RADAK Clipperwood ST VII 7-Ply OFF+ Table Tennis Blade
Classic 7-ply power, upgraded with selected premium veneers for the modern offensive game.
The RADAK Clipperwood ST VII is a powerful 7-ply all-wood offensive blade designed for players who want a solid, direct response with excellent stability and substantial power behind every stroke.
The original RADAK 7-ply Clipperwood proved extremely popular and sold out quickly. For the latest version, we have refined the construction by selecting higher-grade wood veneers and making subtle adjustments to the blade shape and dimensions to improve balance, feel and overall performance.
Classic 7-Ply Offensive Character
Clipper-style 7-ply blades have long been recognized for their combination of speed, stiffness and stability. Their solid construction makes them particularly suitable for aggressive players who want the blade to remain composed during powerful topspin, driving and counter-attacking strokes.
The RADAK Clipperwood ST VIII follows this proven philosophy, delivering a firm, stable feel with strong acceleration and excellent support when the player commits fully to the stroke.
Selected Premium Wood Plies
The ST VIII is constructed from seven carefully selected wood veneers of differing hardness, chosen to provide the balance of stiffness, feedback and power expected from a high-performance all-wood offensive blade.
The result is a blade with a crisp and direct response, excellent directional stability and enough natural wood feedback to retain touch and precision in controlled play.
Despite its OFF+ speed rating, the blade remains predictable in passive strokes and blocks, while providing significantly greater power when used aggressively.
ST Surface Technology
RADAK manufacturing uses a specialised photosensitive resin surface treatment, cured using a controlled wavelength of light.
The treatment penetrates and reinforces the outer surface of the timber, helping improve surface hardness, durability and elasticity while preserving the natural playing characteristics of the wood.
This also provides a smooth, stable surface for modern water-based table tennis adhesives.
