Stiga Maplewood NCT V table tennis blade

Blade description:

The Stiga Maplewood NCT V is a remarkable table tennis blade that strikes an exceptional balance between control and offensive capabilities. Constructed from five layers of high-quality maple wood, this blade is designed for players seeking precision in their gameplay. Its unique composition allows for a finer touch and an impressive trajectory, making it a popular choice among loopers and aggressive players alike.

Weighing in at 84 grams, the Maplewood NCT V falls into the medium weight category, providing a solid feel without compromising maneuverability. Its thickness and overall composition contribute to a stiffness rating of 4.6 and hardness of 5.1, which results in a blade that is slightly flexible. The flexibility enhances dwell time on the ball, facilitating better spin generation and control. Reviewers have praised its performance in counter-loops, acknowledging the high degree of predictability it offers thanks to its consistent nature.

For players considering alternatives, while the Stiga Infinity is a close contender, many agree that the Maplewood NCT V provides a softer, yet faster feel, particularly in offensive scenarios. Pairing this blade with hard rubbers like the Tenergy series enhances its performance, giving it a catapult effect that is especially beneficial for advanced players. Despite Stiga discontinuing this model, it remains a sought-after option for serious competitors who appreciate its balance of speed, spin, and control, solidifying its status as a top contender in the world of table tennis blades.
