It's not a stiga cr clone cuz I own both blades and really this blade has to be paired with soft rubbers otherwise you'll lose feedback. i used it a long time with H3 prov FH and changed many times my BH cuz i couldn't find a rubber to fit until i put butterfly flextra and it was really good.
I would not recommend this blade anyway and no sweat cuz they stopped selling it ;)
Very controllable blade, tested this with Yasaka Mark V, the same rubber I use to test all my blades. It's got good all-wood control and feeling, perhaps thanks to the hollow in the handle; works very well for someone looking for a first blade, or looking to try something different.
Who says this is a clone of Stiga Offensive CR WRB obviously does not own a Stiga Offensive CR WRB.
Stiga OCR is flexible, galaxy U4 is stiff. You can also see at a glance that galaxy u4 is much thicker (and that's why it is less flexible).
The materials look the same, and the UV treatment looks the same, but they play a lot different because of the difference in flexibility. Galaxy is not as good as Stiga OCR for looping and for returning underspin.
Galaxy U4 weighs 83 grams, stiga OCR WRB weighs 89 grams.
