Avalox - Table Tennis Blades for Champions!
Benefits to you:
Great ball feeling and Control:
Top players know that ball feeling and control are much more important than speed. Anyone can hit the ball hard, but if you want it to hit the table you need the high control and high spin qualities of a great all-wooden blade, and this is where Avalox produces some of the finest table tennis blades on the market.
More Spin with plenty of speed when you need it:
Most Avalox blades have a soft feel and a little bit of flex, which enhances the ability to add more spin on your loops, which not only gives you more control, but it also makes it harder for your opponent to handle! The blade is not fast on soft contact, giving you higher control for playing short and pushing, but once you start hitting harder you'll feel the power of the blade, giving you plenty of gears for an offensive game!
Great Value:
Many top players in the world still use Avalox blades, and if you look at the pricing of world class blades that are actually used by the Pros, you'll find that Avalox is among the cheapest. These players choose Avalox because of the high performance of the blade, not because they were sponsored by a high profile manufacturer! Since Avalox doesn't spend millions of dollars on advertising and promotion, they can offer much better value blades to the users.
Why Avalox?
Avalox AVX has been a top manufacturer of blade since the late eighties.
In the late 1980's the Swedes were dominant in the world scene of table tennis, and produced (and used) some of the world top blades, produced by manufacturers like Stiga and Donic. Economic policies stopped the Chinese from obtaining these blades, and since the Swedish blades were considered the best, a new company was formed between Swedish, Japanese and Malaysian companies called Avalox, which gave them access to the top Swedish blades.
Unlike many of the other major brands, who have gone 'hi-tech' and/or into mass production, Avalox/AVX have retained the unbeatable feel of wood, and make small production runs with tight tolerances, to ensure every blade retains the characteristics that makes their blade special! Have you ever tried an old Stiga blade and heard people say "they don't make them like that anymore"? Well Avalox do still make these types of blades, and have continued to make the same blade used by several world champions!
Many of the top Chinese players choose Avalox table tennis blades, and some of the big names like Liu Guoliang (p700 pengrip), Wang Tao (P700), Johnny Huan, Kong Linghui (won '95 WTTC with Avalox P500), Wang Nam and Ma Wenge use the Avalox blades, although sponsorship restrictions with other manufacturers may prevent them from using them today.

Which Avalox blade would suit me?
Below is a summary of the Avalox / AVX blades, to help you choose the one most suitable for you. Avalox blades combine well with a wide variety of rubbers, so you should gain the great benefits of the blade regardless of your rubber choice. Feel free to contact us for advice on rubber choices.
AVALOX P500 SERIES
Offensive , Made in Sweden
The AVALOX P500 is a fast 5-ply blade. A hard, paper thin outer ply guarantees excellent touch, while a strong second ply generates speed. The soft center provides the springiness so much enjoyed by top spin players. Kong Ling Hui won his 1995 World Championship title with this blade.
AVALOX P700 SERIES
Offensive + , Made in Sweden
The AVALOX P700 some may remember Wang Tao throwing it high into the air after clinching the World Championship for China in 1995- combines the massive speed of the other Swedish- made 7-ply blades with distinctly lower weight and a feel that rivals some 5-ply blades. Solid contact, maximum power and marvelous touch.
BLUE THUNDER 550
Offensive - , Made in Sweden
The AVALOX BLUE THUNDER 550 has been called "The dream blade". With the increasing realization that in the modern game fuller contact with the ball leads to a high speed, some players found that they didn't need as much speed from the blade, but could benefit immensely from a more distinct trampoline effect and the higher racket speed made possibly by lower weight.
The 550 gives you all that- and more.
BLUE THUNDER 555
Offensive , Made in Sweden
The AVALOX BLUE THUNDER 555 is the direct descendent of the Avalox P500. Very similar construction achieve a similar feel. The 555 is tuned to be slightly springy and a few grams lighter. The blade of the BLUE THUNDER line are sealed to facilitate removal of rubber without pulling up fibers from the top ply.
BLUE THUNDER 777
Offensive + , Made in Sweden
The AVALOX BLUE THUNDER 777 introduced a new concept to the construction of 7-ply blades. While maintaining the desirable characteristics of solid contact and high speed it adds a slightly higher amount of flex. The results is an extremely fast blade that still provides the touch necessary for a controlled topspin game.
AVX V1
Allround
The AVX-V1 is a relatively fast allround wood. While it is squarely aimed at the allround player, it is slightly tuned toward spin. Its classic 5-ply construction gives it the solid controlled feel required for the precise play, yet allows generating substantial pace.
AVX MA WENGE CARBON
Offensive +
The AVX MA WENGE is the company's first carbon blade. Throughout our history, our focus has been development of relatively fast blades that provide excellent touch. Until recently, carbon blades provided the speed, but failed to offer the touch we required for our products.
With the development of the MA WENGE, we have succeeded in manufacturing a blade that has the carbon related benefit of speed and firmness while offering low weight and a touch that rivals pure wood blades.
AVX J - Tech
Offensive
The AVX J-Tech is a part of a new breed of blades. It takes the best characteristics of top rank 5-ply wood construction and combines it with the legendary touch of the highest quality Japanese Kiso-Hinoki wood. The result is a fast blade that gives up nothing in control.
AVX J - POWER
Offensive +
With its outer ply made of the highest grade Japanese Kiso-Hinoki wood, the AVX J-Power produces extremely high speed, but due to a long dwell time it also allows loopers to produce powerful top spin.
AVX J - ARAMID
Offensive
The AVX J-ARAMID is the company's first Aramid-carbon blade. The tightly woven Aramid layers add speed to the 5-ply wood construction while controlling excessive vibration. The top-ply, made from the finest Kiso-Hinoki wood, lends a soft touch to this powerful combination.
AVX HADO
Offensive , Made in Japan
The AVX HADO is one of the first -ever- 9-ply Hinoki blades. All plies are made from the rare Kiso-Hinoki wood, grown only in Japan and harvested under very strict conditions.
The nine plies of this soft, precious wood interact to achieve a surprisingly soft touch. A long dwell time allows a top spin stroke to "hold on" to the ball, which produces an extreme amount of spin, reminiscent of fresh glue effect! The Hado is made by Japanese master craftsmen.
AVX TAISHI
Offensive , Made in Japan
The AVX TAISHI is constructed in the same way as AVX HADO with 9-plies of super-select Hinoki wood from Japan.
Unlike multi-ply blade made from other woods, this blade has a very soft touch and makes it especially suitable for the two winged Chinese penholder style. The Taishi is made by Japanese master craftsmen.
AVX ASUKA
Offensive ++ , Made in Japan
The AVX ASUKA is an all-out attack blade in the long traditional of Japanese 1-ply Hinoki blade. The wood has to be very carefully selected to be appropriate for this type of blade. One solid piece of this rare wood gives it an extremely powerful, punchy feeling. The correct wood selection and careful construction is performed by specialists in Japan.
