Victas Award Offensive

Lightweight and easy to handle, the blade is beautifully made. It provides good speed, good control, and good feeling. The blade is suitable for push, block, and topspin.

I got an 83-gram blade and paired it with Rakza 7 on the forehand and Aurus Soft on the backhand.

It works perfectly with tensor rubbers, such as Xiom Vega Pro Max Thickness on the forehand and Yasaka Rakza Z Max Thickness on the backhand. This blade is suitable for all players and offers good control and speed. For its price range, it remains unmatched unless you opt for a Yinhe/DHS blade from AliExpress.

It rates at 844hz and works perfectly with euro-tensor and Chinese rubbers.

I was using Xiom Vega Pro max thickness, but then I switched to DHS H3N 2.15mm FH and Yasaka Rakza Z max thickness BH.

Good for all players, it has good control and enough speed, nothing special really.

Good blade. Speed is closer to off- than off+, lightweight.

Very good blade. Great service. Thanks, Tabletennis11.

This is a really good all-around blade with a very nice feeling. I have used a lot of different blades but this one is special, feels more balanced (not head heavy) than most of the other ones I have tried, including Zhang Jike ALC, Timo Boll ZLC, Stiga Rosewood NCT VII, Stiga Rosewood XO, Yasaka Ma Lin Extra Special, etc. The TSP Reflex-50 Award Off has perfect weight (85g) and feels very comfortable (FL handle). Good for blocking, both passive and active block. Very good control in the short game, serving is also good. Loops are easy, topspin’s with a nice arc. It’s perfect near the table and okay at mid-distance, with enough speed. I bought three blades and I have combined them with different setups of rubbers which all have worked very well, among them are as follows; DHS Goldarc 8, 47.5 (2.0) on FH and Donic Acuda S3 (2.0) on BH. Tenergy 05 (1.9 on both sides). Also tried Nittaku Fastarc G-1, Rasanter R37 (light), R42, R47 (heavy), Gewo Flexxon FX, Gewo Hype EL Pro 40.0, Gewo NanoFlex, etc. and they all worked well in combination with this blade. A really good blade which will last for many years for beginners and intermediate players who want a controlled offensive blade.

Standard feeling for a 5-ply offensive blade. Good finish. Needs strong glue to attach rubber due to smooth surface. Small head size.

All in all, a very good blade with a low price. Recommended.

Great paddle! Plays well!

I just played my first tournament with this blade, and I was quite satisfied. This blade is fast enough to end the point, but has great control too. For a semi-hard blade, it has a soft feel due to the foam in the handle.

If you are looking for good control, defense, and offense, this blade is a good choice. I like the blade so much with Xiom Omega IV on my FH, and Tibhar 5Q on my BH. It helps improve my game, particularly in the aspect of blocking, since the blade is quite light (80 grams).

I have been using many blades (Butterfly Timo Boll Spirit, Yasaka Ma Lin Carbon, Andro Treiber K, Andro Treiber H, Andro Treiber Z, Stiga Clipper Wood, Stiga Offensive Classic) and I found out that this TSP Reflex 50 Award Offensive is the best blade with excellent speed, control, and feeling. My coach is using this blade for her professional table tennis career, which is why I recently bought it, and I am very happy that I did after spending lots of money on other blades. The handle of this blade is very nice in size. I’ve got a straight handle which is 23 mm wide. The blade is quite light as well (mine is 78 g). This blade is 5 ply all wood, but I am very surprised that it is very fast and because it’s all wood, it’s very controlled. It’s very hard to find any other blade which is both fast and controlled like this TSP blade. I am also very surprised that it’s very cheap with the best quality. I will buy 2 additional ones whenever it’s back in stock.

Best for attack and control.

Very good quality blade, and the cost is good as well.

Bought this as a spare blade. Quality and finish are okay. Ended up selling the blade as the handle was too short for my hand, which is on the larger side.

Very fast blade paired with T05 on both sides. Well balanced also. The only issue is regarding the glue process because the blade is very smooth and it’s difficult to glue rubber. Maybe it’s easier with thicker glue.

Excels at most everything and only struggles with hitting flat balls. Great dwell, great speed, great feel, and can do almost anything in any form that you give yourself. Blade will make you a great player if you have the strokes down and are able to put it all into action. Would buy another one again.

Good base, still getting used to it. But compared to DHS with the same rubber, it’s lighter, and the sound is more pleasant. Partners say that the game has definitely improved. I recommend it.

Good finish, good feeling blade. Speed is fine for a light 5-ply wood. Very good price. Highly recommended.

Отличное основание.

It’s my first blade, but it seems to lack power, even though it has carbon layers and is a bit heavy for my taste. However, those might be caused by my rubber choice (729 Xi EnTing).

When going for power shots and longer range, it does perform quite well.

My current competition blade includes Yasaka Rakza 7 max on FH and Joola Express 1 2mm on BH. This assembly is OFF, but control is excellent. Yasaka Rakza 7 is the most difficult rubber to stick with water glue that I’ve found so far, so I used a non-standard glue that somewhat softens the hard outer layer of the blade and allows for controlled topspin and smash without losing velocity and without the need for much flex in the blade. Overall, TSP R50A Off is an excellent quality/price option (thanks to TT11 Weekly Special price) for an OFF-/OFF tactics. As always, TT11 provided impeccable service and offered free “Christmas” DHS delivery. Thank you.

I normally buy from a reputable local dealer who has good prices, but still has to charge double because he gets his TSP equipment from a different source.

I first heard about this blade when learning that Australian star player Miao Miao used it. I was a copycat and bought one locally with the same pips rubbers she used. It was awesome. High-quality manufacture from TSP.

I later switched to inverted rubbers (heavy these days) and found these blades too heavy.

Now that I’ve got RSI from playing with a 200g bat, I have switched to using this TSP blade but with pips on the BH and lost 18 g. I have used pips in the past so the change was ok. I like having a combo bat and attacking fast from close behind the table.

A practice partner said that after we’ve played as few as 4 balls in a rally, the spins get mixed up badly and he suffers. The pips I use are short (Spectol 21 offensive - the new Spectol version), but they are also deceptive and act a bit like long pips, easily turning backspin into light topspin. The result is that the ball drops off the bat of opponents who stand close to the table, and when they back off, I can easily play dead dropshots with a soft pips touch.

I use smooth rubber on the FH for looping and the Spectol for fast BH attack. This is a good combination.

I’m a BH player, so I am not covering up for a weak BH by using the pips. I don’t suggest you do that. The pips tend to give the ball a straight-line trajectory, which means that it’s easy to net the ball or hit it straight off the table. The inverted rubber is much easier to use, but unfortunately easy for your opponent to play against.

I’ve given up a BH loop by using the pips on BH, but play a fast BH game instead, being a speed player more than a spin player. My current TSP bat, from this site that I’m reviewing, is 160 g, which is lighter than avg and fine for me. Very satisfied customer. I still make sure to specify the weight of blades before buying, so saved a few grams. I find 5g makes a noticeable difference. I bought the rubbers from this site, the inverted one being Tibhar Evolution. The earlier model Tibhar Nimbus Soft works well on this bat too, and is cheaper and lighter. Very satisfied customer.

Blade has good feedback and is lighter. Factory machining had two issues on the handle (the cuts at the top angled off the edge on both sides). Also, the grips were thin, the grips in the photo look much larger.

But a good blade and provides little vibration. Great price!

This is by far the best racket I have ever played with. The special handle technology does work. Although the racket’s estimated weight is 85g, without specifying I got an (about) 75g racket, which can be a little light based on the player. I compensated by using heavier Chinese rubbers.
DHS Skyline 3 1.8mm

DHS Hurricane III 2.0 mm
Great racket, the price is more than worth it :) From the USA!!.

TSP - хорошая фирма, но данное основание сделано не в Японии.

This blade feels best for near-table playing. With lightweight Yasaka Rakza7 or slowish DHS Hurricane2 rubbers, this blade fits an all-round style.
The feel is quite sharp and accurate, but can also be used for looping quite well. To change this racket faster and make the looping even better, I will put Xiom Sigma Europe rubbers on it. I have found Sigma rubbers to be the best for me and have used them in different kinds of blades, therefore I know beforehand that their feature combination will complement this racket to my playing style.
