I've also had that Appelgren sticker on one of my cases. Nice.

Most Stiga blades need to have the edges sanded because they are sharp. Have you sanded the Carbonado? Does it feel like it needs sanding or is it okay without?

I looked through some different rackets and saw your comment about Stiga blades needing to sand the edges because they are too sharp. I live in the same city as the Stiga blades are made (Eskilstuna), and know several people who work there. It's funny cause they tell their workers to not smoothen the edges cause they want the blades to feel premium and fresch. But in the end, everyone will smoothen the edges cause it's too sharp and they find it annoying that it's not smoothen out already

Stiga Azalea Offensive with GEWO Nexxus EL Pro 43 and 38 in 2.1mm thickness.

Azalea is such a pretty blade.
Same composition as Yinhe E3. I wonder how do they compare.

Trumpet_guy, how do you like your Azalea? Is it soft, medium or hard feeling?

trumpet_guy · Oct 19, 2018

Hi jawien,
I feel that the Azalea Offensive has a medium feel, but surprisingly "live" for such a light blade. Part of this feeling is from the rubber, which is more springy than I am used to. The sound upon hitting is somewhat high pitched. Vibrations are pretty well damped. Feels great in the hand. Very well balanced. I love how much power it has for such a lightweight blade. Definitely worth trying.

Hi, I've never posted pictures as it's not groundbreaking stuff (this side of a Korbel and two T05, this is as close as you will get to a Stiga Allround Classic with two Mark V for the modern era; "Shut up and play", is what it says on the cover) but I love this thing, so here goes:

And an older shot with daylight (sorry for the limited quality in the pictures):

This thread is great. Pure TT madness to look at photo after photo of bats, but it reads like Santa Klaus' list of secret items when you're a five-year-old.

That's a HARD bat!

jawien · Dec 8, 2018

There are 2 versions of Primoracs on the pictures. The Japan one I would say, might be described as the wood version of a TB ZLF (edit: more in terms of the feeling and flexibility, definitely a softer touch), while the European one plays rather similar to the TB ALC (well Freitas would more accurate probably), being of course slower.

The Primorac Euro paired with the two Z1 BluesStorm rubbers, one being a turbo version is a really nice setup I managed to assemble recently. It still has this kick effect, just like TB ALC has, but is essentially a slower blade, which gives me - an amateur - a necessary control. Plays really nice - to my very surprise. Fh side has quite a hard sponge and behaves almost in a fashion like Chinese rubbers (and probably slightly different blade). The euro version on the picture, also has a little trimmed head ... ~3 millimeters from the top : )

@Derek, you must have quite a "rocket" there, don't you?

David Pegg · Dec 8, 2018

Very nice

David Pegg · Dec 8, 2018

Very neat and tidy

I guess so, though I'm having a lot of fun with this setup, good thing that the Viscaria flexes a little during loops
