    Posted: 10/26/2010 at 11:13pm
So, I work with a lot of folks from India and quite a few call their Stag blades their "top secret weapon". I was also in the market for a new Titanium blade and saw Stag has an OFF+ Ti offering. I can't find any reviews. Does anyone have some feedback they give on Stag Blades and Rubbers?

My first "real" blade was a Stag Allround blade. The blade looked Ok but build quality was poor. Handle started to come off, veneers started to open up. I had to Super glue the whole thing. Now a friend of mine use it.

P.S-Stag 3 Star balls are actually good.

Stag is not another secret weapon TT company ... its just a local low end market equipment supplier in india, where other brands couldn't penetrate so much historically due to trade restrictions (high import tarriffs). 

being an indian myself, I hope they come up as a good brand.. but given their current level of technology they are prolly 10 years behind tensor-tenergy generation. tables are okay... and cheap because you don't need high tech in making good tables.

 cant agree,i know many people that has built their own tables and they have good bounce along ALL THE TABLE much better  than the stag furniture they called table tennis tables..but the outer layer is difficult  to pàint because you need to make the white lines thinner enough so they cant disrupt the bounce,some expensive stiga tables has plywood veneers like a blade

bbkon ... thanks for correcting me... 

i agree i don't have much knowledge about blade construction. 

however all i am saying that stag can do well by putting more material and man-hours, being in a cheap economy. but they do not have any cutting edge or even break through technology and are little cut off with outside world of new types of rubbers and new materials in blades.

i thiink they have a pingy CARBON blade (wow!!) as their best high tech offering.

Funnily enough everyone who has given a review knew Stag a long time ago and are also not from India either, except from one person. It will be interesting for people to know Stag sponsors 23 states in India an 45 countries around the world (more than any other table tennis brand). This year they will sign the North American champion Paul Pradeeban. They also have a sponsored training center in San Fransisco (ICC). I would say they are the most threatening and growing brand as of date in the table tennis industry.

Since the discussion shifted towards discussing STAG as a company can you tell us why they try so hard to present themselves as Stiga?

its easy to sponsor  when most of the time  stag gives away the table  , then the situation is this: you are used to play in stiga,dhs..  tables and when you play in stag tables you cant get used to it
then the only way is playing more in stag tables since most of the junior tournaments  are played  in stag tables  then many clubs git to buy stag tables so their players can get used to them..but the tables are really bad  the outcoming loop bounces very low and dies quixkly

Actually they are not trying to be like Stiga. They existed much before Stiga (the company started in 1922 according to their profile, the Stag name came into being in 1960's). It is just a co incident that they are in the same business with a similar name. I spoke to the company and they have recently changed their logo as well. www.stag.in You can check the new logo here. This was done about 3 years ago. Interestingly the company aslo told me that they were distributors for Stiga and Butterfly in India alsmost 8 years ago for 3-4 years.

Yes you are correct in saying its easy to sponsor (besides the money part). If you read in my earlier post i spoke to the company and raised these points. They told me that they are OEMS for Butterfly, Cornilleau, Joola and many major brands. In fact because they had become too competitive in the International market they lost distribution of these brands in India. The reason why I am a strong supporter of this brand is because the way the topic started explains a lot about the brand. They are a developing brand but they are passionate about the sport. They are strong supporters of the game and have been doing more in countries where there is no hope of financial returns like many African countries. During my conversations they also accepted that they were a humble company and understood criticism but also advised to play on their latest tables.

I am staunch supporter and also am very happy with their products as well as their commitment to the game. They are after all a growing company. On another note they also said they will be announcing some major tournaments around the world in the next 6 months, as well as they are investing heavily on R&D on their tables for both their as well as the OEM business

 In my case the club has 14 Stag Tables and after a year they have gone quite dead and the bounce seems horrible.I think these boards are not made for heavy  usage and are more suitable to the basement player who plays about five or six times a year or when friends drop by.

This is a known factas the country I live in receives sponsorship from Stag as well with no financial benefits going Stag's way .
 I can tell you one great point about Stag ,their balls are some of the best out there.

I'm not sure how your boycott on buying table tennis products from particular company will help to reduce number of phone calls from conmen you receive. Do you by any chance think they are related to each other?

Haha nice frog unfortunately you are sadly mistaken and i would not steer this dicussion into personal or racial slurs but all I would say is that its unfortunate that you can't feel the balance tilting. Wake up and smell the coffee son.

Also what I could say about the company I did. I also know that they will play a big part going forward. Rest is of course personal choice /opinion.
