The total numbers of veneers in this blade is 13 (7 wood and 6 carbon), the microscopical carbon layers have been placed between each veneer.
The STIGA technicians have in this way evaded "the natural laws". Thanks to the innovated construction of Carbo 7.6, the speed increased without allowing the carbon to stop the natural movement and resilience of each veneer layers.
The benefits are INCREASED POWER WITH EXTRA TOUCH AND FEEL.
I used it actively for three years, and kept it for the next seven years. When I changed the rubers on it,it was deformed. But I didn't throw it away, I fixed it and still keep it.
- The head is heavier, evacuated for the handle and has air in it. The balance is adjusted in such a way that the greatest force comes to the most effective area for spin. It's a real spin master.
- You will have difficulty in controlling on very bouncy tires. However, I can say that it is more compatible with Chinese tires, which are a little sticky and light.
- When I played with it, I felt safe at every distance.
If you like more spin, it's for you.
I had to rate this blade very highly. When I first got this blade I did not think I would like it. The balance is not a graceful thing and it is very heavy (which I don't mind) It has surprisingly good "feel" to it when you hit the ball, it has a lot of power, seems to be very accurate and easiliy controlled for a blade of this power. I still don't like the way it feels in my hand or the balance of it, it is kinda like a club, but i find when I get to playing or practicing it gets the job done VERY well. It also appears to be very well constructed.
I haven't had it long and will write more later.
I have been using this for 8 months now and it is the perfect blade for me. It is best if you give it time and learn to control it. Once you do you can land beautiful, powerful topspins and very short touches. It combines the best of speed with attainable control suited to the aggressive styles of table tennis.
