Stiga Intensity NCT

Super for looping. The ball is loaded with spin and has a long dwell time, meaning you can carry the ball on the blade for an extended period. However, it is not the best blade for blocking and smashing due to its defensive limitations.

Blade for loppers!!! The blade is made of 5 layers of wood and 2 layers of carbon. The outer layers are made of limba, which is a hard wood that provides good control and feel. The core layer is made of ayous, which is a soft wood that provides good spin. The carbon layers are placed between the core layer and the outer layers. They provide extra stiffness and power.

The blade has a medium weight and a medium balance. It is suitable for players of all levels. However, it is especially well-suited for players who like to loop. The blade provides good control and feel, which makes it easy to execute loops. It also provides enough power to generate good spin.

Overall, the blade is a good choice for players who like to loop. It provides good control, feel, and power. It is also suitable for players of all levels.

I consider Intensity NCT the best blade out of everything I own. I have Stiga Infinity, Donic Ovtcharov True Carbon, Nittaku Violin Carbon, Stiga Carbonado 45, and Stiga Maple Wood V NCT, just to name a few.

The speed is Off-, but the control is definitely the best I’ve ever felt. Plus, it has a long trajectory with a medium throw angle. There is some flex, which makes looping very easy, but there aren’t any vibrations when you hit hard. The blade itself is also very light.

The only thing this blade isn’t good for is blocking. Blocks are okay, but they are not that threatening unless you have good ball placement. But with its good control, you can easily make up for this shortcoming.

All in all, if you want a lightweight looping blade with excellent control, this blade is for you.

You may say this is a replica of Yasaka Extra Offensive (YEO), at least initially, specifically designed for Xu Xin to win him back as he switched from Stiga Rosewood V to YEO. Anyway, Xu Xin has since played with this blade until now, but after WTTC 2017, he has said there is a need to change his blade for more speed as carbon blades are taking over.

Avoid playing with this blade if you are an amateur or a medium-level player still improving your game. I played with this blade for three years and only discovered my mistake when I switched to the Yasaka Sweden Extra all+ blade. Overall, it’s a powerful and spinny blade, but it lacks control, and I never liked the sound it made.

Hello guys!

Stiga does not advertise the size and weight of their products. This one has Head sizes: 155 x 150 mm. It is actually smaller and lighter than my Bttfy Liu Shiwen, which is 158 x 152 mm. A bit higher arc and nearly the same speed and control but feels more natural in my hands than my Liu Shiwen.

Good control, dwelling time, consistency, sound and feeling in one blade. Absolutely well balanced. After 6 months of using it, I realized that this blade has more control after drying out. It was a must to get all from this blade. Performs perfectly from mid-distance! I have a straight handle and no problem for serving any of mine. If you are a beginner, it is better to use soft sponge rubbers on it. If you are experienced, you can go for hard rubbers on it. Middle distance 10/10+ Long distance: 10/10 Blocks: 8/10 Loop 9/10+

Fantastic game sensation and enjoyment with my medium - hard sponge rubbers. Thank you, Stiga. Well done!.

Un lemn foarte bun folosit de Xu Xin, numărul 1 mondial, și de Zhu Yuling, numărul 6 mondial. Acest lemn nu este pentru începători.

I used this blade with Genesis S on FH and Calibra LT on BH during this month. After using the Hybrid NCT, I feel I don’t want to change my blade anymore. Now I understand why Xu Xin uses this blade.

It is very light. With both rubbers attached, it weighs only 79 grams, not more than 180 grams. It has good control, more dwell time, and is nice to be used for topspin and good for mid-distance play.

It is also nice to be used for soft play and control in close to the table. When I used it for smash, I felt a catapult power effect and an explosion, and the sound was very nice.

I can improve my table tennis play fast because I get more control and I could feel the sense of hitting the ball on. I suggest everybody try and use this blade, and you will get more control in your fast play.

Good blade for topspin close to the table, but not the best for blocks or smashes. Not very fast. The blocks are lacking power and are easy to be attacked by the opponent. I turned back to my Viscaria because it allows me to play a more varied game.

This blade offers ample power and spin capabilities. However, it possesses a stiff composition, making it unsuitable for novice players. Conversely, advanced players will appreciate its performance characteristics.
