Stiga Infinity VPS V

FZD uses infinityvps and the 2nd layer of spruce is evident on the pic, if it was a viscaria the 2nd layer would have been different. i have seen other better pics and it is infinity for sure that is aside from a stiga insider who is a reliable source than just people who speculates here and yes, that stiga insider also told me about non-stiga rubbers being used by their players so the notion that because stiga sponsors these players, the equipment they are using are not stiga and are just marketing hype

edit: disregard. who cares.

I really hope all this hype about the blade will be proved and fit my game, since I was lacking the awesome feeling of Violin since i upgraded to Acoustic.

I agree with Mickael. Very different blades. Violin has lot more vibration and feeling.

ive been using infinity vps for a month now. as far as i can tell this is the fastest all-wood blade ive used, as fast as my previous blade which was tibhar rapid carbon. its vibration, as you would get from most all wood blades, really gives you a good feel with the ball. i recommend people use this with the latest tensor rubbers, and maybe the tenergys too. the rubbers that i have used with the vps were bryce, bluefire m2, desto f2, h3 national blue sponge, and acuda s1. vps really sucked with bryce, it was really....dead. desto f2 was ok, i just felt the rubber was too slow on vps. same with h3 national blue sponge, although it did bite the ball better, being tacky and having more dwell time because of vps's allwood characteristic. acuda s1 is good on vps, but im not liking the "cracking" sounds acuda s1 makes because it then bottoms out. now comes bluefire m2, this is were i felt vps really shined. the ball had a really good arch with bfm2 + vps and it rarely bottoms out...

ive used neither of them. sorry. ive done a couple of hits with other all wood blades. i dont remember most of them. what i do remember is with the stiga master classic and stiga cr classic, and also yasaka extra carbon and also a few other carbon and allwood blades that vibrate a lot. i can tell you vps is faster than any of the ones i've used or atleast have hit a couple of balls with. the only blades faster than vps are sardius and the t-11

I owned VPS for a while. It is OFF- or OFF at most. Nowhere close to being a fast blade.

then i guess ive been using slower blades since i really feel that vps is fast. [EMAIL= ][/EMAIL]
in any case, i'm really liking the quality of my shots with vps as compared to my previous blades

I only have one Acoustic, but that's 5.85mm - all my Infinity are 6.15-6.20mm

The Infinity "official" spec of  "5.9mm" is wrong - at least to my experience of 5 different Infinity.

Do not know what blade is mrdoodzki talking about. A MM or a Viscaria are quite more powerful and faster blades than the vps. Also a clipper cr. Fast close to a korbel. Imo the vps is all+-off-. It needs arm power.

no...VPS is slow in mid power but very fast in max power. Look at those powerful shot from FZD..

Well, at last  i could try Infinity V this morning and now i´ve got a closer idea about how it performs.
