Alser

Alser refers to 'Hans Alser' blades, vintage table tennis equipment associated with the Swedish table tennis player and coach Hans 'Hasse' Alsér (1942–1977), who had blades named after him, likely produced by manufacturers like STIGA.[2][3][4][6] These blades, such as the Hans Alser allround wood, were popular in the 1960s and 1970s, with mentions of rackets featuring Alser branding alongside rubbers like green 3-star Cobra or Yasaka Mark Five.[2][4] It appears to be a historical player-endorsed product line rather than an active modern brand, with no current market presence or official operations identified.[2][3][6]
