Stiga Azalea

Hi I have read up on Azalea all-round and off.

Can anyone compare Azalea All with Azalea off, celero wood and intensity NCT?

I use Neo TG2 on FH and T64 on BH. I am looking at the following aspects:

How crisp is the feeling
How hollow is the feeling
How much flex they create on medium and hard impact
Performance in mid-distance power loop

Thank you

Intensity is the fastest with the least flex. Azaleas have a lesser hollow feeling and are suited near the table. Could be at mid distance with very fast rubbers.

It's very fancy.

I love celero wood don't get me wrong. It has pretty good flex and the support for TG2 is ok.

I am just wondering, which Azalea can give a stronger kick than celero? Azalea OFF or Azalea ALL?

I don't feel much difference in speed with the 2 blades but if it is looping and you want the ball to really kick after the bounce, that would be azalea off.

I've played quite a bit with both the Azalea OFF and ALL and both are quite "soft" compared to those stiff blades. Not soft as in slow but the opposite to stiff.

Both Azalea Allround and Azalea Offensive are fairly flexy and of medium speed. Azalea Off is rhe clear winner for if your bleade needs some extra kick. For my rather small hands the Master handle on the Azalea fits great. Others may find it small. For close to the table play Azalea Offensive is a fine choice.

One thing to be careful of: Stiga’s wide variation in blade weight.
I have two Azalea Offensive blades:
87.4g and 92.9g
A 93g blade is heavier than I like.
