    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
    A versatile 7-ply plywood racket beloved by beginners through advanced players. 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.

      Swat display (Experience: ２〜３ years) Insane feel

      Player reviews

      The first blade I ever used was the Swat, and it was easy to play with
      I bought it in Flare but felt something was off, so I switched from the Swat to the Artero

      Super Soul (Experience: ６〜１０ years) Value for money and overall balance are god-tier!

      Player reviews

      I've been using it for a long time now, and since the blade has no quirks, you can swing with confidence. It's not that heavy either, so beginners can use it too. Of course advanced players can get plenty of power out of it as well, so I can highly recommend it. It brings out the rubber's performance well, which makes choosing rubber easy. I use Rakza X Soft on both sides. It's soft, but not too soft, so spin, speed, and control are all easy to manage. The value for money is the best too! I can't think of a reason not to buy it. Give it a try!!!

      A 7-ply blade that leans toward 5-ply, and it's really easy to use. It doesn't bounce too much and holds the ball just the right amount, so I think it works fine as a first blade for beginners. It's also a safe pick when moving up from a 5-ply blade in search of more power.

      Lost in equipment choices (Experience: １１〜２０ years) Cheap, for better or worse

      Player reviews

      A soft 7-ply blade. For the price, its ceiling is pretty high, but the power is about what you'd expect for the price...
      The value for money and playability are good, so if you're curious, I think it's worth trying.
      Personally, I think it's just right for someone who found the Korbel lacking.

      Correction: the Korbel actually gave more power. Sorry about that.

      Ping Pong Man (Experience: ４〜５ years) The best

      Player reviews

      I bought this meaning it to be a beginner blade, but it turns out it also suits advanced players, and I've kept using it ever since. Truly an all-around blade. It really brings out the performance in all kinds of rubbers. Best of all, the design is great too. You'd be missing out if you don't use it!

      Beginners who are out of desk and table tennis (Experience: ２〜３ years) Powerful

      Player reviews

      With more plies, the feel on contact is amazing. It's also great when hitting fast balls.
      However, it's a bit heavy, so I don't think it's great for beginners.
      I'd definitely recommend it for intermediate and advanced players.

      DONG7 (Experience: ６〜１０ years) Easy-to-handle beginner blade

      Player reviews

      A blade that works for everyone from complete beginners to advanced players. Unlike a hard 7-ply like the SK7, this one is closer to a 5-ply feel despite being 7-ply, so it's easy to control. I also think it suits any rubber, from tension to tacky.
