The high-end OFF blade! The TSP Balsa 7.0 is the perfect material for any power attacker. The 7.0 mm thick Balsa core produces all the power and speed you need for your attacks, without neglecting control and reliability.

Chinese rubber (Experience: ６〜１０ years)

I've got tacky rubber on the forehand and tacky tension rubber on the backhand. I used to use Innerforce ZLC and Super ZLC, but maybe thanks to a faster swing, the ball leaves the racket quicker than with my old rackets. I underestimated balsa rackets. I'm going to keep using this one from now on.

To (Experience: ６〜１０ years) Being this light is amazing...

I wasn't planning on switching rackets, but I ended up impulse-buying this one, and it ended up taking over as my main racket from my Acoustic Carbon.
It's just an incredibly light, high-rebound racket.
Because it's so light, I can swing fast, and when blocking I can get the racket to the right spot faster too, so it's an upgrade both offensively and defensively. Other reviews mentioned it's hard to put spin on, but for me, since it's light, I can use my wrist more easily, and I've gotten to where I can put a huge amount of spin on my serves. Man, being lightweight really is amazing.
Before I bought it, I was warned things like "since it's so light you might get overpowered by your opponent's shots," but that's not the case at all. To begin with, unlike tennis, the ball itself is light in table tennis anyway.
The only thing is the feel — maybe it's a balsa characteristic or the blade thickness, but it's a bit muted, not crisp.
I'd been interested in it for a while, but I didn't expect it to be this good. I wish I'd bought it sooner...
I feel like from now on I'll only be buying balsa plus special-material rackets. Now I'm curious to try andro's balsa racket too...Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

Both hand pendora (Experience: ２〜３ years) Feels like an SK7 with carbon added

This is my second one. Compared to the SK7 I used before, it has more speed — it feels like an SK7 with carbon added, both in speed and feel. On top of that, the control is really high too. It's also light, so it's super easy to use, and it's cheap, making it a racket with outstanding value for money.

I use a Chinese-style penhold.
I play short-pips fast attack.
The speed is better than ever, it's fantastic.
This racket is recommended for close-to-the-table fast-attack players.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

I use Hurricane on both sides and it works great.
Next I'm thinking of trying National Hurricane NEO3 with blue sponge.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness hard

I use it as a shakehand. It works totally fine even with tacky rubber on both sides. It bounces more than a 7-ply wood blade and still generates spin.
With the Black Balsa 7.0's bounce and Hurricane's spin, it's become a winning combo.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness hard

I use it as a shakehand. I paired the lightweight racket with Tenergy to make a real rocket setup.
