  • Hino-Carbon Power

    User review

    Switched from the Swat Power. With this blade, I found it easier to attack backspin balls than with the Swat Power. I think that's probably because the ball leaves the blade faster. My net mistakes decreased. On the other hand, my overshoots increased, but I was able to fix that with practice. That said, a fast rubber on this blade is too much for an average player to control. It's a good fit for people who can put in a lot of practice time. It's on the flying side, but spin is easy to generate. The top ply is hinoki (Japanese cypress), so it holds the ball a bit longer than I expected (by "holds" I mean more than I thought it would). For average players, rubbers like Donic's Acuda pair well with it - the power and spin are very well balanced, and my win rate went up. The Blue Fire is uncontrollable, so I'd avoid that combination.

  • Swat Power

    User review

    I was using the Altero and wanted to keep the blade light while still getting more power, so I picked the 85g SWAT Power. At first it flew too much and control was tough, but after a while I got it under control. It's a completely different blade from the regular SWAT. That said, it still holds the ball reasonably well, and despite the speed you can hit drives with fairly high spin. Smashes are easy to hit too. One issue: when re-gluing rubber, the top ply tends to peel at the edges. Also, after about a year and a half of use, I felt the power had dropped a bit (note: this is just my personal impression). Since the peeling got worse and my coach recommended a blade with more power, I've now switched to a special-material one.

    I used this with Intro on the forehand and Rigan on the backhand of my Artero, looking for more stability. I was able to hit topspin drives with a good amount of extension. Smashes were also easy to hit. Since it doesn't fly too much, blocks land on the table well and mistakes are reduced. It does lack a bit in terms of power, but it was great for getting out of a slump. I also think it's good for beginners who are just starting to step up their game.

  • Fastarc P-1

    User review

    Very easy to use on the backhand. Backhand drives are easy to hit. It's easy to vary between speed drives and loop drives. It grips the ball well and is easy to control, plus it generates a lot of spin. Mixing speed drives with loop drives made my opponents' blocks either sail long or crash straight into the net, and my backhand drive became a real scoring shot. It's also easy to stop the ball with. Blocks are surprisingly unaffected by the opponent's spin too. I think the lifespan is relatively long as well. That said, the topsheet is a bit soft, so on the forehand I feel like some power gets lost. For a while, P-1 looks like it'll stay on my backhand. I just wish it were a bit cheaper...

  • Rakza X Soft

    User review

    I used it on both sides of a Swat Power for a while. With a light touch it doesn't fly too far, so short-game play is easy. Also, when you hit hard, it generates a decent amount of speed, so I think it has good consistency for keeping the ball on the table. It also puts good spin on the ball. That said, once your swing speed picks up, you might feel like the power doesn't transfer as well when you hit hard.
