Black Storm The lightest blade

There's no other racket out there this light.
Since it uses balsa wood, the feel is kind of hollow and airy.
It bounces pretty well for how light it is.
Seems like a good fit for fast-attack players who stick close to the table.
Also, the material is really fragile, so it breaks easily if you knock it against something.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Soft

I've been using three Versal CHN blades, swapping out the rubbers. It's incredibly light and switching between forehand and backhand is fantastic. The grab-and-release feel on the ball is strong - the only downside is the thickness. Among the blades I own, in terms of speed it goes SWAT Carbon CHN, Ma Lin Extra Offensive CHN, then Versal CHN, but I think it pairs well with fast, tension-type rubbers. The short game and value for money are also strong points. Oddly enough, my win rate with it is actually higher than with the SWAT or the Ma Lin, so I can't put it down - probably thanks to the good control and the arc the ball draws.

This is one of the lightest Chinese penhold rackets out there. The bounce is good too. That said, since it's made of balsa wood, it's incredibly fragile. If you've been struggling to swing through with a heavy Chinese penhold blade, this or the Black Balsa could be worth trying.

This blade is just really light❗
Its speed performance is on the low side, but I think it's great for developing control and the feel of driving the ball yourself‼
So while it'll probably feel lacking for experienced players, I'd absolutely recommend it for beginners‼
Definitely consider this as your very first blade!Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Soft

It's just really light — the one I bought came in under 60g. I think that's plenty for a small child. They can still swing a heavier one, but it seems to tire them out quickly, so lighter is definitely better. Speed and spin are both moderate. The feel is a bit soft, and the ball leaves the blade surprisingly well. I think it lets a kid develop both the feel for spinning the ball and for driving it. There is a durability issue for sure (the plies on ours started coming unglued), but it ended up working out in a way, since it led to "oh, you're starting to hit the ball better now, guess it's time for a new one."

Monitan. (Experience: １１〜２０ years) The only good point is how light it is

When I started playing Chinese penhold, I just really wanted an ultra-light blade, so I bought this.
However, the only good point was that it's light — beyond that, the feel is hollow and empty, and the shots come out weak, so it just didn't cut it.
Also, probably because it uses balsa, the blade is fragile and falls apart quickly.
So if you're like me and just want a really light blade, I'd say it's safer to avoid this one.
The one possibility I can think of is that it might work with something like long pips or other irregular rubbers.
Overall, my impression is that it's more of a defensive-style blade.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Soft
