Our 5-ply controlled offensive, mid balanced racket also known as 'offensive minus' style. Due to the layer structure and special building process it collaborates well with rubbers from the new era.

We recommend Virtuoso for players who emphasize spin in their offensive game besides variety of other strokes. Good handling, easy swinging, high amount of spin.

The optimal playing distance is mid distance but you will not feel lack of power from further.

It highly bites the ball and throws it in a fine arc to ensure smooth placing. Provides controlled flexibility meanwhile delivers as much information as you need into your palm to let you react well.

Absolutely great blade. It feels solid but not hard at all. Feeling is a little muted and hollow like the old Stiga blades from the 70/80s. There are no unpleasant vibrations. The feedback is superb. Virtuoso is less bouncy than the Expert. Well-balanced blade. Looping, blocking, hitting, short game: all strokes are powerful with a lot of control. You can do all offensive strokes with it very well. A real off-minus blade with strong properties. First class craftmanship. This is definitely MY blade, that I was searching for. Playing it since 10 months and there is still no desire to look for another blade.

More than 6 months in and I'm sticking with this blade. Incredibly versatile blade. In the past I played blades that either A) hit well or B) looped well. This does both. Flex is medium so hitting and smashing are very predictable. Loops have a good long arc to the baseline allowing you to pressure blockers and counterhitters who play close. The softness provides great feel and dwell, and the blade "loads" really well to give you enough topspin to loopkill close to the table. Blade has enough pace to take out to mid distance and still pressure your opponents. And the feedback on the blade is absolutely perfect, your hand knows where the ball will land at the moment of contact.[ TL;DR Report: Faster than Stiga Offensive Classic Control rivals Stiga Allround

Just an amazing blade! "Amazing" is the word who defines this handmade blade in my opinion! It's a blade for complex players who don't stick with just one style but who can play any types of strokes if they have good physical training because you need force to get high speed. But if you take control of the game placing the ball where ever you want (and the blade offers you the tool to do it), with enough speed, you'll be the winner. I really love it! It gives you the pleasure to play real table tennis. Nothing to say more!

OSP Virtuoso Off- Beautiful blade. I think this is already the best blade for me. All the things I am looking for in a blade: 1. Super spinny serve, spinny push and spinny loops 2. With much FEEL and vibrations that helps me 3. Super nice handle suited for my backhand and forehand grip transition 4. So much control on receiving serves and short games 5. Powerful on strong shots 6. Linear, not springy 7. Best for thin brushing, powerlooping as well as smashing 8. Truly it is a blade for all kind of shots 9. It is specially handmade 10. I believe it is stable and can match composite blades for stability and sweet spot I tried almost 40 blades, w968, Super ZLC, ZLC, ALC, 7 ply, 5 ply, 1 Ply Hinoki. Maybe, this is the blade suited for my level for now out of all the blades I tried. Hoping my EJ ends for now. Before this, I am using 5 ply allwood 5.5mm limba limba ayous limba limba.
