Training with my OLD Stiga Carbonado

[VictorMoraga]

Hello 👋 TTD family,
I was testing other blade and it's strong 💪
But I know it. Can you guess it?
Hearing the sound, looking the arc and ball placement will give you an idea for sure.

p/s Victor uses Stiga Cyberspace so he prefers hard stuff. Not soft & cotton-candy for him.

Super Viscaria?

I am not good enough to know random guess: hinoki?

Please, I must know Victor!

 

[ricospin]

My guess is Legacy Carbon!

 

[mocker88]

It must be Yinhe V14 PRO

 

[IB66]

Primorac carbon is my GUESS!!!!

 

[ttarc]

It must be Yinhe V14 PRO

Nope. YT "cheat": Pause video and then single step through the frames with , and . Doesn't look like a V14 Pro handle or a Legacy Carbon (all black handle). Must be a blade with something shiny, golden on the handle like the ZJK ALC.

Good tries TTD friends, but I was trying my OLD blade from the past "Stiga Carbonado 290"
Such a Beast !!! This Blade is a Party itself XD
When I hit the ball hard with it, I don't miss the Stiga Cybershape AT ALL

The Carbonado 290 is really nice, I used to have one with ST handle. It was a bit heavy back then for me, I think it was 95g but it had a cracking sound and just nice to use. If someone knows me I am not a fan of Stiga blades but the Carbonado 290 is a good one.

Too bad it's discontinued.

Carbonado 290 and 245 contain 200 gram per m2 carbon fiber. INSANE !
I played a lot with them years ago.
Crazy feeling with DNA Dragon Grip and Platinum H.
I felt that the main problem is the way to generate spin with this type of blades.
Not enough time for the ball to go into the rubber. I annoyed many players with its speed but when I played against a good blocker and He figured out the balls were not loaded with too much spin, It was done!

Nice to have the opportunity to play with an old blade and see how I changed like a player.
Cybershape for me is a well balanced blade between speed and control. I would like to have a bit more power but I will work to make it with training and technique.

Interesting, but down to the 45 and the 90 it actually has quite a bit less carbon fiber than most, right? BTW have you tried the 45 and the 90? It seems like the 45 was pretty popular with some pros at one point.

I also played a few months with Carbonados 145 and 190 "years ago". They felt ok and then I tried 245/290. After I got Dynasty Carbon and finally the Cybershape Carbon 🙌
I didn't try 45 and/or 90 but for now Cybershape has what I need and It fits my game absolutely.

I played the Carbonado 190 for a short time and quite like it, the consistent feeling and power is to be praised for. But the Dynasty Carbon is the superior blade so I don't play with Carbonado anymore

Hello, great video. Do you think the Carbonado 290 will work well with long pips OX for close-to-table play? I currently use a Matador Texa Carbon. Greetings.

What's the difference of Dynasty and Cybershape Carbon?
