5 out of 5 rating for Maplewood NCT V

This is my first blade used for penhold (rubber on both side). Comparing with another blade Stiga Rosewood XO, the maple wood can generate more spin and speed. It is also easy to control once you get used to it. The dwell time of the ball is great, due to the soft nature of the blade. The only drawback is that it is a bit too heavy and thick for penhold play. Compare with Rosewood XO, the recovery time is longer and it can feel too thick.

Overall, a great blade that is underestimated, highly recommended for loopers.

I used this blade with Tenergy 80FX on FH and Airoc astro S 18mm on BH. This blade is fast with long dwelling time and generates good spin, and also has good control, and blocking. This blade generates vibration which makes nice feeling touch, and when I stroke the ball strongly, I feel the blade's vibration makes the ball faster like catapult effect. But one thing I don't like is sound when touching the ball slowly or at the gently touch... like sound generated from hiting the hollow thing...
