Tested for 2 weeks (FH T64 1.9, BH Stiga Boost TX/TS 1.8/2.0). I was impressed by supreme control, easy high-speed counter close to the table or just block, short to short. Perfect for close to the table, a little less for mid-distance (depends on rubbers, Tenergy is definitely much better). I was really satisfied, so I bought one (as the tested one was CON I ordered ST).

Played several months with this blade (changed on BH T64 1.7).

After about 4 months, the blade became slower and softer (“more dead”). The change was so evident that I don’t play with this blade anymore. Really pity.

Nice blade, ideal for offensive play close to the table.

However, it lacks speed for the Loop to Loop at a distance.

Nonetheless, it remains a visually appealing blade for spin-offensive/all-round players.

Really nice blade. Definitely not recommended for beginners. High intermediate to expert-level players will love this blade due to its speed and weight! Three to four years of practice are recommended before you start trying out this blade. It can ruin your stroke if you’re a beginner or low intermediate-level player.
