Stiga Defensive Classic

Review of Stiga Defensive ClassicVery good quality wood at an acceptable price.The dimensions are 165x156 and weighs 74 g with a flat handle. The cross section of the handles is rectangular with elipsed corners, so the feeling of holding is comfortable. The handle is full and the focus is shifted to the handle so there is no feeling of heavy head. The feeling is soft and is very convenient for thin rubbers and thin sponges on backside. I use ox long pips on forehand and backside is with 1.3 mm sponge and this racket is great balance. It is quite easy to run defensive chop strikes at the table and at the distance from the table. They have enough power and speed to the counterattacks hit the target and made no effort to make it clear after long range of blows. Over the past two years I have tried many defensive woods, but this is best in the general impression of the defensively allruond game. Very recommended.My set up :Spinlord Blitzschlag ox,Tibhar Superdefence soft 1.3 on Stiga Defensive Classic. Jul 05, 2019 | |||||||||||||||

Review of Tibhar CO-S 3 DefensiveSoft feel,not to slow.Enough power for finish smash and spindrive shot.Verry good balance between handle and blade.I use it for combination ox long pips(Blitzschlag)forehand !!!,and tin fast classic rubber(Nittaku Hammond 1.4).Control is verry good,especial chop middle far from table ,good for short game near the table and it is possible to attack undercut incoming balls.I dont know why is so cheap,because I tried few expensive defensive blade but this suits me the most.Recommended for modern defence players who mostly play chop and block witf occasional attack.Jul 30, 2017 | |||||||||||||||

Review of Tibhar Li QianThe quality of the wood is top notch. I use grass without a sponge to hunt off the table and push punches on the forehand side (mostly TSP P3 alpha). On the backhand side is a Nitaku Flyatt spin with a thinner sponge. This allows for short play without lifting the ball, very precise blocks and strong counterattacks.LQ is a medium slow def.wood but at the time of the attacking shots gives a feeling of sufficient strength.You can surprise opponents by occasionally turning the racket after every third or fourth shots because the wood has an outstanding balance.Like a mixture of good characteristics Victas K.Matsushita and Butterfly Hadraw. It is not too hard or too soft and has very moderate vibrations. I searched for such properties for a long time and finally found the right one for my way of playing. It costs about 100 Euros, but it is worth every money invested. Especially important for such wood is the control, which is really very good.Recommendation for gluing ox grass: use one or even two adhesive foils (I use Nittaku Nori sheet) because water glue still softens the surface of the wood and changes its properties. Tibhar LQ is well protected with varnish at the factory, so there is no peeling of the veneer when removing the foil. Apr 18, 2021 | |||||||||||||||

Victas Koji Matsushita Defensive

Review of Victas Koji Matsushita DefensiveThis blade is great. For the past two years I have been looking for a blade with these properties and finally found it. Excellent control on the racket combined with ox grass and offensive rubber on the other side. The balance is emphasized, especially full strength.At a distance from the table shows excellent placement and safe chop returns.It is moderate weight (82g) and does not tire the hand.Only the handle should be a little thicker and less slippery when sweating A little grip track is the solution.Very quality workmanship for so thin blade.Worth these great prices for one of the best bledes for modern defense.Control for defensive and balance power for counterattack.May 13, 2020 | |||||||||||||||
