2014

Victas Dynawood is a unique table tennis blade that masterfully blends modern performance with classic wood feel. Its proprietary Dynamic Wood Technology integrates countless thin wood fibers into a 7-ply construction, creating a larger sweet spot and enhanced stability typically found in composite blades. Made in Japan, it delivers a responsive, tactile experience perfect for players who prioritize control, spin development, and precise placement in their offensive game. This blade offers a versatile balance, making it an excellent choice for intermediate to advanced players seeking a high-quality, all-around weapon for controlled topspin play.

7-Ply Construction

The blade features a symmetrical 7-ply construction. It uses a 5-ply wood core, which is then reinforced on both sides with a layer of specialized wood fiber. This specific layering—wood, wood fiber, wood, wood, wood (core), wood fiber, wood—is the physical implementation of the Dynamic Wood Technology, designed to enhance stability and sweet spot size.

Speed

Victas Dynawood delivers a lively and balanced speed suitable for controlled offensive play. Positioned in the ALL+ category, it provides enough pace for effective attacks without being overly demanding. The integrated wood fiber plies contribute to a responsive feel, offering adequate power for loops and drives while maintaining a foundation that prioritizes consistency over sheer velocity.

Control

Control is where the Dynawood truly excels. Players report amazing predictability and ball feedback, allowing for precise placement and consistent rallies. The blade's construction and Dynamic Wood Technology create a stable, forgiving platform that instills confidence, making it ideal for players whose game revolves around tactical spin and accurate shot-making.

The Dynawood offers a medium-soft, very good feeling on contact. Our testing shows it retains the desirable tactile feedback of an all-wood blade, providing a nicely coming feel that is both comfortable and informative, allowing for a great connection with the ball during strokes.

Throw Angle
Medium-High
LowMedium-HighHigh

The blade facilitates a medium-high throw angle, which is ideal for offensive topspin play. This characteristic helps create a good arc over the net, making looping and spin generation more effective while still allowing for controlled, precise shot placement.

Dwell Time
8.5

This blade provides a long dwell time, which is a key factor in its spin-friendly nature. The construction allows for large ball retention, giving players more time to impart heavy spin and feel the ball on the rubber, enhancing control and the quality of topspin loops.

Flexibility
7.0

The blade exhibits a medium-flexible character, described as elastic. This flexibility contributes to its good feel and aids in spin generation, allowing the blade to flex slightly upon ball contact for a catapult effect that supports dynamic, spin-oriented offensive play.

Vibration
5.0

Vibration feedback is moderate, striking a pleasant balance. The blend of wood and wood fiber plies creates a stable, controlled feel without being overly harsh or completely dead. This results in a satisfying playing experience that provides enough feedback for touch shots without distraction.

Quality
9.0

Crafted in Japan, the Dynawood exhibits the high-end workmanship expected from Victas. The materials and build quality contribute to a premium, durable product that feels solid and reliable. This level of craftsmanship ensures consistent performance and a blade that can withstand the rigors of dedicated play.

Technology

The heart of the Victas Dynawood is its proprietary Dynamic Wood Technology. This innovation involves integrating countless, extremely thin wood fibers into the blade's core through a complex manufacturing process. The primary goal is to imbue the blade with composite-like benefits—specifically a significantly larger sweet spot and enhanced stability for consistent power—while meticulously preserving the natural feel and tactile feedback of a traditional all-wood blade. This technology is what allows the Dynawood to offer both finesse and dependable performance for offensive players.
