Victas Black Balsa 5.0

Blade is too light. It weighs only 56g!

I am a wheelchair player in class 3, so I play close to the table and need to have a light wood so as not to fatigue my arm. I found this wood to be lovely. It shouldn’t be super fast, rather it needed to be more controllable. Actually, it seems to be both. I mean, when you passively accept the attack, the wood is helping you control it (helped by a nice fractioned elastic). But when you decide to hit the ball, then wherever on the surface you hit the ball, the orbit of the ball is so accurate! I fell in love with this wood.

If you are in the market for an exceptionally light blade, look no further; you will not be disappointed.

It’s perfect for defense.

I have played over 100 games with this bat/blade and I am very happy. It has a very consistent sweet spot and has given me more confidence in the game. Overall, I would recommend this to anyone who plays a lot of table tennis.

I’ve been using this for only a few days, with two DHS Skyline NEO 2’s, but this racket is holy crap light, and so easy to quickly move anywhere I need it to be, but the downside is it’s fairly slow, when I’m blocking and pushing, and I have to get used to that, because it’s amazing when I smash.

I can accelerate this racket so fast, it’s not even funny, so that’s all I have to say about it.

Yes, I know this is the middle ranged blade, for all-round, but hey, it’s pretty slow, for my taste.

TLDR: Slow, but very light and maneuverable.

Good control, light weight all-around blade.
