Sanwei Defence Alpha

this is my favourite chopper blade.120g without backhand and forehand rubber stuck.when chopping,very stable and can generate heavy backspin.

Yeah, quite a good blade for defending since it has a straight handle, also good for twiddling. I feel I do have great control. Very good for lobbing and smash defence.

Nice value-for-money blade for modern defenders. Has more flex and is softer outer layers compared to other chinese DEF-blades. The core is hard and vertically aligned, which means the woodgrain is not bottom-up as usual but from side to side. Touch is nice with plenty of control. Backspin is heavy. Return is not as flat as other modern defense blades, but still quite flat. Backspin is heavy. Enough power for occasional attacking. Same head size as Butterfly Defence Blades - 165x156cm. Handle is nice and slim - good for switching forehand and backhand. This blade is definitely not a copy odlf Butterfly Defence Alpha. Nice workmanship - however, you need to make sure you get a proper one since there are variations in production. This is also reflected by heavy variations in weight. There are blades with 107g out there.
