What rubber of stiga calibra range whould you suggest me to use on stiga clipper wrb on backhand side?
thank you
thank you
Azlan, I what is your view on the amount of spin the calibra can produce?
Thanks for that Azlan!! much appreciated. I am sticking on a sheet next week or so when my acuda S1 dies and will give it a good go.
I would say, use Calibra LT for backhand on any blade. It's really good!
For me, the Calibra LT SPIN version is too soft.. But its about personal preference
Calibra LT is even faster than T05 and has a much lower throw.
So the Low Throw Angle is good for relooping heavy loop. How is it for attacking heavy Backspin? I am sure a solid player will be able to spin the ball over, but how is it for third ball attacks or playing a good chopper?
I certainly don't think a player like you will have any problems spinning the ball from a heavy backspin. As for quick attack, I find that the ball travels so much faster and deep, making blocking a bit tricky. But what makes Calibra so great is the low throw and dipping effect after the bounce on the opposite side of the table.
If you're trading loops far from the table, you will notice that your shots are travelling just a few cm over the net. And after the bounce, the ball doesn't kick as much. Instead it takes a violent dip. So, if your opponents are standing where they normally stand when trading loops, they're in for a big surprise. Most of your shots will not make it to them. They have to bend forward and dig the ball up, and it's not going to be easy to keep the ball safe when they do that (especially when the ball is travelling very fast and very spinny).

A US hall of Fame Coach is credited for saying "Spin is nice, but speed is King." Calibra fits this bill.
This is right.. You can get just as much, or even more spin than T05 with Calibras. The only thing is that it's faster than T05 so that the spin drops later and that may confuse you oponent. One of my practise partners needs to stand one step closer to the table than I when we play topspin topspin rally. He uses T64 on forehand, and I use Calibra LT Spin.
In a couple of weeks I'll change to Andro Hexer HD, and I hope its giving me both the speed and spin of Calibra with the feeling of Tenergy. Must be super. Have had a few hits with it on a friends blade, and it seems just like that
