Good luck with a Stiga blade. I have zero respect for the brand given the number of blades I purchased which turned out to be crappy.
Fool you once, shame on Stiga; fool you twice, shame on you?
Anyway, the Stiga blades I played with 40 years ago were, in my dirty unreliabke memory, outstanding in feeling, balance, finish.
The finishing quality of the newer Stigas I played for a while when returning was lesser. I didn’t like the play of the new (limba) Offensive Classic, but many did and do and play well with it. Yes, a bit of sanding and sealing finishes it. I didn’t like the Allround Classic Carbon. The OC Carbon was fine, well, but that muddy limba feel…
I’ve since held another player’s Arctic Wood, and found much to like in it. And this Dynasty, well, it looks exceptional for modern Stiga. With a price to match that.
Harsh words, NL, and undoubtedly reflecting the measure in which you feel burned. I don’t share these negatives to that extent, and have seen good things come from Stiga recently. Blades and rubbers.
