Hi , Last week i bought the Stiga Tube Carbo. It is a very nice blade. However it is not suiting my style of play , i.e. having more dwell time on the ball. Tube is very fast blade and the ball just catapults from the blade giving less time to loop. It is very good for smashing though. So I am looking for something which has more dwell time like the Peter Korbel which i think is good for looping and spinning the ball. I just wanted to confirm the same from the users of Peter Korbel. I wanted to know its speed and control also. Will i be able to lift a deep chop by topspinning it. Any other Off category blade? Thanks

Its an OFF blade tha I would say its Off-, but its very good. by far most popular blade at Brazil.
You can spin very well with it, but to put speed I would sugest speed glued rubbers or some tensor ones. |

i personally use korbel, its very good, but i agree that you will strugle with power if you don't speed glue or use a tensor in regards to "will i be able to lift a deep chop by topspinning it" , well you could with a premade, it doesn't depend on the equipment, but the player some equipment is easier for that, but with any equipment you should be able to, after you adjust to it but yeh, korbel is great, if you don't glue/use a tensor i'd go for a faster blade, like clipper, or perhaps a carbon one |

some says it's off- I would say it's a prefect off. and it's a little more stiff than normal. so it would be a little bit harder to spin the ball than e.g. stiga oc. |

The Petr Korbel is a good looping blade. I agree it lacks some speed, but with heavier rubbers the speed is fine. I saw more of a problem with it's speed when I was using light and soft sponged rubbers in the range of 35-36. Great control. THe weight is in the late 80s around 86-89 grams but that to me surprised me since it felt light in my hand and in play since the weight is spread out throughout the handle and blade. It also has some good amount of vibration. And the rounded handle is a decent size and not too small. The one weird thing aI saw with the blade, is that some of my friends Korbels actually turned different shades of brown to yellow. Some turned a darker yellow and some turned into a darker brown. |
