Stiga Catalogue 2014/2015 (Airoc, Emerald VPS V, Poly ball)

Steven · Apr 9, 2014

Another nice post from Stiga's Facebook page! Earlier Stiga had announced their new Airoc rubbers that would be well-suited for the new poly ball. But this catalogue also shows the new poly ball itself, and their newest blade: the Emerald VPS V!

Check it out here:http://stigatabletennis.com/en/about-stiga/downloads/catalogs/catalogs/

Very nice catalogue from STIGA, I miss one thing.. For how long will the shirts/shorts/tracksuits be avaliable? This is important for smaller clubs that can't buy huge amounts of clothing and sell to players in the club, but has to buy small stocks depending on how many players will need it.. Does anyone in here have som experience on this?

I definitely want to try these Airoc rubbers.

Normally changes every year.
Some times there is as "last production" and after that, they will just sell out of the stock.
This is where some sizes will not be available.

Ofcourse they still may be stock in the distributors

IMO, try and make sure you guys buy everything within 3 to 6 months
Moment you get after 9months, then chances are low that you can buy again.

I am expecting the Emerald VPS V, seems that Stiga is playing with mix-and-match game. Let's see if this is a good blade!

Yes, because there is this new techology - Oxygen Capsule System.
Which can give you more spin etc.

Now if all this is so great, why didn't Stiga release OCS or Airoc for current ball, so they can provide a rubber which is more superior than Tenergy?

Maybe its another of their advertising ploys?

mahomedy13 · Apr 11, 2014

Or it might be that they figured out this technology now only

mahomedy13 · Apr 11, 2014

But i doubt that.I believe it all involves advertising strategies and ploys.

Let's just be aware that the companies making the rubbers are mostly marketing companies. For example Adidas never made any decent table tennis equipment and suddenly apear on the market with some decent stuff, how is this possible ?
Well , Adidas just orders their rubbers at a company named ESN in Germany. They just asked to make some rubbers with Adidas logo's on them and now try to sell them at 40€/piece. (Production cost is estimatedly 1 to 2€ a piece guys !!!
We should try to find some cheap alternatives to these rip off rubber "manufacturers".
I have launched in the past the question which was the best ESN tensor rubber cheap (chinese) alternative , let's say something that plays like a Tibhar Genius or the like. We could all save a lot of money ( and play with a fresh rubber 2 to 3 times per season) instead of continuing to play with a pair of rubbers during a whole season.

Has anyone tried the Palio Hadou Biotech (or other Palio Biotech rubbers) ?? Any comparison with a tensor ???

We could just start a cooperative and start the brand Table Tennis Daily Fourm, and then just make ESN make our line of rubbers and sell them for factory prices! Thing is, the 300+ post thread where everyone wants to design the characteristics would make a bad rubber (too many TT players spoil the souo).

Or you could make certain rubbers with certain traits for certain players.eg tacky rubbers for those that prefer chinese types of rubbers etc

The Emerald VPS V looks good, what is this made out of, does anyone know its similarities with other blades?
