Stratus power wood OR OSP virtuoso off -

bubbas · May 30, 2017

Hello. What is the different between these two blades?The plies are the same. Wich one is faster? I currently have SPW with RAKZA 7 soft 1.8 BH 2.0 FH but i think its too fast for me, but i really love the blade. So now im thinking of OSP insted with same rubbers but 1.8 both sides. Is that a good idea? Every suggestions is welcome. Thanks

Lol neither are very good

Not sure what Lerminator likes instead or what he doesn't like about the SPW or the Virtuoso.

But if you like the SPW and want something similar but a little slower, an OSP Virtuoso is a pretty good choice. The craftsmanship and quality will be higher. The blade will be slower. And it will have a little extra feeling to it.

If you like the head size on the SPW you should think about the medium and large head sizes for the Virtuoso.

The Clipper and Infinity in Lerminator's profile are not that different from the blades you are looking at. But clearly, he likes faster setups. Rather than wanting to slow things down.

Thanks alot for a great answer. Actually i have sanded down my SPW to the size of Stiga infinity VPS so i will go for standard size, i think its 157x150

He wants a slower blade. V+ is as fast as SPW or faster.

Virtuoso does not have bad vibrations. Just good feeling.

No Vibrations in the Virtuoso. One of the best feeling blades I've owned. Fantastic craftsmanship. Don't listen to Lermanator, he obviously doesn't know what he's talking about with his troll answer.

I just made a order on the blade

bubbas · May 30, 2017

What rubber would you recommend on the blade? Would rakza 7 soft be any good? I have a very offensive playingstyle.

Try the EL-S for FH and Rakza 7 Soft for backhand

Hi,

I have both, in my opinion Virtuoso is the best. Very , very good feeling. Blade is top level.

Are you even reading what he wrote? Why are you even posting when you clearly aren't reading what he wants. He thinks his current setup is too fast and you are recommending some of the fastest rubbers available? Unreal. Just really poor advice.

bubbas - If you like softer rubbers that still have a good level of control, I'd recommend you try the Donic Bluefire JP03 or M2. The recently released Butterfly Rozena could also be an option, even thou it will be considerably harder than what you are used to.

Oh didnt see the stuff about speed sorry. If you want something a little slower, try xiom omea V euro on the forehand and stiga calibra LT sound on the backhand

OSP definitely slower than SPW, more control, it feels like i can go for full power (wich i like) with confident. With that said i think my game improved alot, and the ball actaully flys faster now even with slower blade. Only played it for 8h or so but i love it so far!

Thanks for chiming back in/providing results after your choice, that's always very valuable to others reading aswell!

I own and have used both. I prefer the OSP due to its increased feel, control and build quality. The Virtuoso along with the Nittaku Accoustic are my two favorite blades.
