Blade Performance
Speed Performance
Alpha Dog is made for All-Around players that tend to play the ball close to the table. For those that do play close to the table, our testing team found that Alpha Dog will produce more than enough speed to keep your opponent on defense and allow you to dictate play. For players who farther off the table, a bit more effort will be needed to create pace when striking the ball. That being said, for an all wood blade, Alpha Dog still has the ability to generate solid offensive speed!
Control Performance
If you are looking for ball placement and control, Alpha Dog is a brilliant choice to fit your game. Regardless of if you are looking to use underspin, topspin, or flat shots, placing the ball on the table will be a breeze. Where this blade really sets itself apart from the competition is its ability to defensively control the ball. Players who like to play defense from time to time will immediately fall in love with this blade due to its diversity.
Touch Performance
The soft outer veneer and harder core of Alpha Dog allow players great feel/touch of the ball without losing the capacity to generate speed. Our testing team noted that this wood combination was able to generate a substantially longer dwell time on the blade, allowing our team to really feel the ball on short pushes, loops, and blocks.
Consistency Performance
Alpha Dog really stands out when it comes to its consistency. This is not only a blade for All-Around Advanced players, but because of its consistency and ability to be so dynamic, it is also perfect for newer players looking to increase their skills. When testing Alpha Dog on a robot, our team found it to be extremely efficient in placing the ball in the same spot time and time again.
Product Summary
It is truly amazing how well balanced this blade is. It can do everything… and everything quite well! Our testing team found real no weaknesses in any aspect of its game. Alpha Dog offers a lot of control and feeling, especially when players are blocking or looping near table. The speed is perfect for near-table offensive players. If you are a player wanting a well rounded game, Alpha Dog might be the perfect blade for you to step your game up!
It is almost impossible to beat the versatility of this All-Around (ALL) blade.

This is a really fun blade! I say this because it can literally pull off any shot. It isn’t super fast, but it is extremely accurate and great both close and far from the table. I am absolutely loving this thing!

I don’t know much about different blades. It mentioned that it was good for all-around play and newer players looking to increase their skill, so that’s why I chose it! I can say that compared to cheaper paddles I’ve used in the past, this one has a nice weight and feel to it. Coupled with the perfect rubbers, it has been a very comfortable and effective blade so far!
Hey Christopher! That is fantastic news to hear! We are happy to hear that it was a perfect fit for the custom paddle you made! Come on back soon!
Great combination for spin and control, high speed is possible with proper footwork and a solid stroke. The application of the rubber to the wood blade is flawless.
Hey Jim! Thank you so much for the kind words. We really appreciate it! We hope you come back soon!
