outshine the previous standard.

The further processing in the preparation of our high-quality plywood is done with technical expertise and modern methods, where we exploit the natural features of the various woods, and work with these to get the best possible results from the natural product in terms of its play characteristics.

Our ergonomic three-dimensional handle shapes are created using the latest CNC technology.Your table tennis wood is subjected to painstaking quality control throughout, from the careful selection of the raw wood to the completion of the final product.We use only the highest quality materials, and combine advanced technology with careful craftsmanship to respond to your requirements with a top quality product.

If you have questions and would like them included, please post them here!

I'm interested in their rubber P12
1) Is it designed to be a direct Tenergy competitor? - if so which one - T05? Or more like a Tensor? - if so which one is closest?
2) Will there be a choice of sponge thickness and hardness? Some of us like to play with soft sponge
3) On the SS website, it says the overall (sponge + topsheet) hardnesss is 52
degrees. Won't that vary depending on the sponge thickness? (if we have a choice).
4) Any testing feedback so far?

Thanks Spartan62, I'll include those!

Anyone else?

Can you tell us if Soulspin will be introducing any more composite blades in the future. The Basalt was an excellent blade, but I would like to have something more along the lines of a Butterfly Viscaria, only with the perfect Soulspin handle.

1. looking on your website at different blades i can say that every blade is build with passion . how does Soulspin develop a new model of blade ? how do you test and and reach the conclusion that your " newest blade " will perform with the maximum level of speed and control , while retaining it's superb aspect and quality ?
2. can we expect in the future to get the shop and the shop configurator in english any time soon ?
3. what top players have you worked with ? can you share to us some names ?
4. how is Soulspin encouraging the newer generation of table tennis players ? have you had the chance to support a local table tennis event in order to raise the local awareness regarding table tennis ?
5. i have only heard about Soulspin recently , mainly because the market is packed with big table tennis competitors , like Butterfly , Stiga , and even big german companies like Donic , Tibhar , Andro . how do you manage to stay competitive ?
6. are you making blades from special/exotic materials ( rare type of woods , expensive composite materials like kevlar and others ) for special edition blades ?

Q: I've noticed that your rubber - P12 - is dual-branded under Nittaku. Is this just to avoid ITTF fees, or are you planning to come out with a set of rubbers entirely under your own brand name?
