For the STIGA Tube Offensive WRB blades, the micro-channels are filled with an extremely hard wood. A blade that Stga has always strived to produce; incredible speed and wonderful feeling in the same blade. The STIGA TUBE blades are manufactured using a new technology where the middle veneer has gone through a revolutionary treatment. STIGA has programmed it's high tech blade manufacturing machines to mill "micro-channels" lengthways in the middle ply of the blades. The channels are then filled with different materials depending on the blades desired characteristics. Due to this revolutionary construction, the blades "feeling" does not disappear even if the blade is very fast.
Very good offensive blade. I use Donic Bluefire M2 on FH and Donic Bluefire JP03 on BH. With this setup the paddle has great control and allows to do pretty much anything: serve return, short game, topspin, drive, smash. One downside to this blade is that it is more fragile if compared to Butterfly blades.
Played this blade some years ago, but also for three years at least, may be I should try it again. I sorted my Tube Off (84 g) out because of increasing breakings of the core, so it lost stability and stiffness. It felt really special with it's fine and sensitive vibrations. I bought another one 2nd hand (87 g) and it vibrated more roughly but was faster also. I didn't like it. So I repaired my better one (glued the core) and put a new outer ply on it. I'm about to test it. But my Yinhe T-7 (rated here 0.4 less in speed) is a lot more faster than the TUBE Off. Played mid-soft rubbers on the bh and medium (mostly Nitttaku Hammond pro alpha) rubbers on fh. I wouldn't recommend hard chinese rubbers on the TUBE Off, because of the medium hard hitting moment.
Good Blade.
Large spot.
The feeling is medium (not so hard). So, soft and medium rubbers are a good choice.
I felt this blade a little heavy with two rubbers (I`m a penholder with RPB).
Control and speed depends on the hability of each one. But really more faster the controller.
