Many TSP products are still available from Victas 1). Victas once was just a brand from Yamato Takkyu like TSP but they decided to rename themselves 2)

Thx ttarc,

unfortunately, the update of the 6.5 is not the same, referring to revspin.org. I would make a try, if I could get the blade for testing. Same answer to JHB.

Right now, I feel more save with the 6.5 than with my former blade, the 301X.

Now I had the chance to test the direct follower, the (now labeled) Victas 6.5 (https://revspin.net/blade/tsp-balsa-65-off.html) and I have to agree on the comment of "superspin" at revspin. It's absolutely different to the original (https://revspin.net/blade/tsp-balsa-plus-65.html). Even with a H3/40 it felt very bouncy, hard to control. No way for me.

Since a few weeks, I replaced the 6.5 with a Tibhar Illusion Killer. Thats better for me. The balsa core still gives a "tensor" with stronger strokes. And now, my topspin got way more dangerous. Still with H3 BS on forehand, but I returned to the Xiom J&H to my backhand.

Tsp 8.5 not for me, tried it with Joola rhyzen ice and with Glayzer. Found it difficult to brush the ball for looping , but noted it's ideal for someone who likes to drive the ball, has excellent gears and very light for touch play.
I'll be moving it on as it's not suited to my technique or lack of...

Give the Illusion Killer from Tibhar a try, if you can get one. For me, it was a progress, not a hard switch. And with looping, you get much more feeling.
