Introduction of my 7 ply all wood blade Parla review
Hello Pimplers,
Recently I received from Sanwei their Parla Blade and, as usual, I will do a creative video about it. But in the meantime, I decided to write this review. Hope it will be useful. Sanwei Parla is part of the Trio Series…
Actually, I don’t know why it is called Trio if they are just two: Echo and Parla. Maybe it is something about the design lines or about the possibility of having a third one in the near future. We will see…
Anyway, the Trio series is the control blade option offered by Sanwei, being both blades made with full wooden material.
The structure of SANWEI 7 Ply all wood blade Parla
The Limba surface is slower than Koto, giving not so much speed but, instead, a good location of the ball into the table. Limba is also lighter, keeping the wooden racket in a normal weight.
The Ayous nucleus has a medium thickness, helping the ball to be in contact with the racket for more time. The other two layers of Ayous on each side have the same fiber direction but with different gaps, giving the extra power for a good reaction without losing control.
This combination is traditionally used for some brands that want to reduce the loose energy during the loop giving depth to the shoot.
My feelings when I use 7 ply all wood blade Parla
In general aspects, we have here an OFF- or All+ in terms of speed, with high control, good reaction, and a medium-high catapult angle.
The weight of this blade is around 80g and it has 6mm thickness. Not a light one, but not the heaviest one, still robust enough for feeling the impact of the ball with a certain vibration on it.
In my case, I use long pips DZ OX with this blade, then it doesn’t feel so heavy in my hand. But it is good that you consider this aspect if you are used to synthetic fibers in your racket.
Speaking about rubbers fitting well with this kind of blades, from my experience it is good for slow rubber as anti or pimples, because of the good absorption of speed it has, but also a perfect one for inverted hard rubbers which will balance the catapult capacity of the wood.
As a conclusion, this is a blade that offers a stable and clear reaction, ideal for aggressive players looking for a little bit more of control, for players who use active blocking close to the table or for people that want to loop for opening the attacking phase of the point.

I think this is all for today, Long Life Long Pips.
