Friendship/729 Green Goblin 5 Table Tennis Blade

The Friendship / 729 Green Goblin 5 is a 5-ply all-wood offensive table tennis blade designed for players who prioritize spin quality, stability, and controlled attacking power. Built with a reinforced pure wood construction featuring a hard core, Ayous inner plies, and Black Ebony outer plies, this blade delivers a crisp yet elastic touch, clear feedback, and strong ball-holding capability—ideal for continuous loop-based offense.

The use of high-density Black Ebony on the outer layers gives the Green Goblin 5 a more solid and direct impact compared to softer outer woods. This results in a cleaner ball release, improved shot stability, and a lower, more penetrating arc, while the Ayous layers and elastic structure preserve sufficient dwell time for heavy topspin generation.

Compared with carbon or composite blades, the Green Goblin 5 emphasizes spin consistency and rhythmic attacking control rather than raw stiffness or explosive speed. The ball stays on the blade long enough to allow confident brushing, controlled acceleration, and precise placement, making it highly effective in topspin rallies, controlled counter-loops, and pressure-based offensive exchanges.

With a thickness of approximately 6.5 mm and a balanced weight of 86 ± 5 g, the blade offers a solid yet lively feel, suitable for intermediate to advanced players who prefer the natural feedback of wood combined with the firmness of a hard outer ply.
