The balance between speed, weight and control is outstanding in the Allround Wood NCT blade. With the NCT you will hit the ball herder without sacrificing control.
STIGA NCT Wood: Changing the Way the Game is played.
The STIGA NCT blades use the latest technologies -- it is designed for the new era that begins with the ITTF speed glue ban in 2008. In fact, it employs a secret ingredient which testing has shown helps you hit the ball harder and increases the life of the blade. The new era of table tennis has started at STIGA: has it with you?
Stiff and soft blade, not fast, good for close-to-table loopers and blockers.
In detail:
Throw: very high.
Spin: any rubbers seems to have more spin with this blade. Just great.
Speed: this blade is much faster than Allround classic, because the plies are glued with a carbon-based glue (NCT technology). So the speed is OFF-. this blade is slower than Offensive Wood NCT.
Stiffness: this blade is stiff. Offensive Wood NCT has more flex. The stiffness provides more control close to the table.
Weight: mine is 75 grams. Very light. This is a huge plus if you use heavy rubbers.
Comparison with similar blades: This blade is a faster version of Stiga allround classic; it has the same touch without being harder (whereas allround CR was faster but harder). Throw is just a tiny bit lower than allround classic.
