Haven't tried a P700, but I've read that if a bt777 and p700 have the same weight, they Should be about the same in speed. P700 has the meranti in 2nd layer that might make it slightly more direct. But I've read that bt777 should have a couple more higher gears when looping. Some says one is faster. Others says the other one is, even though p700 is slightly stiffer. So I don't know.
Neither bt777 or W7 feels as stiff and direct as Clipper as far as I remember. Speedwise I can't remember. But according to my head, the throw is lower.

My 82 grams BT777 is a bit faster than my 87 grams P700
Edit: ooops sorry, I did not realize this is an old thread
Hello, I can relate something to Yinhe 537 and W7. I play with the Clipper WRB every day, and I have been looking for a slightly faster alternative for some time - I like the medium hardness of the clipper, but I wanted more stiffness. I just tried the Yinhe 537s and in my opinion it is quite similar to the Clipper but faster and harder. However, years of playing Stiga mean that I have to devote a lot of time to changing the base, i.e. the board. I also recently bought Falck W7 and to be honest, I don't like it at all. In my opinion there is no stiffness at all! Some people write that it is stiffer and faster than Clipper. Absolutely. This can be seen with flat hits. You need to put in a lot more strength to finish the ball effectively. I haven't tried Falck Carbon, but I tried something similar to the innerforce Yinhe 970 XXA and I don't like it either - lack of power in my opinion for direct, non-topspin hits. Well, Mattias plays a lot of shots without rotation, so maybe this is a good blade for such purposes. Thanks.How could you compare Yasaka Falck W7 and Yinhe pd 437?
What do you think of your new blade?

My thoughts on the Falk W7 86g after the first day compared to Nittaku Acoustic LG 81g.
What I wanted from the Falk W7:
- a blade with a larger sweet spot, something more solid and stable for driving/looping at mid distance when the speed picked up.
- I was at the point where I could consistantly hit with full swings using acoustic and wanted a little more speed but not so much that I would hesitate, then stiffen up from missing the table.
The Falk W7 achieved these goals very nicely and agree with comments about having nice speed and control balance.
Additional info:
My glove size is medium and the handle feels great.
The ec/ep numbers at TTgearlab.com are 0.8 acoustic and 0.81 Falk W7, so the level of hold is almost identical. This number according to ttgearlab is the most important and when they are close between two blades, the transition is easiest.
Following are the performance indices of Yasaka Falck W7 (avg.weight = 85.3g) :
– Ep = 1.65
– Ec = 1.34 (Ec/Ep = 0.81)

I'm happy with these.
Thx for the update, I'm glad you like your new Falk W7 blade.
Sounds like it's the same upgrade i'm thinking about, and I get that you feel it fulfilled your desire for a bit more power.
Would you say there is any downside at all from switching from acoustic to Falk W7? Is anything feels less good then before?
Thats good info. Im glad you got the power upgrade you were after with a familiar feel. A concise report like this can really save other people a lot of money. This blade is not that common, so it may fly under a lot of peoples radar. Carbon def has its merits, but it cant compare to the feel of wood.And @Nash77
