Best Blade for each type of Playing?

21kangc1 · Mar 30, 2018

What is the best blade in each category? like For Looping, Blockers, Offensive Player, Best Control, Best Speed, Carbon, All Wood? I am an offensive type of player would be awesome to find the best blade for me!!

Palio TNT - best blocker and a smashing monster, but can't do anything else, great sweet spot, but difficult to control
Palio V1 - best looper at mid distance and highest speed at long distance, easy to control, but with small sweet spot
Butterfly Timo boll Off- -best control, mediocre in anything else
Xiom Vega Tour - can do everything at any distance, best feeling, near to best, but, not excellent, in everything

Might Have to try out the XIOM VEGA TOUR

What is the best stiga blade and which rubber would you par it with?

21kangc1, I am moving this question of yours to this thread. People can answer the question I posted here. The question from your other thread is very similar to the question in this thread. So, in this thread, people can answer both questions.

The other thread will no longer be active.

All these information are from reading threads online. I have not tried enough blades and I don't feel like it matters that much but basically this is what has been suggested again and again

Looping: Any thin 5 ply with Limba outer.

Blocking: Stiff, stable, 7 ply with harder outer
Pair this with soft rubber for control.

Offensive: Relatively fast blades with acrylate carbon has been popular
Examples are Viscaria, Hurricane Long 5, Timbo Boll ALC, Fang Bo Carbon

Best Control: Mostly all-round blade like Stiga Allround classic, Yasaka Sweden Extra, Donic Appelgren allplay

Best Carbon: Acrylate Carbon has been popular. See best offensive.

Best Speed: 1 ply hinoki, 3ply with two carbon(Gergely etc.), Nexy Akrasia

All wood: Korbel, PG7, Violin, Stratus Power wood, Clipper, Primorac, Malin Extra Offensive, Acoustic

I'm always looking for max spin and I don't understand why the Limba has such a reputation.
Perhaps they mean just lazy loops, while I mean real top spin by brushing.

Quite accurate description !
Sorry for the OFF-TOPIC,
I'm very curious for your thoughts about the FEEL ZX3 if you ever give it a chance.
Although not for the majority of players ... (BTW do you know any professional who uses hinoki?)

ZX3 gives a viciously nonlinear hinoki lovely feeling with max spin, more than enough speed & surprisingly very good control.
Probably is the first carbon blade with real hinoki feeling. For me, is a work of art. A big smile in my face from the first minute, even when tested with dead 2 year used rubbers.
Amazingly unique.
But again ... Not for everyone.

No, I still have not got the chance to try ZXIII.
But looking at the structure it is absolutely the same as Vega Tour.
Generally it should play the same way, and any differences may be due to different material quality and different factory producer.

Geoch · Mar 30, 2018

No! It is not so balanced as Vega Tour, but a very different feel. Unique experience. So much FUN
I don't know why is so much different, but the upper hinoki ply has a glass-like smoothness and the handles are carved inside.

langel · Mar 30, 2018

Ok.
I see you are a Xiom user, do you have experience with OV Asia, or Pro and how do you compare them to O VII Pro?
I'm waiting for OVII Asia, but it will be available in July and I need to reboot.

Geoch · Mar 30, 2018

Sorry, unfortunately first time user of Xiom rubbers with the ΩVII PRO but very impressed.

from my experience for the johnny huang, teng yi , mattias karlsson style is the cliper cr and yasaka extra special or malin extra special are very good. im curious in trying some innerforce blade with short pips. i know that mattias play with malin soft carbon but i tried and is to flexible for my taste, maybe is using some modifications on the blade like putting some Polyurethane layers or someting else... i realy dont know[h=1][/h]

It is better to focus on just one blade first. Having too many choices will make you confused. Stick to one set up first and practice. When you develop your skills and feel of the ball that is the time you choose better equipment.

The Stiga Clipper Wood is good for speed
The Butterfly Petr Korbel and Boll Allround are good for looping
The Donic Waldner Offensive is great for control

What are the differences between the different Stiga Clipper models?
