Loki Kirin 5 – Table Tennis Blade

Product Experience

The Loki Kirin 5 is a classic 5-ply all-wood blade designed for control-first offensive play. Built with a combination of Limba outer plies, Spruce inner layers, and a thick Ayous core, it delivers a naturally soft and stable feel with excellent dwell time. This construction emphasizes touch, spin, and consistency rather than raw speed, making it ideal for players who rely on placement and rotation to build pressure.

The blade’s Limba outer plies provide a slightly elastic contact that helps generate spin easily, while the Spruce and Ayous core structure adds stability and a smooth, predictable rebound. The result is a blade that feels very controlled in passive play but still offers enough power when actively engaged.

With its moderate speed and increased holding characteristics, the Kirin 5 supports modern spin-based looping close to the table and mid-distance rallies. It rewards clean technique and timing, making it especially comfortable for players developing structured offensive skills.

Low-Fast Speed (79)
Controlled pace designed for placement, spin consistency, and rally stability.

Controlled Wing Response (+3%)
Slightly sharper rebound in outer areas for improved precision during active strokes.

High Hold-Oriented Tuning (-21%)
Extended ball contact time for maximum spin generation and short-game control.

Key Performance Highlights

Spin-Oriented Control Game
The Kirin 5 is built for players who rely on heavy spin rather than pure speed. The Limba surface and high dwell time allow the ball to sink into the blade, making topspin strokes easier to generate and control.

Stable All-Wood Feel
The 5-ply construction provides a solid yet flexible feel, reducing vibration and giving predictable feedback in both offensive and defensive situations.

Excellent Short Game Precision
Due to its high hold characteristics, the blade performs very well in pushes, drops, and controlled touch play near the table.

Developing Offensive Platform
This blade is ideal for learning and refining modern looping techniques, offering enough stability for consistency while still allowing controlled attacking development.
