I don't think there'd be that much of a difference between the Fextra, Swat Power, and Xiom Offensive S. All 3 are relatively similar composition, thickness, and hardness (all around 1300-1350hz range in frequency). Not sure about the Szocs.

You might want to consider dropping down to an ALL+ or changing your rubber to something slower.

Only the normal swat. Not swat power.
What all+ you can recommend?

 

[Scarfed Garchomp]

Swat Power is a different blade than Vanilla Swat. Vanilla Swat is thin like a 5 ply blade, sub-6mm overall thickness should make it slower and more flexible than the thicker Szocs and Fextra. I have had a pretty light Swat at 79g, it felt similar to a more solid feeling Stiga Allround Evolution rather than my Offensive S and Stratus Powerwood blades, which were a step up in terms of stiffness and offered a more solid feeling. My Swat I would place around all+/low off- speed, where the Off S and SPW I would put into mid to high off- territory.

I agree that, if fextra is too quick, you won't be better off with BSS or victas swat.
Go look for a 5ply all/all+ blade, I'm thinking a good old allround classic for example.

So normal swat is slower or equal as the others ??

Speed: Swat < Offensive S < BSS

Speed: Swat < Offensive S < BSS

And Swat Power how fast is that blade? And is it good from distance?

What does it mean with S and BSS?

What does it mean with S and BSS?

I think he meant Xiom Offensive S. For classic blades (all wood) Xiom has Xiom Allround S (All+), Xiom Offensive S (Off- / Off) and Xiom Extreme S (Off / Off+). S probably stands for Standard (not sure, I am only guessing).

For BSS, he meant Tibhar Bernadette Szocs Signature 1 (usually called BSS1).

I think "S" means "Speed" in this context but would not discount the possibility of someone at Xiom's marketing department thinking it made the otherwise bland names sound "cool".
