1700+ rated UK player so take the review accordingly.
Haver tried many blades including TSPBalsa 8.5, TB7, Stiga Master, tibhar IV-L IV-S, joola Rossi Extreme, Patrick chila, joola k4, with multiple rubbers. Majority have been 1.9mm +
Whilst I've had varied success, I gradually started to use slower and slower Chinese rubbers to try and get some technique and proper strokes. I got to a stage where I liked them feel off this blade with Sanwei Gear Nano rubbers. Provided great control but just lacked that additional speed over the table. Probably more my technique tbh. However I had some advise and just tried Tenergy 64 in 1.7mm on my backhand. Feels really comfortable and controlled. I actually was hoping that the off- blade would counter the speed of the rubber and it's struck a lovely balance. After having spent lots of money on more expensive blades, this cheap blade is actually more than good through for me. I've put on T05 2.1mm on the forehand and whilst it feels fine, i think I may also reduce that to 1.7mm the next time I change. Have always wanted to try the thinner rubbers and I'm glad I've done it now.
The blade actually felt good with Sanwei Gear and also with Big Dipper, but the lower throw off T64 seems to pair nicely whilst still retaining speed. I'll update my review after 3 months to see if I feel it's changed at all.

The 3 middle wood layers clearly reflect the reaction between each force and counterforce. This helps the blade release feedback quickly to the incoming ball, while the carefully selected supporting wood layer easily delivers a high-quality looping effect on fast attacks.

Maybe one of the 7ply with best touch/feel of the ball outta here. I love this blade with medium soft rubber. A lot of control and spin with a comfortable handle. It cost only 20$ or so and I think you have to try this blade without regrets. Maybe similar in some aspect to stiga clipper but with more control and a bit less speed. Approved!
I ordered a Fextra7 on Shopee. After waiting 10 days, I've just receive it today. After the first time with Sanwei fextra 7, I think I must to create an account on this website to write a review about it.
Exactly, It's the best point/price blade in all blade i've tried so far. The good feeling , comforty handle and acceptable vibration.
At short range, this blade can do all things what you want. Good control, not too fast.. but enough speed to have a power smash.
At long range, I need to increase power to have a good shot..
I love Chinese blade, so all blade I have at this moment come from chinese brands. I think this Sanwei Fextra 7 will be at its best if you combine it with hard rubber ( fh) and softer rubber ( bh)
The combo I use : DHS H3 - SANWEI FEXTRA 7- Initial Speed. total price : 45$. With this price, what I received was amazing .

This is a discontinued model from SANWEI, however they are still available from AliExpress. I picked an ST handle one up for AU $24.99 with the goal of using a training setup that isn't super fast, but has high levels of control and provides feedback when I'm producing lazy, passive strokes as well as when I put effort and intentional driving/looping. Weight is about 95g.
First thing I need to say is that after I paired it with a heavy, tacky rubber such as the Nittaku Hurricane 3 pro turbo orange sponge, it just didn't give that responsiveness working through the gears that I was after. Having said this, I've now got a yellow sponge Palio AK47 ( also on Ali Express for around AU $15) and on the backhand, a FastArc G1. this setup offers a great level of control, but you can also produce the speed as long as you input quality strokes and strong force from mid-to-long distance from the table. The ST handle is rather thick but felt good in my hand, of course you can always sand it down to make it thinner to your liking.
All in all this is an excellent, budget-friendly blade that suits offensive players, with an emphasis on control over speed.

The Sanwei FEXTRA 7 is very similar to the Stiga Clipper wood. I bought my Fextra, long strait handle, for under $20 (USD) from AliExpress. I had some extra rubbers around that I took off some very fast blades. They were the Victus, V-15 Extra and the Xiom Omega VII Asia. Thes are very good, fast rubbers. The Fextra added the control I needed, and I was still able to manage a lot of speed. My regular setup is the Clipper Wood Classic with Fast Arc G-1 on both sides. The Fextra setup a little bit more speed but the G-1 setup has a little more control. Both blades are great loopers.
