New Stiga blades: Luma and i1

[Tembel]

Do you think it has good dwell when you loop?

Yes, dwell is good. Definitely more dwell with I1 than with I.e. Cybershape Carbon or Viscaria.

Anyone in Europe with a Stiga Luma in spare they can sell/source?

Luma Hybrid acquired. Going to pair with H3 Neo 40 degree BS and DNA Hybrid H.

Quality is miles better than any normal made in Sweden Stiga blade, so excited to try.

Mine is 93g and quite stiff. Arc is lower than with a Clipper. Good feeling on the short game and serves. Not as bouncy as outer alc blades with koto outer. But still quite good power away from the table. Opening up against backspin is fine, but for sure not as easy as with something less stiff, such as a 5 play wood or so, but definitely easier than with a Super ALC Viscaria.

Prott (Luma), however shipment was sent from Europe, which I found funny, as the blade itself is not available here in Europe, but limited to the asian market right now.

Edit: Perhaps they got a european warehouse, as I also ordered other stuff with it.

Limited playing time with it, however it's very crisp, but surprised that it still has good flex for an outer carbon. Still has good feeling and handle is perfect. Weight balance of the blade is also really nice and overall feel of it is that it's very effortless. Fits perfect with the rubbers I've put on, but also not surprising as this is similar setup to what Wen Rubio uses.
For the price it's amazing, this blade should be priced around higher end Butterfly blades in my opinion.
