Victas SWAT

I changed from a 729 Blue Advance ALC (too heavy, too thick) to this blade with two Fastarc G-1 2mm rubbers.

You can do everything with this Asian bestseller blade. I understand why: very good dwell time (incredible, all my topspin shots land on the table with all the forgiveness in the world!), can finish when needed, and blocking is easy.

I eventually found my perfect blade.

That’s a 7-ply “Off” categorized blade and I was expecting a little bit of vibration and a fine speed with good control. But that blade is a little too weak for the plastic ball era. I like vibration, but that’s just too much. I love Nittaku Ludeack, and I thought Swat would be similar, but it’s not. It’s slower, and that’s not a problem; the problem is the feeling. It feels mushy and vibrates too much. I didn’t like it….

I like this blade. It’s light, has a nice handle, sounds good, and retains control.

Madero TSP de muy buena relación precio-calidad, buen control y velocidad, a pesar de ser de 7 capas no es para nada pesado. Lo uso con Tibhar MX-P, gran combinación.

Got this blade in FL, and am playing with short pips (802-40) on the forehand and inverted (Tibhar mx-s) on the backhand. It allows for some excellent loops on the backhand, but still has the wherewithal to hit very “crispy” hits with the pips. The finish is high quality and the blade looks great from every angle. The picture shows it to be highlighted in pink, but it’s more a reddish color.

Despite the speed and spin it provides, it still has excellent control and allows me to play a very good short and passive game. The wings make it a little difficult for twiddling sometimes, but I fixed that with some fine grain sanding. Compared to other 7-ply blades, the blade weight isn’t very heavy at all. I prefer for my blades not to be 90g like the Clipper, so this is a plus.

All in all, a high-quality and affordable blade. I highly recommend it if you play FH pips out.

Great blade.
Good control with enough speed!
I play it with Vega Pro on the backhand and Nittaku G1 on the forehand.
I like the feeling of this blade; I can feel the ball hitting the racket.

Excellent speed and control. Much better than the carbon blades I tried.

Good blade, nice control.

Having a great balance of speed and control, perfect for beginners and not only for them. :) Feels good in the hand, I simply love it.

Not heavy. Beautifully made. Good feeling, not too fast but definitely not slow. Feels stable. Really allows the user to do what they want.

7-ply wood blade with incredible control and feel. Perfect blade for spin play and great for short pips on the backhand.

Perfect for everything!
