    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.

    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary

Its excellent control and ball retention are highly evaluated, achieving top-tier cost-performance in this price range. While speed is somewhat moderate, its high versatility allows compensation through rubber selection.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Excellent control and ease of hitting to desired locations
    • Good ball retention inherent to wood and easy spin application
    • Exceptional cost-performance usable from beginners to advanced
    • Good compatibility with a wide range of rubbers
    • Wide sweet spot providing excellent stability
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveGetting this quality at 5,000 yen is amazing. Despite being 7-ply, it has excellent spin performance and works with both hard and soft tension. It's a racket you can use from your first racket until retirement.
    ▽ CriticalSpeed is somewhat lacking, and intermediate players may find the performance insufficient. Personally, I didn't like the wood's feedback feel and eventually felt it retained the ball too much, so I switched to another racket.

      TI (Experience: ６〜１０ years) A truly all-round blade

      Player reviews

      I switched from a Jun Mizutani ZLC to this Swat. The first time I hit with it, I thought, "wow, it actually gets this much speed normally!" Honestly it was only 4,500 yen so I wasn't expecting much, which made it even more surprising.
      As for the feel, I can now easily vary the power on both my forehand and backhand. It's more than good enough on the attacking side! Though for counters and blocks, maybe because I'm running Tenergy 05 on it, it felt a bit too hard. I think putting on a slightly softer Tenergy 80 would balance it out nicely.
      Overall, I think it's great because it can be used widely from beginners to advanced players. It's also priced affordably, so I really think it's worth trying!

      Loves table tennis (Experience: １１〜２０ years)

      Player reviews

      Works well with pretty much any rubber
      The short game is quite easy to play, and it's easy to put spin on the ball
      The grip has a slightly shaved-down feel to it, which makes chiquitas and drives over the table a lot easier

      Former table tennis club member (Experience: ４〜５ years) A TSP masterpiece

      Player reviews

      I bought it cheap as a practice blade.
      The feel makes it seem like the ball holds on the blade, but the ball actually leaves fast, which is typical of a 7-ply.
      The bounce is moderate, so it's easy to get a feel for your own strokes, and control is high.
      For the price, I think it's a very well-balanced blade.

      Player reviews

      It has moderate bounce and high control, so I think it suits a wide range of players, from beginners to intermediate/advanced.
      It also gets high marks for working well with pretty much any rubber!
      I think it's a blade you can use for a long time.

      Want to change to 15; V & lt (Experience: ２〜３ years) A blade that lasts

      Player reviews

      [Value for money]
      The best.
      [Topspin drive]
      You get crazy amounts of spin. (though it varies a bit depending on the rubber)
      You can also do more of a flicking-style drive.
      [Block]
      The sweet spot is wide so it's easy to make contact.

      Player (Experience: ４〜５ years) Outstanding control

      Player reviews

      Control is outstanding! The sweet spot is wide, so you can control the ball no matter where it hits. Depending on how you use it, both power and speed are excellent too. It also matches well with pretty much any rubber, which is great! If I had to say one thing, it's a bit heavy. Also, for an all-wood blade, it has a lot of rebound.
