Stiga Surge Hybrid Carbon

[laowa]

Tried it today for a hour. Comparing to yasaka resonate ai 87 grams and golden long 5 92 grams. The one i got was 86.7. Mid balance, similar to resonate ai. Forehand arch was easier to control than ghl5, definitely a bit slower, but the ghl5 is pretty much linear and head heavy. Speed feels about the same if not faster than ResAI. Much crispier than ghl5 or ResAI. Backhand feels much closer to outer than ghl5 or ResAI. I quite like it so far, but my concerns is feel over the table, usually blades that are crispy have thos issue Will come back after try or out some more.

Sounds really promising. Look forward to your next update!

Finally a review! Great stuff 👏 👍. How's the Stiga handle as compared to the other 2 blades. As for the weight, did you request for a lighter blade or that was just randomly provided?

Can you let me know where did you buy the blade from as it looks to be available in China, Taiwan and HK Markets only?

https://www.topph.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=984_986_1029&products_id=13371 i bought from here. It's in the phillipines, they have pretty gash shipping. Cost is high though. They're very responsive on facebook. As far as the blade im still testing. Simply put It's pretty fast, crispy, backhand feels faster than yasaka resonate ai than expected. Forehand has a pretty good arch, feeling is less because of crispiness. Still would recommend. I've bought another.

thanks, i do like blades with fast crispy bh. I have changed back from Resonate AI to Tmxi pro coz of this reason. Hopefully will get to buy some a store that is in stock.

My blade Weights 80/81 grams but top ply is rough. Do I need to to lacquer or IT is just normal situation.

You should always seal your Stiga limba blades. I learned that lesson the hard way 10 years ago, lol.

I got my Stiga Surge Hybrid Carbon. 84.7 grams, 6.14 thickness.
I've only had my Platinum on it, i ran out of funds for FH TwT.


Impressions: Seems to be quite stable, i had really good control. Arc was low with the Platinum, but more testing is required. I overthrew a lot with the Platinum, especially on FH, was testing it out, so it's alright.
I'll update here once I've thrown either a DNA Dragon Power on or a Hurricane 3 Neo Blue Sponge on it. For now I'm quite liking it, except the sharp edges of the blade.

But this one is China made

 

[Doralikesmath]

But this one is China made

It is made in Korea actually, as per the box. In general, I would seal any limba blade to prevent splintering, no matter which brand, though.

 

[andzejgolot]

You right IT is Korea...
