The TP_LIGNA DEF features a 5-ply wood composition, combining carefully selected outer limba and inner kiri layers based on thickness and quality. Limba, used as the outer layer, delivers a soft yet lively impact feel, enabling precise ball control and powerful backspin. Kiri wood in the core adds lightness and stability, minimizing vibrations and enhancing feedback. This structure results in an outstanding control rating of 107 – essential for defensive players performing blocks, chops, or other technical strokes both near and far from the table.

Engineered for players who prioritize control and stability, the TP_LIGNA DEF allows precise ball placement even in challenging situations. With a moderate speed rating of 78, it ensures shots remain controlled yet dynamic enough for tempo variation or surprise counterattacks. A larger blade head enhances ball feel and provides players with extra confidence when executing shots from different ranges. This is especially advantageous when defending away from the table, where accuracy and stability are crucial.

The TP_LIGNA DEF embodies the TP_LIGNA series philosophy – premium quality from start to finish. It includes an ergonomic 3D handle made of carefully selected natural wood, crafted with the finesse of violin-making. The handle is available in two defensive player favorites: straight (ST) and flared (FL). Both options ensure the blade feels like an extension of the hand, reducing fatigue and improving shot accuracy during long matches. Weighing around 80 grams, it’s lightweight and agile for quick reactions, while its finely finished surface guarantees a consistent bounce and superior feel.

Constructed purely from wood without composite materials, the TP_LIGNA DEF offers a natural, harmonious feel. The limba outer plies provide elasticity and spin, while the kiri core delivers lightness and stability. The blade’s design reduces vibration and expands the sweet spot, ensuring precise shots even when contact isn’t perfectly centered. A larger blade surface enhances control, making the TP_LIGNA DEF an ideal choice for defenders who need to trust their equipment whether blocking at the table or defending from afar.
