Very good blade, great control with good speed. Fair price for incredible quality, if you want to have fun with friends it is ideal, for competing, I recommend somewhat faster blades.

I found the FL handle uncomfortable and had to modify it. On my next Stiga blade, I opted for the Legend handle and loved it. The blade is solid, and the finishing quality is very good.

It responded extremely well to Acuda S2 (FH and BH), but I found Acuda S1 Turbo on FH to be out of control (at least for me). I had a lot of difficulty with this blade landing the push and “softer” shots (I would go far and miss the table).

Blocking felt solid. Full-force committed loops and drives flew and moved fast three feet from the table.

It’s too hard for my taste. It will play well with tacky rubbers, but I wouldn’t advise playing it with regular Euro-Japanese rubbers unless you are an all-out attacker. Even then, you’d be better off using another blade anyway.

The short game is an issue here, but flat game and looping with tacky rubbers are pretty good.
