I’m using the penhold version. This blade is light, which is a plus as you can get to the ball just that bit faster to better place or loop the ball or block an incoming attack ball.

Being an all-round wood blade, the balance is tilted towards control and good feedback (feel) rather than speed. For an intermediate leisure player like myself, that translates to a higher percentage of my shots landing on the table where I want them to be.

There are some vibrations, especially if you use a medium-soft rubber like myself, but you get used to it. Overall, the price is very reasonable for what I would consider a well-made all-round blade.

Pros:

  • This blade is about 5mm thick and weighs only 73 grams, making it lightweight and easy to maneuver.

Cons:

  • You will feel more vibration every time the ball hits the blade, which can be distracting to some players.
  • It’s hard to find a suitable rubber for this Stiga Allround CR cpen blade (JTTAA, Non WRB), so you may need to experiment with different rubbers to find the best combination for your playing style.
