The TSP Swat is a well balanced, sensitive offensive blade in a class of it's own. The Japanese development team, led by former world class player Koji Matsushita has managed a blade that defines the attributes of feel and quality build again. Through the delicate ball touch in conjunction with the light 7-ply blade, TSP Swat is the perfect OFF- blade for the variable topspin players.

I borrowed this from a friend and hit with it, and it was really easy to use!
This blade is just strong for topspin drives, so I'd recommend it as a first blade for drive-oriented players!!!Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

I used this as my second blade.
As the heading says, I wrapped grip tape around the flared slim handle and used it that way.
This shifted the balance point toward the center, which made it much easier to use.Speed: It puts out a decent amount of speed, but the ball grip is so good that if you play too aggressively it can feel a bit lacking.
Spin: Since it's all wood, it grips well.
Control: The ball grip is really good, and you get a sense that you can adjust the shot as you hit it.
I think it's a perfect fit as a first blade.

It's very easy to use, and I'd recommend it as a first blade for beginners. I think using a hardness of around 42 degrees works well.

Overall, this is a blade with excellent all-round ability. Among all-wood blades it has strong bounce, and it has enough performance to trade shots from mid-distance.
Even so, it also has good grip on the ball and outstanding control (it's especially easy to aim for specific courses during a match).
As for spin, I felt like the blade itself doesn't have that much of an effect. I used to have Hurricane on it, and the amount of spin I get with my current Omega hasn't changed. If you've got the skill, you can push this blade as far as you want.
The feel on contact had that great, resonant, wood-like quality.
If you want more arc, go with Tenergy or something similar; if you want a flatter, more linear trajectory, you can pick whatever suits you from the same VICTAS lineup and it'll work.
This was a blade with ridiculous value for money that you can use from your very first blade all the way to retirement.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

Speed → very fast
Control → a bit tricky
Feel on contact → not much feelThis blade bounces too much for a beginner, but it pairs well with a rubber that doesn't bounce much.
A rubber I'd recommend for the Swat is VICTAS's VJ>07 Regular.
Definitely give it a try.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Soft

I used to have Hurricane Neo 3 on an Exter V, but this one flies more while still being easy to control, so I think it's just right for someone new to tacky rubber.

There's a strong resonance in the hand. It doesn't produce all that much speed, but the grip on the ball is good, so you get solid spin. That said, compared to the Reinforce AC, the balance point is more toward the tip, which makes serving a struggle. If the balance point were more toward the handle, this would be a blade with truly excellent handling. Still, overall, it's a plenty good blade.
