Wooden Tennis Racket
Wooden Tennis Rackets?
On the wooden tennis racket, there are usually 8 narrow tapes that go around the frame at the base of the head. What are these tapes for? They are too light for weight and too weak for holding the pieces together.
Those tapes came on the wood racket even when they were brand new. They look so weak that I don't see how it can hold anything together. Can they be replaced with some new tape?
I know about the tape at the front of the head to add weight. I am wonder about the 8 small narrow tapes that are at the base of the head,
Many wooden rackets came with lead tape on them that were in fact used to give extra weight to the head of the racket. I did some research and couldn't find any other uses for tape on wooden rackets, so I have to safely say that extra weight is the only logical answer for why the tape is there.

Learn the Brief History of Table Tennis
Table Tennis, also known as “Ping Pong”, is believed to have begun life in Victorian Britain where it became the game of fun for the Upper Classes. 1901 saw a breakthrough in the game when a link was made to celluloid balls and table tennis. The modern table tennis racket was also invented in 1901 and it was these advances in the game that kept it in the public eye and boosted its popularity in general. 1926 saw the foundation of the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) and 1988 saw the games entry into the Olympics at Seoul in South Korea.
The official dimensions of a full size table tennis table are 9 foot long by 5 foot wide but smaller versions are available for the home market and leisure industry. As with most sports, there are international rules governing the size of the balls to be used in tournaments. The ITTF state that the balls must be 40 mm in diameter and just 2.7 grams in weight. The table tennis racket (also known as a bat or paddle amongst others), is a wooden, lollipop shaped bat that will be covered in textured rubber on one or both sides. The ITTF regulations do permit different surfaces to be present on each side of the racket and this allows players to utilise different levels of spin or speed. Competitive table tennis is currently popular throughout Europe and Asia and is becoming more so in America. China has dominated the sport over the last half century although as its popularity spreads, so do the skills of European players.

Kinda depends on what you're looking for. The two are totally different, so it's difficult to compare apples to apples. The Wilson has more pop since it's quite a bit heavier, and its balance is head heavy as opposed to head light, plus it has a smaller headsize, hence a smaller sweet spot. This is a good racquet for a baseline player who doesn't care as much about control. The Head is really light, 9.3 oz. strung, and is head light and has a larger headsize at 107 in. and is a better racquet for all courters and serve and vollyers since it offers high maneuverability and better control. If you're concerned about durability of the strings, I'd stay away from the natural gut – you'd be better off with one of the synthetics, and quite frankly, unless you are a top pro player, you won't notice the difference. 15 gauge is pretty thick string too, you should be getting your racquet restrung at least once a year anyway because your strings lose their resiliancy over time, so using a thinner string won't really make a difference, a 16 or even 17 probably won't break on you with a synthetic.
It's an AWSOME RAQUET!!! I think some players use it, but it's a very professional raquet!!! HEAD'S THE BEST!!!
