I just want to know u guys thoughts about this 2 blade. I'm having a w968 n.3 produced in 2019, in someway I just ordered a stiga inspira hybrid also, I haven't glued to test yet and still able to return. I just want to know if the inspira (the black handle one) is good enough to play with H3 and how much percentage will it compare to the mine thing. The reviews said it's like 968 ~ Vis combine? If it's too hard, just ignore the number thing.
My blade rn is kinda bit old, fragile baby rn (splinter, chip at edges), so I worry Im not gonna find anything replicate to it anymore when it actually broken down.

I find your choice of blade a bit... Interesting. If you want to replace your W968, why are you looking at the Inspira Hybrid? Its a completely different composition.

If you are looking for something to replace your W968 then buy a Hurricane Long 5 instead. Its not exactly the same as W968, but at least its comparable like apples with apples, opposed to apples with oranges with the Inspira Hybrid. You could even buy the provincial W968 which is 1/3rd the price of the national version.

If you were to buy a Stiga blade, I would recommend the Inspira Plus (Wang Manyu blade) instead. Its a Inspira Hybrid but with ALC instead of hybrid carbon. I have heard many good things about this blade. And people comparing it to Viscaria said it feels more similar to the Gold Tag version then the regular one.
Its also suited for H3 since its made for Wang Manyu who uses H3 on the forehand. As a bonus its also cheaper then the Hybrid.

Its a bit though to get one though. You will have to order it from Prott. Or you can contact @Wrighty67 if he still has one for sale.

Unfortunately I sold both of mine - it is a good blade, but it's not like a golden vis in any way from my perspective. Why not get another W968 or provincial version?

How exactly can I differentiate the Hurricane Long 5 from the provincial W968?

No I didnt say its like a Golden Vis. I said that people that compared it to Viscaria said it to be closer to Golden Vis then then regular Vis. Gan said this in his review.

I disagree - it's hard and fast, closer to normal Vis in my opinion.

yea maybe i will return this and get one plus from prott then, shipping time is slow as fk as always : ) It's from a friend from China, he got the source when he was playing university league there, so the chance i got sth like that is hard.
