The Donic-Schildkröt Protection Line S500 is a durable table tennis bat built for training, with improved spin control for schools, youth clubs and recreational play. An edge protection system, ITTF-approved Elite rubber and a 1.5mm sponge give good control, balanced speed and enough spin to learn the fundamentals.
Key Features
- Protection system with extended edge tape – prevents rubber peeling and surface damage, a common issue in public and school settings; extends the bat's lifespan and protects the sponge and base layers from knocks and wear.
- ITTF-approved Schildkröt Elite rubber – smooth, pimples-in surface for consistent spin and ball control.
- 1.5mm sponge – a balance of speed and spin, suited to beginner to intermediate players learning topspin and backspin.
- Five-ply blade – basswood and poplar layers for stability, control and moderate acceleration.
- Concave handle – the popular concave shape sits naturally in the hand for better handling and less fatigue in long sessions.
- Black finish – a clean, modern look.
