Shubhangi Chuhadia designs the Nimbus, which is a weight-altering table tennis racket. The more weight that is added onto the Nimbus, the more control that it allows. The ability to alter the weight creates better gameplay and can also be replaced with a tracking module to help measure racket trajectory for post-game analysis.
The Nimbus racket is made with an ergonomic mindset with its streamlined structure that transitions from its grip to the paddle. The grip has a hollow slot that has space to insert a weight. The Nimbus is made from titanium and the weights range between 2.5 to 5 grams. This allows players to choose the weight that best suits their gameplay and training.
