SANWEI Froster EX-C – Table Tennis Blade

Product Experience

The SANWEI Froster EX-C is a high-performance 7-ply Arylate-Carbon (ALC) blade designed for offensive players seeking an excellent balance of speed, spin and control. Its 5+2 construction combines Koto outer veneers, Arylate-Carbon layers and a Kiri core to deliver powerful attacking performance with a comfortable, controlled feel.

Often compared to the legendary Butterfly Viscaria, the Froster EX-C offers a similar offensive character at a more accessible price. However, it feels softer and less crisp, making it appealing to players who prefer a more forgiving response. While it may not match the Viscaria’s maximum speed, it excels in spin-heavy topspin rallies, counter-looping and controlled aggression.

With a predictable response and a medium-high throw angle, the Froster EX-C helps players generate heavy topspin while maintaining confidence in fast exchanges. It pairs well with both tacky Chinese rubbers and modern European tensioned rubbers.
