How heavy do pros like their blades?

I know that there is probably a wide range of blade weights used by profesionals as there is among amateurs, but do they like them heavier overall?

Maybe more training over the years gets them stronger so they can use heavier blades for more power?

Any specific examples of the weight of top players blades?

Avalox told me in an interview that the high level players generally prefer the heavier ones of their blades.

someone post answer from WLQ in chinese, about 95 gram.

Q问:你对于乒乓球底板的重量、厚度和拍面大小有要求吗?什么要求?
王励勤答:有要求,对于底板的重量,我相对喜欢重一点的,大概在95克左右,厚度差不多是在6.0MM左右,拍面的大小没有具体要求,感觉用过的底板拍面基本上都差不多,区别不大,因为进攻型打法的球拍的拍面差不了太多。

Just wondering.
Blade weight does increase with use by 3-5g. This is due to adding sealer and/or repeated gluings.
I always thought that the pros went for weights around 88-90g with the expectation that the weight would level out at about 92-94g with use.
Then again, WBG may not soak into the blades as much as the old glues.

As an aside, I recently bought a Stiga Kjell Johansson pro bat from 68/67. The total weight with edge tape is 157g. Player requirements have changed a bit.Smile
