The TSP Swat Power sounds interesting, although the balsa for kiri substitution is likely to create a difference. The Joola Flame Extreme might be a closer analog. I think the Donic Burn is closer to the andro Temper Tech OFF-.

Frankly, I cannot fathom why more TT manufacturers aren't using this as an outer ply. 
I guess the TSP Swat Power could be an alternative?

What about the Donic Burn series? Is that similar in any way or different outer ply wood?

Hello Rocketman!

If I'm not wrong. The TSP Swat Power is a 7-ply wooden blade, sharing some similarities with a Clipper.
It is a more powerful version compared to the normal TSP Swat.

The Carbon composite one is the TSP Swat Carbon.

But I do notice some websites and stores listing the TSP Swat Power as a 5 + 2 composite blade.
I believe it is a typo/ mistake.

Just picked this blade up LOL

... vs Clipper variants, Korbel SK7, Fortius FT, HL3/PG7/506, Force Pro Black Edition

If anyone can compare the TSP Swat Power with the blades above of similar composition, that would be appreciated? Is the only difference the thickness of the plies?

Does the smoked limba differ from the normal limba in any way?

How good is the quality/finish of TSP compared to the rest?

Thanks in advance!
