Hello,
I’m looking for a new blade as I feel now really comfortable with the speed and control of my setup (stiga all around classic + 2 rakza 7 soft 2mm) and I think I can upgrade it now
I’m looking for
My style is an intermediate all around offensive player. I’m slightly backhand dominant and I like to do a lot of variation with my BH (flip, banana, more or less pinny loop, power loop..). But I get a lot of point with my FH loop that I do with my full body so with good power.
Also I really like short game and mainly serve backspin. Open on backspin is important in my game.
I still can’t really counterloop so I get passive in my game when my opponent get the initiative. I begin to work on it
What I have seen and some questions
Also about the handle : I currently have a flared handle. Should I prefer a straight handle as I play slightly more backhand ?
So what do you think ? Any advice ? Thanks a lot, it’s not easy to make an idea on all this..

I’m looking for
- A 5 ply wood blade
- A stiga blade but I’m open to other ideas
- What is the most important for me is control and feeling. Then I look for more spin then more speed
- Something that works very well with 2 rakza 7 soft 2mm OR rakza 7 2mm on FH and soft version on BH (I’m thinking to use it next for my FH)

What I have seen and some questions
- Infinity VPS : The one I think the more about. But it’s rated ‘stiff’ on the stiga website and wondering if it won’t be a problem for looping, flip, short game.. ?
- Offensive NCT : It seems very nice but what is NCT ?
- Offensive classic : Is there a real difference with all around classic ? And isn’t it too old ?
- Rosewood NCT V and Ebenholz NCT V : Seems a bit too fast, no ?
- Intensity NCT : Seems good, noted as ‘power’ in elasticity. Don’t know what to think about it
Also about the handle : I currently have a flared handle. Should I prefer a straight handle as I play slightly more backhand ?
