THE TSP BALSA FIBRE GLASS SYSTEM EXPLAINED
A unique structure developed by TSP. The heart of the blade is the central core produced from Balsa cross cut wood using vertically lined wood fibres with outer horizontal plys incorporating fibre glass. The vertical core acts like a series of mini springs and combined with the fibre glass creates an extremely precise and uniform bounce without vibration.
The large deformation of the surface results in a massive sweet spot which in turn gives excellent feeling and control when compared to the dynamic speed of the blade. The lightness of the blade is appreciated by many players.
Each blade features a different millimetre increase in the thinckness of the Balsa core.

TSP Black Balsa 5.0
This Balsa 5 is a very light blade but gives plenty of "Oomph!" for hitting and looping. This blade is an allround blade for me. Perfect for the controlled spin game, has lots of control but needed power when required and a precise and powerful blocking and counterspin game. The 5.0 mm Balsa core veneer provides a perfect combination of speed and control.
Good for the Allround player who likes to attack and defend (by blocking).
TSP Black Balsa 5.0
Very good blade for close to the table play, great control, good for block and push.
Testet with Victas V>01 2.0 and Victas VO 101 1.6 (Short Pips).
TSP Black Balsa 5.0
This is a lovely blade. My version is only 68grams and so very light but it still gives plenty of punch for hitting and looping.
This blade has lots of control but also a lot of power when needed.
I have an anatomic handle which I find very comfortable.
Playing with medium hard, slower spinny rubbers, this is a really easy blade to play pushes and loops and very nice for creating lots of spin too.
