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 it from a strong friend, and it really is a bestseller for a reason! It keeps the feel of wood while having just the right amount of bounce — it's wonderful! Since it's so easy to control, there's no technique, like the topspin drive, that feels awkward. It's a blade you can use for a long time, from beginner to advanced. I also like the calm, understated design.

It's incredibly easy to use. It's a blade packed with just about everything good about wood.
The reasonable price is also great
It's easy to get spin on, and chops and pushes are both very easy to do. Flat hits get quite a lot of speed. Though I did feel the distance was a bit lacking when stepping back for topspin rallies.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

This blade gets spin easily and has good speed too, so for me it's the best blade!! And if a middle schooler uses it, the performance is more than enough to last all three years! Plus you can buy it online for around 3,000 yen! Though the smell of the handle did bother me a bit.

A 7-ply blade that feels like a 5-ply. It has no quirks and is easy to use. It's also well balanced, so I think it suits any rubber. It's also light, so I think it's less likely to lead to injury. That said, among people I know who've used it, most of them ended up breaking it, so I don't think the durability is very good.

It's not me using it, but my 10-year-old son, who has 5 years of table tennis experience. It doesn't fly too much and the feel on contact is outstanding.
That said, since it's 7-ply, it's heavy for an elementary schooler, so I search for ones in the 78-82g range and buy them in bulk.I'd recommend it to beginners and to kids working hard in their school club. Since it doesn't fly too much, you can choose from a wide range of rubbers, and you can still get good pace and spin by swinging through properly, so for a student who wants to keep playing table tennis going forward, I think it's good to steadily build a solid foundation with this blade rather than worrying about looks.
My son has Tenergy 05 on both his forehand and backhand — since the blade produces a nice, solid arc, he pairs it with rubbers that fly on a flatter trajectory.
Just about any rubber seems to suit it reasonably well.We've bought and tried a lot of different blades, but in the end he says the Swat is the best.
He competes in the national tournament held every summer.
This kind of performance at such a low price!

When I was a beginner I bought a good-value set with Agrit rubber on both sides, and I've swapped the rubber out a few times since then. My recommendation is Fastarc G-1! Lately I've been thinking about switching my Vega Europe to a V>15. The Swat is easy to hold and just the right weight, so I really recommend it!
