Why? After weeks of research You are the only one to ever say that
I played with it for a while, broke two of them in an accident that I have had with other blades which didn't break. I had some decent results with it but also lacks something compared to more solid blades but that is my opinion, it is not everyone else's.

i would recommend butterfly petr korbel or donic waldner offensive 2016 if you want a little more stiffness (i own the butterfly and i am quite happy with it, no downside so far from my experience, for the donic i only read a lot about and from what i found out it is similar to the butterfly only little stiffer).
Edit: Also from what i read people also say that this powerwood is pretty good as well so why not give it a try.

The blade you are suggesting is so expensive i think i will stick with the SPW
Considering most high quality blades are over $200 USD or so, it is actually not expensive at all IMO. You get a very good blade with high quality that will last you a long time. Since NL mentions SPW is fragile, Butterfly blades are not like that. Innerforce ALC is only around $150 or so on certain websites anyways

I like SPW a lot, used it for a while, I have owned several. IMO I think its a great blade to get a taste of a real racket but for those who start to develop a legitimate modern attacking technique, I think 7 ply blades like Xiom Solo and Szocs Signature 1/Samsonov Force Pro have better support and also act more predictably without fully transitioning to a carbon blade.

SPW is a great blade. I have six of them. I played with it for about 2 years with hurricane on the forehand and G-1 on the backhand. Both G-1 and C-1 last forever. You will do very well with that combo.

Later on when you want faster speed, yes, go for Donic Persson Powerplay.

Hey guys I am an amateur player trying to improve and i am thinking to get this racket combo. Is there something i can change to make it better? My playstyle is aggressive but I like to defend too. Any recommendations on something?

Hi guys. I am planning to get stratus powerwood for the Fastarc g1 c1 combo. I am sure that I will get these rubbers. I am an offensive player that sometimes defends too. Any recommendations for the blade

Your two threads were the same exact subject matter. I have merged them.

You can't do that. You cannot have multiple threads on the same subject, especially if they were started within days of each other.

Tibhar Stratus Power Wood is a fine blade. It is made sort of cheaply. As NextLevel says, it is easily breakable.

If you wanted a more solid version of a blade that is quite similar, Butterfly Petr Korbel is similar enough and much more solid. The build quality is just way better. But the ply construction is the same. Head shape is a little different. But both blades have a slightly larger blade face than most offensive blades. This gives the blade more (bigger) feeling.
