Small (Experience: More than ２０ years) Perfect for attack and defense with long pips Verified Purchase

This blade has a somewhat subdued bounce, but unlike something like the All-Round Classic that emphasizes flex and holding the ball, it's a bit harder and releases the ball quickly with a crisp feel.
Because of that, it's a blade where blocking against long pips is easy to keep controlled, while still being able to produce plenty of variation.
True to a 5-ply blade, the ball tends to launch a bit upward,
and it has that solid, firm feel that's characteristic of Swedish-made blades.
As Ma Lin used back in the day, it doesn't pair badly with tacky rubber at all, and combined with a modern tacky tension rubber, you can get plenty of offensive power.The hard feel also makes meet-hitting easy, so this would be a great blade for elementary/junior-high students or female players using an unorthodox-rubber-plus-smash style.

This is a blade that's powerful yet easy to use. It's not the type that bounces like crazy, so receives and the short game are easy too, which makes it appeal to just about everyone. Recommended for intermediate players looking for real destructive power!

I use it with Rigan on both sides. It doesn't have much bounce — once rubber is on it, you honestly don't feel much bounce at all. If you put a tension rubber like Glayzer, Dignics, or Tenergy on a Swedish Extra, you won't get the full performance out of it, so I'd recommend a carbon blade instead.

Masamune (Experience: ６〜１０ years) A bit lacking for attackers

It's apparently the same as the "Gasian Extra" that once ruled the world, but for today's generation of attacking players it might not have enough bounce.
Even so, I think it's aimed at beginners, so it should be good for anyone who wants to start playing table tennis on a budget.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

Vietlegend (Experience: １１〜２０ years) The most valuable, underrated blade

This is a really excellent all-wood 5-ply blade. It's made in Sweden and costs only about 35 euros.
Don't underestimate this blade. It's a control monster that handles every all-round technique. That said, pair it with a hybrid rubber like Yasaka Rakza 7 or Rakza 7 Soft, and the spin and speed get a huge boost.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

hose (Experience: ２〜３ years) Felt harder than expected

Performance-wise, speed, spin, and control all feel good.
That said, my impression is it bounces more than expected.
I love the arc that Rakza 7 gives, and I've been using it for a long time,
but at first I didn't get the arc I expected, and my shots came out flatter and more linear.
I think this suits players who like to hit with a firm, snappy stroke rather than relying on arc.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

This gear has a lot of hidden control potential, so it meets all kinds of needs, whether you're using tension rubber or short pips.
