The 729 Ebony 5 is a classic 5-ply all-wood offensive blade from the Friendship/729 lineup, designed for players who want a crisp, penetrating feel with balanced speed and control. Built with carefully selected wood veneers—including ebony outer plies paired with inner plies such as ayous and spruce—this blade delivers a firm, precise contact sensation that enhances looping, drives, and placement shots. Its construction emphasizes direct feedback and stable trajectory, making it a dependable choice for both developing attackers and intermediate competitors. Featuring the dense and hard nature of ebony on the outer layers, the Ebony 5 blade offers a solid, punchy impact feel with good energy transfer. This results in a blade that can generate speed on offensive strokes while retaining enough touch for controlled play. Whether performing mid-distance loops or executing fast counter-attacks, the 729 Ebony 5 provides consistent performance and reliable ball response. The balanced all-wood design makes it versatile for a wide range of playing styles, fitting both forehand-dominant attackers and two-winged loopers alike.
