Stiga Intensity NCT Carbon

[+] excellent blade, light weight, very fast, large sweet spot, excellent dwell time, feeling is great, control is excellent (just think where you want to hit the ball and results are fantastic), [-] edges are sharp where face of racket bends into the handle. it'll hurt your middle finger of shakehand player. you can solve this problem by rubbing a file and can make the sharp edges round.

I would say a very VERY reliable blade. You have enough speed and control. You don't need more power, definitely OFF not OFF+. Everything is up to you. Topspins and blocks are great and predictable. Carbon is ultra thin so you have more stability without loosing control. GREAT blade. Update: After some more time with this ... wow ... i think i found my perfect blade and will put away my other two great blades- Innerforce ZLC and Nittaku Violin because stability is unmatchable. No more looking at the blade after some strange shots thinking "wtf". This blade does EXACTLY what you want from it and when you make a mistake you know what you did. Amazing.

Switched to Stiga intensity carbon from Tibhar Marcos freitas few days ago.This blade is light weight ,has good speed,definitely faster than Marcos.It is not as stiff as Marcos you can sense a bit of vibration,but this adds good feel and ball control.Has a larger head than other manufactures.Needs bit of sanding on handle. Lacquering is recommended.One of the best carbon blade from Stiga .

Very satisfied suits my style. Short game satisfying. Flat hits have assisted my game marginally. Opponents commended my short game. There was a great percentage of misconception perceived by player’s receiving my serves whilst using this blade also. I felt that I had great control in serve game and a vast variety of spin/ no spin serves at my disposal. This blade assisted me in tricking my opponent at different sections of play in the game. I found that I was able to trick players at the serve (spin/no spin), “appear” to be accelerating spin on rally exchanges and keeping ball marginally shorter after receiving half long serves. These were highlight moments using this blade. Some similar experiences to when I used YEO. From what I can recall from YEO experiences I feel that the benefits of this blade are: 1. Slight increase in speed 2. Light weight blade. Negatives: 1.spin. All things considered for my style this blade set up is a what I seek. Stay forward TT enthusiasts

In the latest I come from using Friendship 729 V6 & L3 blades and now I bought this Stiga Intensity NCT Carbon. I started using it with DHS Skyline TG2 NEO/DHS Tinarc 3. The speed is a bit higher in this, and control is fine. It works good brush looping on forehand, but my backhand is a bit harder to get the top spins to work properly. I Think that the blade is a Little bit to bouncy for me, and it's a Little heavier than my Friendship blades. Compared to other concave handles, this isn't fitting my hand exactly. I have to struggle a bit to get a good grip when I play. I had a Stiga Hans Alsér (large concave), Stiga Erik Lindh (quite straight) and these Friendship blades (concave). I have no problem with any of them, only this Stga Intensity NCT Carbon. Now I have returned to my Friendship 729 V6 blade again. It's a bit slower, lighter and gives me a better grip and better Control.
