The "Dima Ovtcharov 800 FSC" by Donic-Schildkröt is a very comfortable table tennis racket from this forward-looking Series. All TT Bats in this series are made of FSC certified wood, sourced from controlled sustainable cultivation. Ideal for ambitious recreational sports and regular recreational players, this model is equipped with a high-quality wood and handle, the ITTF-approved champion rubber from Schildkröt provides very good grip and transfers the spin very effectively on the ball. 2.0 mm thick sponge provides a high level of power, faster ball speeds with the same force. The ERGO handle with a rounded, flowing transition from the handle to the blade sits much better in the hand than classic bats and avoids pressure points on the index finger, which also allows the fastest possible switch from forehand to backhand (and vice versa), a clear plus in fast table tennis duels. Also, the PLS technology ("Power Light System") is immediately apparent: thanks to the transparent lens which you can see through the hollow bat grip. This design makes the racket lighter and more top-heavy, resulting in a very comfortable handling and optimized power. The built-in "AVS" (anti-vibration system - 2 shock-absorbing PU foam inserts underneath each of the two handles) between the blade and the handle noticeably reduces vibration, allowing for fatigue-free play with plenty of control. The Ovtcharov Line of the market leader Donic-Schildkröt is dedicated to Dima Ovtcharov, who is the # 1 best player in the ITTF world rankings (status: JAN 2018).
