Pros
  • Good Feel
  • Mid Distance
  • Nice Grip
The Carbonado 190 is one of the better newer blades I have tried, I had read some nice things about this blade and it did not disappoint me. It had a good feel and control and works very good close/mid distance play. It’s a pretty fast blade but not extremely, still a lot of control. The handle feels nice and grippy (not to slippery) as some blades can be. Overall a good blade with a nice sound.

  • Grippy
  • Durable
  • design
I have been playing with these shoes for a while and I like them very much. It's a light shoe that is very comfortable and grippy. I have been playing with them for three month and they are very durable so far. They are pretty cheap so if you like the design I think this is one of the more price worthy shoe on the TT market that I have tried.

Like many other new balls they keep disappoints me. I thought this Butterfly ball was much slower then I was expecting and I can't say that the quality satisfied me. Some were good round but many I tried felt a bit eggy, really miss the old ball.

  • Not a blade for beginners
Great blade from Stiga, I'm not surprised that it's one of the best selling blades and very popular in asia. Suits the most all round to offensive players who likes hard blades. I really like it especially from mid distance where I can get full use of the power in the blade. It's pretty fast but still got good control, but definitely a blade for more advanced players who got some years of experience. Not so much to complain about a great blade overall, 5 out of 5!

I used Bryce during the speed glue era and It was one of the best rubbers for my game style. A lot of speed and control I remember it was a very popular rubbers that many in my old club where using. Sadly the rubber is made for the speed glue so I was a bit disappointed when trying it with a water based glue last week. I have some great memories with this rubber but I think there is some better alternatives out there that are made for the new ball and without speed glue. Because it was so good before I give it 4 out of 5 stars.

I think that Airoc S is a very good soft rubber with much control and feeling with a clear and nice sound. This rubber is well suited for the poly ball and I think Stiga has manage to design the rubber great with the new ball in mind. The rubber is very soft so I recommend it for all round players who prefer soft rubbers with a balance between speed and control. The topsheet makes it easy to get spiny short serves and returns.

The rubber has a pretty flat trajectory and I mostly recommend it as a backhand rubber. It is not the fastest rubber out there and can sometimes lacks a little power from the back in my opinion thats why I play with Airoc M. Airoc S is as durable as my Airoc M which still feels almost completely new after playing with the same rubber for almost two month now. I think Airoc S Is overall a great soft rubber and I give it 5 out of 5 stars.

I currently play with this blade and It suits me perfect. Excellent control but still powerful. Good feeling in blocks and and a also in the short game. Like the dwell and touch in the short game and my serve. I don't have to much to complain about, a cheap blade that offers everything you need from a blade. I rate it off and I think it suits the most offensive players who prefer a lot of control.

I use this for my forehand and it gives me the power combined with the control that I need! The quality of this rubber is really good and I think it works great for all offensive players who plays with a lot of topspin. It's a durable rubber but because of the price I only give it 4/5 stars.

I have trained with this ball for a few practices and I had to change ball way to often because of the poor quality. The roundness was okay I but it's not fun when the ball breaks to easy. Compared to other plastic balls I think this one is the slowest I have tried. I give the Joola super-p 40+ 2/5 stars.
