What an amazing 5 wood blade we have here!

I always played with many Stiga blades: Classic Allround (for start), Stiga WRB, Stiga Offensif Classic, Stiga Infinity VPS, Emerald VPS (too Hard and Stiff), and Stiga Nostalgic All and Off for my last main blade. The Wenge wood gave a bit too hard touch with the Off and the All one was a little too slow without enough power in strokes, so I decided to come back with the Infinity.

Great blade for training my stroke and spin. Backhand flicking is easy, blocking is accurate. Using Mark V combo, they are great partners.

Similar quality with Tibhar Nimbus All, but faster…great allwood blade for allround attacking.

Update July 2019, after paired it with GoldArc 8 max (FH) and MX-S med (BH), the blade shows its true strength. Looping and counter looping are precised and powerful. Touch near the net is controlled. Top spin is lethal…

This is my second blade for training my strokes. It provides good speed and control, especially near and mid-table. I use it with Mark V rubbers, and they work great together. Smashes and fast shots are easy to execute while still maintaining good control. It is also a suitable blade for practicing backhand flicks and topspins. Blocking shots are also accurate. Overall, it is an excellent blade for all-around attackers.

Excellent Off-, this is my competitive blade. It is set up with Vega Tour on the forehand and Evolution FXP for the backhand. The blade seems to be middle of the line in most points. It has the same composition as other classic Off- blades, Limba-Spruce-Ayous, and is finished with the Nittaku quality.

I hear people say that the Nittaku Glaze does well with this blade. Though that may be the case for the Glaze, it is not for this blade. I used the Glaze on this blade and was left dissatisfied.

Use the Tibhar Evolution MP-X. That gives you a great merge of rubber and blade.

Pros: Fast, good for looping, and good price.

Cons: Small sweet spot, and a little heavy.

If you’re a fan of 5-ply all-wood blades, this blade is worth considering. I find it superior to the Acoustic blade due to its firmer feel, which enhances topspin performance. While it offers a decent amount of speed, it’s not overly fast. The handle is also longer, which I appreciate.

#8 — May 2016

The best blade I have ever played with. It offers very high control and dwell. When paired with the Yasaka Rising Dragon, it becomes very easy to loop and produce a lot of spin. It also performs well for smashes and provides consistent blocks. Its high quality and affordability make it an excellent choice.

The Nittaku Acoustic blade offers good speed for looping, but it is relatively slow for flat hitting. It is an exquisitely crafted product by Nittaku and is priced lower than the Acoustic and Tenor blades. However, it possesses nearly identical characteristics. Pairing this blade with the Nittaku Galze and Magic Carbon rubbers is recommended. Its primary strength lies in its exceptional control and precise ball placement. In two months, I intend to upgrade my rubber setup from all-plus to offensive. Overall, this is an excellent blade with a superb finish.

This blade is suitable for all-around offensive players. It offers both good speed and excellent control, making it ideal for short to mid-distance play. For long-distance shots, you may need to exert more power than usual.

In terms of feel, this blade is comparable to the Stiga Clipper Wood CR or Avx P700, despite having only 5-ply woods, while the Clipper and P700 have 7-ply woods.

If you prioritize control in a wood blade, I highly recommend this option. However, if you prefer more speed, the Clipper and P700 might be better choices.

Personally, I have opted for this blade due to its balanced performance and suitability for my playing style.

Excellent blade in the OFF- category. Has the excellent Nittaku quality, great playing characteristics, and a handle that people over 5 feet tall can actually use. With the right rubbers, this blade is great for intermediate to high level players.

It is also relatively light, which makes it easy to handle. The Xiom Offensive S is a good choice for players who want a blade that is both powerful and controllable.
