New Equipment 2021

I have tried asking Stiga and they said the same thing with no specific date only probable month.
About the new Tenergies and Evolution series, they are stamped early by Ittf after approval but not necessarily released to the market asap. Evolution rubbers were in the ittf for 2 or 3 yrs before market release, it does not prove your theory outright.

I've asked Christophe Legoût, the french representattive for Butterfly and former ITTF n°11. He has also been endorsed in his debut by another brand, Banco.
We had a phone call and he has confirmed my theory about the protos and their wait for release because of the pro players testing them, and also said that because of the new colors many brands are indeed sending many protos to the ITTF way before their official release. I've told him about the HUGE ! number of Stiga new rubbers entered in the LARC, and like me he also thinks that we won't see them released soon, maybe a DNA Pro Extra Hard and an hybrid, but that's all: that would not be a smart move to release so much new rubbers in a new range a few time after the DNA Pro range that is selling well for the moment.

It is non-bearing since Stiga already told me that the possible date for release is possibly May or June for all the rubbers. I know the story behind several ESN brands and this is the reason why I am basing this on my speculation. Unless of course you know better than Stiga who has given me the info.

The Export Global Representative of Stiga does know more compared to your source since he is from Stiga himself.

I almost forgot about this instagram post from Stiga LOL.

Hi Yogi,

assuming that you've received it, if you could answer few questions:

1 - what is the blade thickness?
2 - is the handle hollow?
3- handle size is it like new Stradivarius or HAL?
4 - how thick is the hinoki veneer?

thanks
