Thick cnf on the photo.

It’s available now. Just saw it at TTKokusai

Pretty sure it's not CNF. I'm 99% sure it's a UHMWPE fiber (Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene), like the Spectra I've been using for years...

From Stigas homepage "Wavy Ultra Fibre is one of our fastest-ever blades".
Naaah, not for me....

Yeah it doesnt look like cnf

A friend have used it for a couple of months. He likes it more than the other stiga blades.

So if it's indeed Spectra, or Dyneema or something in that family, could you give a theoretical idea as to how it could play?

Can you compare the Spectra fiber with the Diolen and Aramid fiber?
Please compare non-carbon fibers.

What does this company have against ALC?

What does this company have against ALC?

Nothing. It's just more baseless marketing spin from an industry that has become hopelessly addicted to it.

Most mass market blades are sold / marketed based largely around their composite layers, and the myth of high tech engineering.

This has very little to do with science, and everything to do with the perception of science.

ALC has been used in blades for so long now it has become ubiquitous, and in doing so, it has also lost it's 'high tech' positioning in people's minds.

As someone who worked as a professional branding consultant for over 20 years, I find the these sort of marketing practices by the TT equipment industry highly distasteful, and simply bad business practice. It lacks the necessary element of truth, which makes it simply bad communication, full stop. This whole 'high tech blade' proposition has become a rod for the back of blade makers everywhere.

If TT companies actually spent all the money on product development they collectively claim they do, the blades we use would be smart enough to swing themselves by now. 🙄

Yea, but ALC outsells textreme by a huge margin. Doee Stiga hate money?

Please compare non-carbon fibers.

It depends on the density their using, the photo is not good enough for me to evaluate that, but I suspect it's close to what I'm using. The thing is that Spectra is very resistant to abrasion, so the edges on the blade are very hard to finish smoothly, it's that rugged look that makes it seem thicker. The main benefit of UHMWPE fibers is that they are very light, so you can have a very fine weave pattern, relatively thick, while still being light, this is the perfect medium for the resin. This also frees up some of the constraints that using other fibers usually give, and allows to go in other directions. The "secret" to this blade it's the thickness, not particularly the fiber. The thing is, if you made a 6.5mm blade with ALC, AC or plain carbon, it would be certainly faster, but it would also be too hard and stiff. You could use a plain non-carbon fabric such as Aramid or Diolen, but those are heavier, so the whole thing could get too heavy. UHMWPE strikes a nice balance of lightness/softness, for this particular structure. I believe it will still be a very stiff blade, with a long and low trajectory, but not too hard. The rest of their claims also lines up with my experience with Spectra, it makes a loud sound, and gives a clear feedback.

With what rubbers?

It's amazing. Fast but with control. Crisp and you feel the ball in a good way. Best blade I've played.

 

[Saiph]

So is it faster than, say, Cybershape Carbon or Inspira CCF? Can anyone compare? or maybe make a short review

I haven't tried either of those blades, but I think it is easily faster than Viscaria family blades, and also might be a bit faster than my FZDSALCs. Wavy has a very transparent and natural feeling, a very crispy impact but it has some softness, but to me it was a bit stiff feeling sometimes because Wavy is around 6.2-6.3mm thick: when I was hitting hard I felt a bit afraid sometimes that my shots would come out too flat even though they carried great speed. But control was not quite as difficult to grasp with Wavy as when I was trying outer SZLC blades like ZJKSZLC or thick 3+2 carbon blades like Primo Carbon and Sardius. I haven't played extensively with my Wavy but those are my impressions after a handful of sessions

 

[andzejgolot]

Is someone WHO can review the blade?

 

[NextLevel]

I bought one but I haven't had time to put on rubbers and play with it. I probably only have 09c to put on as well, but it will be a while before I have time to review.

Est-ce que quelqu'un peut examiner la lame ?

I dit it on my youtube channel :
