Xu Xin's Equipment

Seems hard to justify the price point. No rare wood, special process and it's very little carbon weave?

Perhaps that is just the price at the world cup? Maybe it will be less expensive later on

Butterfly wannabes.

No, this is retail prices they said. They weren't actually selling it there, they only had maybe 3 of each that they could sell at the end of the event for people that were really interested. I was until I heard the prices lol

That's unfortunate... Is this Stiga's first blade named after someone? Sad if they fall into Butterfly's over-priced business strategy. If only other companies learned from Yasaka's Ma Lin Extra Offensive.

I also wish Stiga made a slower, more controllable version of the blade. Too many carbon blades without control nowadays

I love this thread, good info

Carbonado 45/90 are more on control even if they are carbon blades.

Plus they will be half the price.

Very true. Although for some reason, the Carbonado series and Infinity VPS aren’t as popular among cpen users as the hardwood series (Rosewood, Intensity, etc). Maybe it would be different if Xu Xin started using one of the Carbonados hehe.

I got it !

I want it I want it I want it I want it...
Seriously though, I think the price will come down for the regular version after a while.

Good point. I was thinking I wouldn't want to play with a blade that has Xu Xin's signature... I would put it in a hermetically sealed bank vault.

I don't play with this blade, it's signed by Xu Xin.

Coming soon was more black outer and new-new stiga is thicker.
I think new blade has more control and its slower but easier to play near the table.

So where is your real XX blade to play with?
