Sanwei Parla

I never thought a $30 blade could be so good. I had Nittaku acoustic carbon inner and realized it was too stiff for me. I was not able to "process" the ball before it left the racket. It did not give me enough dwell time - the blade required better stamina. Sanwei Parla has an outstanding dwell time yet is fast enough for power loops and kill shots. It's somehow similar to Stiga Clipper, with a but gives a lot more stability and consistency.

I really liked it; it’s better than Korbel, both the regular one and the Japanese one, in terms of control; it has slightly more speed. It’s better than SK7 — it’s not as solid, there’s a slight vibration, there’s much more control, and the speed is slightly less. Overall impression is that this board is of a much higher class than all the ones listed above. I used STIGA MANTRA M and Yasaka RAKZA 7 Soft. The total weight with the tape is 183 g, which is ideal. The blade size is 150?×?157.5. The handle is very similar to Butterfly Viscaria.

The Sanwei Parla offers lots of control and is about All+/Off- in terms of speed. Based on a very useful dwell time the feeling is just great and nicely supports spin generation. I play the Parla with Nittaku Factive rubbers (2 mm) on both sides. It´s a joy to play with this stick. For comparison, the Tibhar Nimbus All is a bit faster and stiffer and thus more demanding to play with.
