Stiga Carbonado 190

C190 (100g/m2 of carbon) is 90g, similar in weight to TB ALC (84g), but with larger paddle dimensions. The handle is super comfortable, like the C290 (200g/m2; 95g).

The C190 is a very good OFF blade, with a nice touch for short gameplay. It excels at looping, defense, and smashing. The C290 adds more punch to all aspects of gameplay, especially for effortless smashing.

Very good blade, but mine is different and slower than those of my colleagues who are also using the same blade (we purchased from the same Stiga Dealer).

The blade is very heavy, but it works great with Hurricane 3 or 8, and Rakza 7. It provides amazing power and control, along with a great feel. Additionally, there are no annoying vibrations.

The Stiga Carbonado 190 is a great choice for short-distance play due to its distinct features. It has become my go-to blade; I use Tenergy 80 on both sides and get a great feel from it. I’ve adapted my style to this blade and simply love it.

All I can say is, don’t hesitate to buy this blade. It has great control and speed.

My current setup is: - Forehand: Black Hurricane 8 - Backhand: Red Skyline TG3

I have tried out both of the new Stiga Carbonado blades and I’m really impressed with both of these blades. I have played with them for a few practices and here is a short summary of my impressions. Both are offensive fast blades but not super fast, they both had an outstanding control (one of the best blades I have tried when it comes to feeling and control).

The blades play pretty similar to each other but the difference between the blades is the angle of the carbon. Both blades got big sweet spots and every hit felt the same even if I was hitting the ball a little close to the edge. I used them together with both Calibra sound and Calibra Lt which I felt was a good combination.

Both blades are suited for all-round to offensive players who got a close to mid-range game style. I have not fully decided which one of the 145 or 190 blade I will choose yet but I recommend you all to try out them both.

Excellent blade for close/mid-distance play. It has a slightly low throw, which keeps your loop drives and blocks close to net height.

I’m using Andro Rasant (black) on FH and Tibhar Aurus Soft on BH. Both rubbers are med/med-high throw and hence fit perfectly on this blade. Especially Aurus Soft is a perfect BH rubber for this blade (Aurus Soft is not very speedy, hence matching this fast blade + med-high throw rubber matching the low throw of the blade).

The arc of backhand loop, played either over the table or away from the table, gets the ball to land almost always on the other side.

Very fast racket! Blade has an impact force that makes up for the balls' skidding and the sponge is soft but not too soft. The carbon layers create enough stiffness and yet it’s easy to maneuver due to its thinness and lightness. Also, due to it’s symmetrical head shape it works well for both forehands and backhands.

Stiga Carbonado 190 is truly impressive. It stands out with its unique and distinctive characteristics. The blade is remarkably lightweight, contributing to its impressive speed. It provides a distinctive feel, adding to its unique playing experience. The sound it produces during play is notably pleasant.

In comparison to my previous rackets, such as Butterfly Moonbeam, Stiga Carbo Oversize 7.1, and Stiga Titanium, the Stiga Carbonado 190 offers a medium level of control. I opted to equip my forehand with Yasaka Rakza 7 Soft and my backhand with Mark V. This combination has proven to be highly effective. I highly recommend the Stiga Carbonado 190 for those seeking an exceptional playing experience.
