    Fast Speed, 7 ply blade, Limba, Samba. Weight: 90g

    Remake of the legendary Rossi Viva blade. Excellently balanced and constructed with 7 layers for extraordinary spin. This is a great offensive blade at a great low price.

    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    This 7-ply blade is highly evaluated for its excellent control and ease of use rather than attacking power. It is recognized as an ideal choice for beginners and intermediate players seeking reliable shot execution.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Excellent operability and control performance
    • Exceptional ease in short-range ball handling
    • Relatively lightweight and easy to handle
    • Ideal for beginners to intermediate players
    • Particularly recommended for doubles play
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveThe good feel of non-bouncy characteristics is realized, with excellent operability being the main feature. Short-range ball handling is very easy, and the relatively lightweight design makes it easy to use.
    ▽ CriticalThe grip is somewhat small with a thin width, which may not suit players with larger hands.

      This feels like a 7-ply blade with good control. It doesn't generate crazy spin or speed, but it's easy to use, so I'd recommend it for anyone trying a 7-ply for the first time, or for beginners and lower-intermediate players! Just be aware it might not be a great fit if you're switching over from a special-material blade.

      A great blade that's very similar to the Stiga Clipper, Butterfly SK7, and Mazunov Legendary Blade. It has a kind of pure, refined feel, so I'd recommend pairing it with a softer control rubber. Joola Xplode Sensitive, Yasaka Rakza 7 Soft, Calibra Sound, and Victas Limber all work great with this blade.

      The classic 7-ply blades are things like the Swat, SK7, Extra 7, the 7P-2A series, the Clipper series, and the Ovtcharov Senso V1, but I think the VIVA (Rosskopf VIVA) is also an excellent 7-ply blade.

      In a word, it's a blade where you can really feel the virtue of not bouncing too much.

      Its best feature is good maneuverability (including control), and the short game is very easy to play. I'd especially recommend it for doubles.
      Also, since it's relatively light, even if you put max-thickness spin-oriented tension rubber on both sides to cover speed and spin, it still stays in the 170g range, so I think it's easy to handle.

      One thing that bugs me is that the grip is a bit small (narrow), so it might not suit people with large hands.
