My I1 is quite heavy(93g), but I think it plays as advertised. Faster than a clipper but slower than Cybershape Carbon(Truls blade). Also a bit more stiff than a clipper. Not much vibration, so it feels quite different. I do not have a problem with either backhand or forehand, small or large...

This American Stiga Ambassador(so take whatever he says with a grain of salt ;)), Nathan Britt, did a quite thorough test and review of many of the Stiga blades, Carbon Soft Touch included. Look him up at youtube. If I remember correctly he loved the Carbon Soft Touch close to the table, but...

If the coaches recommends all wood blades and rubber combinations to go with that, then maybe you should take their advice and not ours :). All wood is not only a "kids thing". Some of the best players(advanced to semi-pro level) in my club play with wooden blades such (Clipper, Korbel, Yasaka...

I guess I am a bit late to the party, but here comes a few pointers from me. Some guys have already been hinting at this but, I think this is a case of too much arm movement without body movement. If you want more power in the loop(especially if you do not borrow your opponents speed, like when...

What about Glayzer09c or Stiga Dragongrip or Victas Tripple Extra/Double Extra?

My experience of Helix Hybrid Vs DNA Hybrid. - Helix is faster - Helix has higher arc - Helix feels quite similar to D09c, and I never thought DNA hybrid felt similar at all to D09c.

Yes, dwell is good. Definitely more dwell with I1 than with I.e. Cybershape Carbon or Viscaria.

I have now played one session with my new setup. 90+ grams, regular shaped I1 with Helix Hybrid on both sides. Positives for me: + Quite linear. You do not get the surprise over the top speed you can sometimes get with an inner fiber. + As advertised, it does feel faster than a Clipper, but...

Yes, I1 has "Made in Sweden" on the tag. Stiga I1 tag

Maybe the dark wood dye for Destiny is expensive :LOL:

Oh, my bad. Yeah, then it is a tricky situation. Atleast it should be possible then to get a comparison of ESN rubbers, like DNA, Helix, MX-P, Bluefire, Nuzn, Rakza, etc. :)

Spinsight would be the natural "independent" party here I guess

Yeah, these old table are so unscientific and subjective. Most of those columns could be filled in with real data from Spinsight measurements. Then of course the values could be totally different depending on reference point of what blade the rubbers are glued at and the skill of the player...

Not maybe, it is scientifically proved by TT11! ;)

I stand corrected. The lefty did actually like D05, but not the others. :)

I agree that it is difficult to assess from just a couple of minutes if the rubber is "good" or fits ones playing style. However, I found it interesting to see and hear their observations regarding arc, speed and ease of use(clearly the butterfly rubbers took more effort to activate). No one...

If winning is the most important thing than better to play in the lower leagues with guaranteed wins. Competing is about seeing how you measure up against others. Just look at a regular WTT tournament. 50% of the participants go to the venue, play one match, lose, go home. Then another 25% of...

Visit the Stiga Showroom in Stockholm and try them out :D

Alexis and Felix have for sure played great recently. What most people feel though is that something must be off when FZD, who earlier this year beat both LSD and WCQ, now loses 0-3 to both of the brothers. And when something is off it has to be the equipments fault! :LOL:

Yeah, the pics clearly show that this is an inner-carbon blade. There is Core, then carbon, then a non-dyed wooden layer, and finally a dyed koto layer.
