Stiga has a new campaign started in social media hinting at the release of a new blade. I found this incomplete page on their website. Seems more like a rebranding of the Carbonado 90 to me, but calling it "Destiny" instead. Hopefully they have been more creative though, by introducing something...

I have played with Spectol S1, Spectol S3 and Stiga Symmetry on Harimoto ALC and Viscaria. Works well for me and I do not think there is a huge difference between the blades. Both are stable. One thing that is a weakness of SP is when you get a bit of a distance to the table. When this happens...

ttgearlab.com score them quite similarly. You can check TTgearlab - 7 ply wood. The Victas samples seem to have been a bit heavier than the Stiga samples, so the SWAT scores a bit higher on speed, but with similar weight, my guess is that they will score pretty much the same.

To be fair, as you can see in my original post, Stiga started announcing the release of something new, to be released in the end of august, already at the start of Yokohama. This marketing was launched at least to my knowledge in all major social media flows. It was not something they ad-hoc, in...

The biggest change came in 2000 with the larger ball. Game slowed down and less spin. The matches might look slower, but pre 2000 the players had super fast speed glued bats and a much faster and spinier ball. Very different game. This is why we see so many more unforced errors in the...

I agree with previous posts focusing on serve and receive. You are very predictable because your instinct is to push return every serve you receive. Even the ones that are fast with zero spin or slight side/top spin. It actually looks a bit like somebody with long pimples on backhand would play...

Yeah, the new rubbers do not produce as high quality chop blocks as regular Platinum ;)

I do not agree with some of the comments here that WCQ was playing at low capacity. Harimoto vs WCQ game was maybe the best match I have seen. For sure one of the fastest games of table tennis ever.

Appearantly Truls is using something new from Stiga in Yokohama. #stigatabletennis is posting on instagram: "Something’s changing. Truls Möregårdh has already unleashed his new weapon in Yokohama — powering his way to the semi-finals. Soon, it’s your turn. The next evolution in speed, spin, and...

Anton's blade has been looking like that for a long time. Butterfly are usually clear about when some of their sponsored players are using a custom blade(I.e. Dang Qiu). However, with Anton they have stated he is using the Dima blade, also for a long time. I'm not sure why.

Plenty of threads already on this topic. I.e. look below in "similar threads" section.

I think you missed the intent of being ironic ;)

Not a a very sharp picture, but I see the purple sponge. It could be Bugller though! :ROFLMAO:

He beats the world nr 1 but not in shape? :) I think both players made many unforced errors in the first two sets, but after that it looked the same as before and during olympics to me.

The look of these new blades do not really appeal to me. They do not look like Stiga. Pastel colors :sick: ... The Inspira Surge looked quite good, but wavy and aura .......

Some of the best players in my club, playing in high league divisions in Sweden play with all wood blades. I.e: Stiga Clipper Wood Stiga Cybershape Wood Butterfly Petr Korbel Yassaka Sweden Extra To me the difference compared with inner carbon blades is not that big. Maybe a bit more flex in...

I can only compare DNA Hybrid H and D09C. DNA plays more like a regular tensor. It is faster and easier to flat hit and block. So to summarize: DNA + Flat hitting and blocking + Quite a lot faster(more catapult) unless you use a lot of force then D09C is just as fast D09C + Easier to flick +...

Koki Niwa wood handle and hino-carbon are quite different. At least the ST. Koki Niwa wood is bit square, kind of similar to Butterfly TBS. Hino-carbon is thin and rounded.

I have a team mate who plays really nice controlled high arc, high spin loops with both fh and bh with T25FX. He barely ever flat hits. So I believe it can be used quite well for a classic playing style as well (even though maybe the other Tenergies are more optimal for this!?).

Maybe he started playing short pips and is trying out the new Bugller from Butterfly. :) Bugller is purple sponged.
