Stiga Dynasty Review

no lmao

Why not? Is TeXtreme not another name of Zilon?

Is this blade comparable to ZJK SZLC?

I don't think so. The feeling of ZJKSZLC is more metallic and it is bouncier with a more direct arc. Dynasty is slower and woodier feeling with better arc, the fiber layer is thinner and less prominent

The carbon layer in Dynasty Carbon is extremely thin. It's under an extremely thin layer of koto wood. Effectively, the carbon is the outer layer of this blade. It's meant to be very similar to 5-ply hardwood blades like the Rosewood, Ma Lin Extra Offensive, etc, which have a hard outer layer and soft inner layers. Dynasty Carbon feels like a 5-ply hardwood blade unless you hit the ball hard.

Zhang Jike SZLC is much faster and has a thicker layer of koto on the surface. The carbon is not meant to mimic the outer hardwood layer -- it is there to create speed. Every shot you hit with ZJKSZLC will be fast, due to the carbon.

If one compares the numbes measured at the Lab this clearly support aboves statement.
BTY with higher EP will be much faster than Dynasty
BTY with higher VP will be much harder than Dynasty

I just tried this blade. Stiga Dynasty Carbon.
It has the best feeling blade for me..I have tried lots of blades from T5000, SZLC, ZLC, ALC, W968, 5 PLY, 7 PLY WOOD, 1 Ply wood. But this one, it feels easier to use with most kind of basic strokes. Great feel too, on most of strokes. Drive, topspin, loop, block. I am enjoying this blade as well as the sound. Controlled short game too if you practice it. I am hoping I will end my equipment junkie virus because of this.
