Stratus is softer but stiffer probably a bit faster. Overall head surface is even a bit bigger than Korbel. Stratus matches medium to hard rubbers so T05 is a good match.

I like Stratus better. But note that I sanded my stratus to Korbel headsize. Peope say these blades are similiar but I don't agree.

I feel like Stratus has much more comfortable handle than a Korbel if your hands are not tiny.  Yogi all the Mazunovs I played with were really heavy and very fast, but maybe I had an unusual sample.  Some of those were great blades.  I only ever played with one Stratus.  It was an excellent blade, but not faster than the Mazunovs.  I think I would prefer Stratus to a Korbel though.  I agree with what Speaquinox said.

For handle, SPW has bigger handle, so it is more comfortable for me.

However, SPW is faster than Korbel.  It is stiffer as well.  Both are good blades.  You can;'t go wrong with either one.

baal, that was what i found strange because i owned a mazunov before and the there is really a difference in their speed with the spw being faster. i gave the SPW to a player who used a mazunov but he went back to the mazunov after a few days saying he can't control it

Wow.  The SPW I had was not that fast.  But not slow, for sure, not slow.

Which goes to show that no two things made of wood can be identical!

I am actually surprised more people don't use Mazunov blades.  I guess weight.

My TSPW was softer than pg7, and was even faster.
TSPW is too stiff to be looping blade, in my opinion. Korbel is flexy.

Yes it is on the stiff side but the softness helps a lot. Imho it is a great blade with good power for topspin and even flat hits. Anyway i don't think the differnce between these blades make much difference in your play. Today i played with a guy that played with Korbel + vega asia both sides (not boosted). He has very good technique and hits amazing loops from allaround the court.

The Stratus definitely allows you to play with a bit more speed and power than the Korbel but still commands a high level of control and consistency as a large number of 5 ply wood blades do. The Korbel blade is actually 4g heavier than the Stratus anyway, so if you are choosing between them then the Stratus is probably your best bet :)

My korbel was 76 gr (new korbels are light), and stratus more than 90 gr.

Yes non-Japan Korbels are light and less solid, Stratus PWs are mostly around/above 90 gr and consistently solid. Mine is 91 gr. My Japanese Korbel is 87 gr.
