About Tomahawk Next Generation
Der Materialspezialist Tomahawk Next Generation is a 2024 5 table tennis blade made in Germany. It is ITTF-approved, classed allround-plus (ALL+), and uses an all-wood layup with no synthetic fibre — more dwell and a clearer wood feel.
Factory figures: typical weight 54 g, thickness 7 mm. Handles listed: Flared (FL), Straight (ST), Anatomic (AN). Construction label All wood (5). Active allround play with an offensive bias is the intended game.
Combined index: speed 87, control 98, stiffness 74 (official mapping 87 / 98 / 74). All-wood blades in this speed band are usually chosen for dwell and placement rather than raw kick.
Community score 8.5 / 10 from 10 reviews. Indicative European street price €69. Compare Tomahawk Next Generation with other all wood ALL+ blades on TableTennisReview.

Handles
Handles listed for this SKU: Flared (FL), Straight (ST), Anatomic (AN). Handle shape does not change the ply recipe, weight class or Combined index.
- Flared (FL)
- Straight (ST)
- Anatomic (AN)
- Flared (FL)
- The usual European shakehand handle. The flare fills the palm and locks the blade in; it does not change the ply recipe.
- Straight (ST)
- A straight handle is easier to rotate in the hand — the usual pick for combination rackets and some two-wing loopers who change grip mid-rally.
- Anatomic (AN)
- An anatomic handle follows the palm. Same wood as FL/ST on the same SKU; pick it if that shape already fits.
