Although it is slower than some other carbon blades, it compensates this with excellent feel and touch, especially during softer shots. Potential alternatives could include other Stiga models like the Cybershape or various offerings from brands like Butterfly or Donic, but many loyal users find the Dynasty Carbon to be unsurpassed in quality. Overall, the Dynasty Carbon Xu Xin Edition stands out as a reliable, high-performing blade, making it a favorite among serious players who appreciate the finer aspects of the game.
