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'm using this as my first blade.
It's a 7-ply, but it's still easy to use. And it matches well with all kinds of rubbers.
It's a really good blade.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

This blade matches well with pretty much any rubber (except for choppers).
There's nothing to lose by buying it, and it's cheap too, so definitely give it a try.

At an average of 85g, it's a bit heavy, and the feel is also a bit on the firm side, so unless you can swing through it fully, you might find it doesn't have much pop or bounce. But once you can swing it properly, hard shots go plenty far, you get good spin, and blocking is stable too, so unless you're playing at a level with mid-to-back-court topspin rallies, I think it's a really manageable blade. Given how good the performance is, it's amazing that you can buy it at a shop for 4,000 yen. There's quite a bit of variation between individual units, so if you can find one with the weight and feel that suits you, I think you'll be able to keep using it for a long time.

I picked this as my second blade after getting back into table tennis after a long break.
Compared to my first 5-ply, the weight went up, but even with max-thickness rubber on both sides, it's not too heavy to swing through. If you hit it firmly it has decent pop, the spin is about average, and control is especially easy.
I think this is an ideal blade for anyone who values stability.
Why not give it a try?Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

This blade is recommended both for people who've gotten used to table tennis and for people using it for the first time.
I play an unorthodox attacking style, and this blade is easy to attack with — it brings out the tension performance of my Aggrit, and the long pips rubber on my backside, a Curl P-3aR soft, also flies off the blade nicely. It's a good blade.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

This is just a good blade, you know?
It really doesn't have any weak points.
It has plenty of bounce, but it's also very easy to control and handle.
And being a 7-ply, you can hit with decent power and still get plenty of spin on the ball.
On top of that, the feel is solid, and it really is an all-around blade in every sense.
Writing it out like this might make it sound like it has nothing that particularly stands out, no defining feature, but that's not it — rather, it's a blade where pretty much every aspect stands out.
That said, it might not suit someone looking for sheer, over-the-top power to end the point in one shot.
I'd recommend it to people who want to play a stable game, people who want to get into topspin rallies with decently powerful shots, and people looking for a more defensive style of play.
I don't think many people would buy this blade and feel like they made the wrong choice.
Definitely give it a try.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

Just like the title says. I'm currently using this as my main blade. It has good bounce and gets plenty of spin, so among 7-ply blades it's really well balanced and easy to handle. Thinking about it that way, the value for money is almost too good lol
I think it's a great blade whether as a second blade or as your main one.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard
