This is one of the fastest blades from Stiga. Its speed is so fast that it might even surpass the speed of a blade equipped with Bryce Speed rubbers. However, if you purchase this racket, I recommend using soft rubbers such as Acuda S3.

This blade is very fast and has good control, making it suitable for aggressive players who love to generate speed and spin.

I am using it with Xiom Vega on forehand and Donic Coppa Platin on backhand. I can generate very good speed and spin. It is very good in counter-attacking, especially with flicking.

Control-wise, you need to master the feel of it, but it helps by its vibration. Overall, it’s great. I don’t have a hard time adjusting with it. It helps me improve my skills and control.
