Stiga CC5

Review of Stiga CC5I was looking for a carbon blade, yet controllable and a guy from my truths worthy store recommended me this one among a few on discount I preselected.Then I was a bit worried because I read some negative reviews on the internet about it, concerned basically about poor quality and the “long trajectory†that presumably would make you to hit balls of the table all the time. I took it for a spin and I was so relieved that it wasn’t true. I used an all-wood offensive blade and I did nothing to adapt myself to this one. It is a bit faster, not very much, but control was pretty much the same. I don’t know if the trajectory changes much but I can assure you that my strokes landed on the table in the exactly same percentage than before. I played the usual guys and they were having much more tough time blocking my topspin, it had more or less the same spin but they were faster, especially flat hits. Other noticeable thing was that I felt that in my backhand loop the combo grabbed the ball much better and I was able to generate crazy spin. To me, it was just like shifting up a gear. Exactly what I was looking for. Nonetheless, there is still another one (maybe the CC7?) and speed is addictive….:) I’ll try to put a slighter harder sponge as I tried it with Xiom Vega Europe and Acuda S2. About quality, they were right tough. Handling has poor quality and it is a bit sharp. I cannot understand how STIGA does not take care of these details in general, but specially on a 100+ € blade. In short, a fine blade that an attacking player would enjoy for sure. What I’m not sure if it is worth the full price but if you get a good offer, I’d say that it’s a blade to have in your arsenal.

Review of TSP Reflex 50 Award OFFAwesome blade! Fast, but with a lot of control. Very nice sound and elegant. Its handle is cushioned, which gives a very distinctive feeling. But above all, it has an unbeatable quality/price ratio. For a few bucks you will definitely have a long lasting, good enough blade for 95% of the players. Don't miss it!Apr 29, 2015 | |||||||||||||||
