Stiga V1 Carbon

I love this blade! When I tried my Globe 999 national version with it, it gave highly unexpected but good results. It suits my rubber well and I think it is suitable with hard sponge rubbers, especially Chinese rubbers.

So far, it has been consistent, so I recommend this blade because even though it is quite cheap, its quality is good.

The V-1 is only available to the Chinese market. This blade has a very low throw that some players might not like. It turns Tenergy 05/64 into a medium throw rubber. Hitting underspin can take a little practice, but otherwise, it feels like every shot will hit the table due to the low throw. Counter loops are a breeze; even short spiny loops can be re-looped with no problem.

Softer rubbers are a good balance for this beast. It’s fast but still has good touch and control. It’s like a carbon version of the Stiga OC CR. The wood looks the same as the OC CR.
