OSP Virtuoso+

Compared to the original Virtuoso, this is a bit stiffer and harder. This results in a noticably faster blade, and it gets the edge in blocking and hitting. The V+ is just as well made as the V, and has a great balance unless paired with really heavy rubbers. So, if you tried the V, but wanted more power and a harder feel, the V+ is the answer. And OSP's ELCON handle is so, so comfortable...

This blade is something which I could write on for hours about. Lets start by saying per my experience it is the best feeling blade out there. Im not a tester or a reviewer, just a player who has a technical approach to the game, but i've tested some blades, and almost always could pinpoint the reason, as to why it acts the way it does. However here, I was completely baffled when I first tested it. My previous blade was Yasaka Sweden Extra, which had already quite a good feel and control, however the V+ took it to the next level. I can do everything. It is wayy faster than the Extra when I want it to be, but at the same time it has wayy more touch and control when I want to, allowing execution of some totally wicked chop blocks and drop shots. It greatly increases your spin on all the shots, adding it almost automatically, however if you want, you can play dead as well. Its really hard to explain, but the way I feel it, this blade is almost a direct connection between my will and the ball. It just does everything. There are no "why did I miss" moments. If I miss, I can cleary pinpoint the exact error i've made. I highly recommend trying out this blade. If you have any questions, my revspin inbox is open to your messages.

This blade is beautiful, aesthetically speaking. The finish, especially on the sides and edges of the blade, are the best I've ever seen (most of my personal blade experience is with Butterfly products made in the mid 2000s). I purchased this blade because I wanted something with more "wood feel" than my Michael Maze, but with similar overall playing properties. Also, I wanted something that would be considered a step up from a blade like the Butterfly Korbel (which I used for many years). I had never played with an OSP before this blade, nor a Nittaku Acoustic/Violin, which I considered the metric for highest quality all-wood blades - in the end, I decided the handmade aspect of the OSP added something over the Nittaku. The handle shape (I chose FL) is very comfortable, and while I've only played a few hours on the new blade, the finish of the handle allows for excellent grip after my hand gets sweaty. The feel and control when hitting the ball is really the highlight of this blade, which is a step above anything I've ever felt before. As expected, it is slower than many blades out there; however, in the grand scheme of things, it's still quite fast. I cannot imagine the speed of the blade negatively impacting performance until at least USATT 2,200+ play - but this is just hypothetical since everyone plays and values things differently. For me, the feeling and feedback you get from this blade adds an additional positive component to the entirety of the table tennis experience.

i bought two of these. it is quite a fast ALL WOOD blade with good control. i was using Nittaku ALL WOOD blades before this and to my pleasant surprise, this has replaced my very expensive Violin and Tenor. very well balance blade for looping.

For me is better than tehe normal version. Very good spin and control. The speed is off. Faster than popular Butterfly Korbel. My favorit blades are DHS Hurricane King and this.
