80's/90's Stiga AR/OC Woods?

How about these. Is type carbon blade? 

What is the UTC means?

Is it same material as my Old stiga AR AN?

I can't help but admire the/my duo here as I see some members of the forum lately have been trying to sell not-quite-old "other" Stiga blades for ridiculously & outrageously high prices. Are they serious? Do these older Stigas deserve to be, in $$$$ term, in the same ballpark as our "beloved" Butterfly higher-ends?

I thought the Stiga AA was light coloured while the off wood was dark. Or are those blades varnished?

There is a guy at our club who has an Alser blade with a black bulbed handle, and it doesn't feel that slow at all; in fact, his feels like at least an Off- if not Off blade. I can't recall if it says "allround wood" on the wings.  His is so heavily used that maybe that would be worn off anyway.  Maybe they acquire speed as they age?

I think that it's Garth whose playing with the Stiga Allround and Daniel playing with the faster bat.

Originally posted by Tinykin Correct. The slow bat was not really a disadvantage. True he could not really hit through Dan except for a well placed ball, but the over the table soft play gained quite a few advantage situations.

What sort of rubbers does Garth Kinlock use on that AR?   Also, would that same set-up work about the same, were he using a, Appelgren Allplay, or Yasaka Sweden Classic?

Can anyone tell me how old this blade is?  It says Legend on the handle (instead of Hans Alser).  It is surprisingly fast (about like a Korbel and MUCH faster than an OSP Virtuoso+) and relatively thin.

Well, only those individuals know better or as I always like to say.. "Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder"

wow..well done Mr. Szyna over there in the FS section. His one almost sold for full asking price. I'm wondering how much would mine, as shown in all those previous pics., be appraised for?

Originally posted by frogger  I would be one happy camper if Stiga offered the original Alser FL grip again. Fatter than Legend and so comfortable.

+1. Very true. This is the ONE, right? I've had the Stiga Optimum Sync FL Master & Optimum Plus FL Legend before, both are ok kinda blades but I didn't find those handles as good as either my Anatomic or this....

I have one of those in excellent shape if you are interested
