Stiga is expanding

[raazzz]

I read that STIGA is expanding their Production with another building. Do any of you guys have any pictures from the building site or perhaps inside the production?

I would love to see some pictures from different brands production. Does anyone have Butterfly's rubber production?

Who do you mean are better on blades? STIGA is world leading on blades. Rubbers is another story although.

Imho. Before yes. But now no. Nittaku, butterfly, etc are much better in making blades and the quality is better than stiga blades. Even the allwood blades.

In which way do you think that Butterfly and Nittaku are world leading on blades? They produce almost only light veneer blades with the same technology in almost all the blades. Butterfly also have around 13 different blades named Timo Boll. I honestly think that they have run out of ideas.


STIGA on the other hand always tries to come up with new technologies and different high end woods. For example, I think that there new Textreme Carbon technology will be something completely new in table tennis.




When was the last time Butterfly released something that wasn't Arylate or Zylon?

Going by your argument, szlc is just zylon therefore Textreme is essentially carbon. Nothing new there, stiga released another carbon blade, only the Carbon weave is different. nittaku released the basaltech blades, which in imho is definitely new compared to textreme. Quality and finishing wise stiga needs to improve compared to other brands.

Dont get me wrong, i use stiga blades and rubbers. I just think they are not the best or world leading. They even havent released a blade with an alc, zlc, or other composite materials other than carbon.

I need to get myself into this argument.

You are apparently clueless and doesn't know what Textreme is. TeXtreme is the by far most developed carbon material in the world. Textreme is a patented technology where the fibers are used in a whole different way than any outer carbon available! If you don't call that cutting edge, I don't know what is.

Don't get me wrong. Butterfly produce some fine blades, in my opinion they re-use all their technologies and make the same blades over and over again. They should stick to the rubbers, that's what they are good at. And let STIGA handle the blades!

Stigas blades are awesome, but the finishing is nothing compare to Nittaku and Butterfly. Dont get me wrong here, but i have tried 15-20 different Stigablades, but they are NOT in the same league as Nittakus. You should experience these blades:

The finishing are way over Stigas. That said, im actually playing Rosewood and Clipper-blades...BUT you will get to pay way more, to get these blades from Nittaku...

Still is essentially carbon. have you seen stiga release blades that is not either all wood, with or without "special coating", very hollow handles, or carbon blades? Would you say that szlc isn't something new?

I agree that Stiga makes SOME great blades, but they're not the best blade maker.

Lol, guys seriously, all brands will claim they are the best blades, best rubbers or what not
Stiga is a great marketing company just like all other brands.

They keep producing the best equipment, so what does the old one mean? the worse? lol

Check how to roll out Calibra, then Calibra Tour, then Airoc, so does that mean that Calibra Tour is redundant and useless as it is likely the shortest lived rubber before some replacement came out?

Xiom also has some own patent "technology" that Stiga doesn't have, so is now Xiom the best? Xiom QC and finish is superior over Stiga too, especially the made in Korea blades....

Its all marketing, every one will claim to have the best
