The second blade I had was the Stiga Eternity. Before that, I used the Butterfly Sardius. When I compared the Stiga Eternity to the Butterfly Sardius, I found that the Stiga Eternity was not too fast and had a good feel.
Truth is, I wanted to buy an Infinity. I tried one and liked it. I went to the shop but they didn’t have it with an ST handle. They had anatomic and master handles, but no classic handle. The seller suggested I look at an Eternity because it’s similar but faster. I had never heard anything about it.
But I was surprised! It looked fantastic, handmade, with a nice color (but the white stripes in the handle will get dirty). The handle is perfect. It has 5 plies of allwood with VPS technology. I believe the plies are: limba-spruce-ayous-spruce-limba. I bought it.
Mine weighs 88 grams. I put Tenergy 05 on for both BH and FH. I tested it at my club and was surprised. The speed is between Korbel and TB ALC, faster than Clipper, but lighter. It’s very, very spinny, good in short games, and the balance is perfect for me. It feels good (although I switched from a carbon blade). It’s stiffer than an average 5 ply Stiga allwood blade. Serving and blocking are easy, you can take the ball back very short if you want. I don’t know how it works with other rubbers, but with Tenergy, it’s powerful, spinny, with high throw. Easy to spin, you can attack anytime. Many people have tried it and always liked its handle, feel, spin, and speed. It reminds me of my first blade — a Stiga Off Classic with Sriver FX.
Try it.
Pros: — Good speed, great touch and feel — Good flex for power looping and super spinny balloon shots — Great to mid distance looping — Good power
Cons: — Kind of heavy and a little too hard for a 5 ply blade — Not compatible with most rubbers — Requires softer rubbers in general, harder rubbers tend to overshoot and not have any spin due to hardness of blade
Feels like a composite blade without the composite blade. Would recommend to power loopers or well trained players to get the best out of it.
