Perhaps this infor will help you to decide if Rosewood V is worthy for a trial :
web.me.com/igsstern/tabletennis/Blade_DB/Blade_DB.html
It has reviews on Stiga hardwood series including Rosewood V, as well as on Stiga Classic Series, Butterfly Timo Boll Series and Nittaku Violin series, all using the same metric of rating in different aspect of the blade. So you can make a good objective compare.
IMHO, my take away on Rosewood V is :
It is somewhere between Timo Boll ALC (or TBS) and Nittaku Acoustic in terms of characteristic (means relatively harder surface for good hand feel/speedy short game but good long ball retention when heavy loop from mid/far range). Not as extreme non-linearity as Offensive Classic, and milder overall than TBS.
It is not a hard hitter bat such as Stiga Clipper (short ball retention when hit hard). A longer ball retention means better control and higher success rate when looping from distance.
But the flip side of Rosewood V is its weight. I have to search around trying to find a <90g, but at the end has to accept a 91g FL. Good thing is its blade area is slightly compact so it helps minimize the overall weight when rubbers are put on.
One other thing is it has a 'NCT' surface treatment that is very smooth and prevent splinter, but rubber may come off easily if using volatile glue. I use water-base glue (Freechack) which is fine, just make sure the glue is thoroughly dried before sticking rubber on.
I use HK3 Neo 39 degree on FH and Sriver EL on BH, total 179g with the edge tape on.
At this weight I find it is still very good balance.
The FH with HK3Neo is a good combination for speed and spin. But I need to beef up the BH more. I am searching for a better substitution now.
Eyeing on T64, Acuda S2 or Calibra LT. (Any suggestion is greatly appreciated !).
