    The top model of the adidas blade range is clearly geared for offensive-aggressive play. Even with Carbon blades adidas is taking new paths: The high-end processing and refining is focused on providing a maximum of flexibility. Therefore the C500 plays moderate and precise compared to conventional carbon blades.

      Kame-chan 2017 (Experience: １１〜２０ years) A rare, classic carbon racket these days!

      Player reviews

      Discontinued. This is an Adidas carbon blade. I'm currently using it as my "third racket."

      ▼Its distinguishing feature is the thick 2-ply carbon construction, which gives it a lot of bounce and lets you return the ball with real power. I think a softer sponge rubber pairs well with it.

      ▼You don't see "Adidas rubber" in stores anymore either, so I'm using up the stock I had. When I show my racket to people at tournaments, the reaction is usually "that's rare."

      ▼Personally, I really like Adidas's three-stripe design. I'm also a big fan of the Adidas "racket case" that goes with it - it looks great. Even if it's just the shoes and uniforms, I'd love for Adidas to stick around in table tennis.

      ▼I do have one request.
      As you know, wonderful pro-spec equipment from long-established table tennis manufacturers, highly specialized for performance, is great, but
      I'd love to see "major sports manufacturers" other than Adidas get more involved in table tennis too.
      If the player base grows, product prices could come down relatively, and the designs could look cool too. If more accessible equipment became available, I think table tennis would spread among people of all ages and genders worldwide. I want to believe in the table tennis equipment industry's room to grow.
