Wood for ping pong racket?

Posted on July 13, 2010 by admin

If i am to make my own ping pong paddle, what type of wood should I use for the blade? for the handle?
Also, does it matter how many plies there are in the wood?

Ping pong paddles are usually made of laminated wood. I don’t think it matters how many plies there are either. But I think it’s usually 5 ply :)
