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.

It was cheap, so I ended up buying it on impulse. After trying it out, I felt like it performed way better than the racket I'd been using before. Control especially was easy, and it had good power too, so it was very manageable. I think it's a racket that works well for a wide range of players, from intermediate to advanced.

This is my third racket, and it feels really good to hit with. On top of that, it's quite cheap and it's a 7-ply so it bounces well, which I thought was great. I also think it basically works with any rubber. Serves get decent bite on them too, and drives come out clean.

If you're buying it, I don't think the Flare/Straight handles are a good fit for junior high schoolers, for example.
The grip feels like a chopper's racket. Spin is more than enough, and the speed is pretty solid too.
It's stable, so I'd say it's suited to beginners and novice players.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

I was curious about 7-ply blades so I tried this one out just to see... and I was surprised how easy it was to use.
The firm feel on contact perfectly blends a snappy hit with a good grip on the ball, and it's also stable enough not to lose out to the opponent's power, so you get more power while still hitting where you want.
For the short game too, it doesn't bounce too much and gives you a calm, controlled ball. It might have been a good match with the rubber I used, but since I only had half-expectations going in, I was genuinely impressed.
The weight seems to vary a lot between individual units — once I adjusted mine to a total of about 185 grams, both the power and stability felt just right.
If you're interested in 7-ply blades, this one is worth trying since the value for money is good too.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

The initial speed off the blade is just strong, period!!! Even with a rubber that isn't that fast, it stays well balanced and is amazing!!! It feels relatively light, so I think it's better to pair it with a heavier rubber!

The ball bounces off it in a way that's almost fun, and it gives you a dynamic feel that 5-ply blades just don't have.

It has good speed but still flexes, and spin is easy to put on.
Since it's all wood, you don't get that feeling of the ball flying off on its own, so it's easy to control.
And best of all, the price is nice and low.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard
