Review of Loki Arthur K5 Pro

This review is about the Loki K5 which is available for the price of ~50$ and not for the K5 Pro also known as the W81 Pro. Be careful those blades look almost the same( the W81 has a golden star in the lense). Main difference is that the W81 is outer ALC and the K5 is inner ALC. I played Stiga Infinity VPS 5 years before I switched to this blade so I take the Stiga blade as a benchmark.

The K5 Stucture is: Limba - Ayous -ALC - Ayous - ALC - Ayous - Limba

For long stroke players will love this blade. Especially if you like chinese rubbers, the blade will make them come alive. I switched from Stiga Infinity VPS and had no problems to adjust because in the short game its very controled, but when you add power it packs more punch. For me a very nice upgrade, now I need less power for the same effort without sacrificing the short game.

Backhandflicks are as good and easy to play as with the Infinity VPS.

The handle in FL(flared) is close to the Stiga Legend handle but not quiet as thick. The K5 handle is way smoother out of the box than the Stiga Infinity handle.
Highly recommend if you want to switch to carbon blade.
