Seems hard to justify the price point. No rare wood, special process and it's very little carbon weave?

Perhaps that is just the price at the world cup? Maybe it will be less expensive later on

No, I sort of started out with a Kjell Johanson Offensive Wood, and had a Stellan Bengtsson Offensive Wood too. Way back when the mountains were stll young.Quote:

Very true. Although for some reason, the Carbonado series and Infinity VPS aren’t as popular among cpen users as the hardwood series (Rosewood, Intensity, etc). Maybe it would be different if Xu Xin started using one of the Carbonados hehe.Quote:

Seriously though, I think the price will come down for the regular version after a while.
Can you put up a review comparing it to some other blades?Quote:

Coming soon was more black outer and new-new stiga is thicker.
I think new blade has more control and its slower but easier to play near the table.
So where is your real XX blade to play with?:)Quote:
