The “Waldner 800” from Donic-Schildkröt was developed in Germany and is a racket of absolute top quality for ambitious recreational players and regular hobby play. Based on the high-quality “Tactik” wood, this racket is equipped with the competition-adapted “ERGO Handle” technology: this rounded handle construction sits significantly better in the hand than conventional classic rackets and avoids pressure points on the index finger. The ITTF-approved Vari-Slick rubber from Schildkröt ensures good grip, i.e. spin acceptance and good transfer of all other playing techniques to the ball. The relatively thick 2.0 mm sponge offers optimal power for quick plays, so that the Waldner 800 provides a lot of fun to a large target group, from ambitious beginners to club players. The “Adjustable Balance Point” technology (“ABP” for short) built into the handle allows for individual adjustment of the center of gravity of the racket; in just a few simple steps, the balance point can be varied as follows: head-heavy = more power or handle-heavy = more ball control & spin ( synonymous with spin acceptance).
