15/02/2022 A Lifetime Blade for Serious players Review by james dixon

Quality

I recently ordered my 2nd Barwell Fleet as a backup and comparison blade for rubbers. The Fleet is a blade for intermediate and up players. It is an ideal blade with soft to medium-hard tensor or European non-sticky rubbers. The feel is sharp and immediate with the above. If using Chinese rubber or "tacky" surfaces, there is a dulling upon contact and both technique and physical strength body mechanics are needed away from table due to the linear speed upon contact and stick of Chinese a rubber. Overall the blade is excellent with a range of OFF to OFF+. The overall feel, speed, and control are rubber-dependent.
Lastly, there is nothing like it; probably due to glass fiber and 9ply construction.

29/01/2022 Great control blade Review by Nguyen Nguyen

Quality

The blade looks great! I put Butterfly Sriver in bh and Yasaka 7 soft in BH, both with max thickness. The blade has great control, but the speed and spin are not up to as I expected. Maybe it is because I put slow rubbers on it! I may need to change to faster rubbers for this blade. I only have practiced with it a few times. I think I need more time to get the best out of this blade. Once again, thank you very much for providing excellent services, Tabletennis11 team!

Excellent speed and control blade.

31/12/2021 Excellent blade Review by Frank

Quality

After reading reviews I purchased the Nittaku Barwell Fleet. It really is a great blade. I paired it with Hurricane Neo 3 provincial blue sponge on the forehand and Nittaku Fastarc G1 on the backhand. Very forgiving blade. It gives you confidence when making your drives. Loops are very spinny and low. Blocking is very forgiving. Enough power for strong smashes. Excellent for close-to-the-table subtle shots. One of the best blades I’ve tried so far. The great reviews it gets are testament to its greatness!

22/09/2020 Best Blade I've Ever Had Review by Peter J.

Quality

This is the best blade I've ever had. It has improved my game a lot in the last 2 months. It's heavy with a really nice sound while hitting. It has added pace to my backhand hit and has improved my forehand tremendously. Great for blocking, it has good feeling and excellent control. Although expensive it has improved my game no end so it was a worthwhile purchase all things considered.

Quality

Fast blade with a good amount of control.

12/01/2020 Not balanced and control Review by Mohammad Islam

Quality

I feel that the blade has less control and a little bit of weight at the bottom.

08/01/2020 Gorgeous Craftsmanship Review by Jacques Hartwig

Quality

The blade is a little on the heavy side but is a true work of art. It has an amazing feel to it with lots of gears. Packaging, delivery, and service from TT11 was first class! Received delivery (assembly & lacquering) to South Africa within a week.

Quality

Very good off blade with perfect control.

14/08/2019 A must try experience Review by Hesham

Quality

The blade has improved my performance is a lot (in less than 2 months of using it). It's heavy with a really nice sound while hitting.
Forehand shot has added more spin and power to it.
For intermediate players, it will make a huge difference in playing style, and it will add much offensive style to yours.
Thank you, TT11.

29/07/2019 Great for intermediate players Review by Denzel Low

Quality

Having the Glass-Fibre in the blade makes this have a great feeling yet good speed. Sort of the in-between of a wood blade and carbon blade in terms of feeling and speed. Faster than wood but not faster then carbon and you can feel the ball, unlike carbon. Recommended for intermediate players learning to develop their strokes.

14/04/2019 Piece of art Review by Martin

Quality

This is a must try blade. I have Tibhar MXP max thickness on both sides and the pairing is awesome. I tried the 2mm before, but the overall performance is much better with max thickness. Touch game much better than Acoustic, lifting backspin super easy, needs less motion than Acoustic to generate power. Much better than acoustic on flat hits, chops, and pushes. Generates less spin, but the trade off in speed, control and the ease of getting the ball to the other side makes it much better than acoustic, with the same rubbers. It's a little head heavy with this set up, but not horribly. With the new ball, it feels like you can crush it, flat hit through loops, and forehand short smash is amazingly easy. I never even train it and I am landing 70-80% of my attempts. I will try Viscaria with the MXP, but I highly doubt it can match the barwell performance. A must try blade.

18/01/2019 Great service and product Review by Charles Trinh

Quality

Amazing blade. Good quality. Barwell Fleet has great control and is great in blocking. It is fast when it needs to be, as the dwell time is there when paired with the right rubbers. It feels like an all wood blade but is great in driving and smashing as well. This blade can do it all!!

03/10/2018 trés bonne raquette Review by didier deparis

Quality

une raquette avec des qualités peu courantes:

un rejet bas,
une bonne rotation
excellente en frappe
permet des services" bombe" très performants
un peu on/off ç'est a dire pas linéaire , l'on peut faire des blocs a raz du filet contre des défenseurs en balle haute en ralentissant la balle mais également avoir des frappes très séches quand on lache le bras .
on aime ou pas...
il faut s'y habituer mais une fois assimilé on apprécie ce bois .
les revêtements devront étre choisis avec soin car le comportement de la raquette peut changer du tout au tout et donner les meilleurs comme les pires résultats ..

Muy buena calidad, rápido y mucho control

09/08/2017 Отличное основание Review by Dmitriy Putyatov

Quality

Качество изготовления на отлично. По ощущениям - немного мягче чем Rutis Power, но скорость отскока мяча выше. При более высокой скорости сохраняется отличный контроль. Позволяет удобно играть в короткой игре, на блоках, топс на топс, в общем все что вы умеете, с этим основанием вы реализуете за столом.

28/02/2017 Шедевр от Nittaku Review by Igor Kossov

Quality

Великолепное основание! Достаточно жёсткое, что бы прожать любые накладки, в игре оно проявляет себя исключительно сбалансированно и контрольно. Оно может подойти, как атакующий игрокам так и универсальным, в зависимости от типа и толщины накладок. Несомненно это основание по совокупности всех характеристик является одним из лучших в мире.

Nittaku ....number 1

07/04/2016 Fantastic blade Review by Peter Mortensen

Quality

I am fairly new to table tennis (1.5 years) but I have been through 4 different blades, all of them good to varying degrees, but this one is so much better than the others it really surprised me. The feel and control is outstanding and yet it is plenty fast. I can feel exactly where on the bat the ball hits and it tends to go where I want it, whether I am fine pushing or power looping, over, close or away from the table. Only one issue, the handle is on the small side but I sorted that with a tennis wrap. In short, a brilliant blade well worth the money, especially with Tibhar Evolution MX-P rubbers.

29/03/2016 Craftsmanship by Nittaku is competitive to Butterfly Review by Francis

Quality

This blade is so beautiful. The sound from this blade when you hit the ball is harmonious and euphonic. Good control, easy to generate spin. Pure wood feeling. Craftsmanship by Nittaku is superb.

26/02/2016 Super good Review by Rey

25/04/2015 Soft touch and power Review by Timothy

Quality

I have played with some fast frames where I had difficulties with the short game because the ball would tend to jump off of the frame. I have also played with more allround frames where I missed some power in my shots. This frame is great for soft touches but you can also play powerful shots with it. Love the extra control.

23/03/2015 OFF Blade Best Control Review by Luigi

Quality

No way, it's an OFF blade with maximum control.
You have to work a little bit on the block on the table but it comes easily.
My FH increased power, loop and percentage, my BH touch is now incredible; what else may I ask? I think this blade gives u 2 points/set.

09/03/2015 Best blade I have ever used. Review by Jatin

Quality

Best blade I have ever used. It has many gears. I play with long pimples on backhand and xiom omega Europe on forehand. It does all u want and the way u want.
Best Product. Cost is too high but worth a money.

04/03/2015 Good blade Review by Bobby Peru

Quality

Highly qualitative blade. Good response and good control.
Price might be too high compared to other blades, which are also quite good.

02/02/2015 Amazing Blade Review by Nathan Schult

Quality

It's hard to put into words how incredible this blade is. The handle is pretty large which I really like. What's odd is the blade feels fairly stiff but I still get good feedback from the blade. I can really feel the ball. It might have something to do with the fiberglass.
I'm most comfortable playing a couple steps back from the table and this blade gives you the power to do so. its is fairly head heavy and heavy in general which is something I got used to and now prefer.
There is an x factor that I cant quite describe. I have a number of other blades that i let other people at my club try and when they try the BWF I always get the same reaction.. "this is weird..."
I've heard similar things about the Violin... Its this distinct feeling that I've fallen in live with.
I have it paired with Sigma 1 Europe MAX thickness on both sides. If you're someone who likes to loop a couple steps back off the table I'd highly recommend that pairing to try.

20/01/2015 Great Blade Review by William

Quality

I had played many many blades and most of them are butterfly blades; however, this is an excellent blade in terms of quality of construction of blade, with power and control, easy for under spin loop. It is worth for the money compare to expensive butterfly blade.

18/01/2015 Excellent blade Review by Bill

Quality

At first I am very skeptical about this blade since I bought a few of Nittaku blade but the quality is not up to par. However, I decided to buy it and gave another try for this blade. When I received, the blade was well package, and excellent After a couple sessions of practicing, this blade is definitely very good. It has an excellent control and power.

best control and speed.great blade i have ever own.i love it

12/01/2015 Simply perfect Review by Oliver Mecseri

Quality

Unbelievably smooth, comfortable, perfectly manufactured and powerful blade. Drives are insane, loops require a firm hand, but then it is as precise as a Swiss watch. Gentle in the touch play, and a shotgun from meters away from the table.
The most outstanding feature I have found about this blade was the backhand smash. Just like Nittaku Acoustic, it is as linear as you swing your arm. I have tried that with dozens of other blades, not even close. Not even a little bit. This blade does what your body tells it to do. Simply perfect.

31/12/2014 fantastic blade at a fantastic price Review by George Philips

Quality

I've looked hard, but I have never seen this blade sold at such a low price anywhere else. Fantastic control, both from near and mid-distance, and great power. I feel like I don't have to work as hard to make shots.

29/12/2014 Superb blade Review by Viacheslav Karbishev

Tried a few blades of butterfly etc. viscaria and TB ALC, Tibhar Stratus power wood but BARWELL FLEET gives the opportunity to feel the ball on a completely different level. I am very happy with purchase, thank you so much tt11.

Заказал вместе с накладками Donic Acuda S1 Turbo max и DONIC Bluefire JP 01 TURBO max. Очень приятно было увидеть в посылке небольшие подарочки - коллекционный мяч и наклеенную ленту на ребре лопасти. С момента заказа до момента получения посылки прошла ровно неделя. Очень радует скорость доставки с ТТ11. Ракетка получилась и быстрой и контрольной. Это совершенно другой уровень качества и характеристик. Я в восторге, огромное спасибо ТТ11!

03/12/2014 Simply perfect Review by Oliver

Quality

Japan quality, a masterpiece. Unbelievably soft for short game and soft touches, then bam! - changed to racket speed if controlled so. Amazing, and I know it seems top dollar, but quality has always cost its equivalent. And this time it is perfectly balanced.
