I ordered the TSP Versal blade Monday 4pm and asked Luna to kindly send me the lightest they have. I got my order in Thursday 10 am.
Amazing! They must use "Speedy Gonzales" as their courier

I immediately put on a red Friendship 729 Cream MRS and a black Globe 999 National, husband did a fine job cutting the rubbers with his sharp boxcutters... and viola, around 1pm I was having a hit with my new set-up!

Amazingly fast, my defensive BH chops are going up high and off the table, but when I tried counterhitting I had very good success. This blade is a hitter. There's still a lot of gears that I need to explore but the feel is good.

The blade weighed 69 gm, with the 2 rubbers on, the whole thing weighed about 150 gm. Considering that my previous set-up was 175 gm. this change is very welcome.

Thanks Luna and Alex once again for the excellent service.

Thank you Arlene!

the 69g must be our lightest one as I don;t remember seeing one that light...

Yes for BH chops you may need to adjust, or put on something slower, but you're right this blade is great for hitting!

If it's wasn't for the Globe 999 nat, probably our heaviest rubber, the bat would be a fair bit lighter again... 150g is already very light for a bat though!

Day 2 of using the new set-up and I am still amazed at the speed of my hits. The chopping is getting better too.

I then switched to the Dawei CCK set-up and now I find it sluggish. Anyway, this will now be just a "back-up". The primary weapon will now be the TSP Versal blade.

Because of the light weight of the blade, I can continue to use Chinese rubbers. I am liking the Globe 999 national so I will stick with that one. I am still looking for the perfect BH rubber, but the 729 Cream MRS will have to do for now.
