This great all-round all-wood blade is designed for loopers and blockers. It is less suitable for power shooting, as there are better choices available for that type of play. However, 7-ply wood blades are better for power shooting and blocking than looping. Despite its focus on looping, the quality of looping with this blade is comparable to the 5-ply Acoustic blade, which is very good.

It is unfortunate that Nittaku has discontinued production of this blade. The feel of this blade is reminiscent of the Jonyer H, offering great spin and control. This allows for the use of soft rubbers (30 and 55 degrees) without compromising performance.

Fast Blade, excellently built. Very suitable with Nittaku rubbers. I have one with Nittaku Fastarc G1 (FH) and Fastarc C1 (BH). There is some flex, which helps to increase spin while fast looping.

The Nittaku Ma Long Seven plays like a slightly more elastic and less stiff version of DHS Power G7 or Tibhar Samsonov Pro Black Edition. In other words, it is slightly less linear, providing higher speeds and throw angles on high-impact shots, yet low speed on touch shots. This makes it a good option for players who want a blade that is slightly faster than a classic 5-ply limba/ayous all-wood blade while maintaining high levels of blade elasticity.

The softer nature of the Ma Long Seven renders it more suitable for rubbers that are softer than the DHS Hurricane 8, such as Nittaku Fastarc G-1, Tibhar MX-P, or Xiom Omega V Tour. This blade is best suited for advanced players who want to upgrade from a classic 5-ply limba/ayous all-wood blade to something slightly faster while maintaining high levels of blade elasticity.
