Stiga 2016 Blades (updated with review)

I think the st handles of stiga ate big enough.

notch slower?

is Carbonado 45 or 90 play similar to Innerforce ZLC or Mizutani?

can someone compare Eternity to Rutis please?

Eternity.

A friend got him and Eternity VPS today and of course, I used the opportunity to have a hit with it. He put two T05 on it.

My very first impression was that it is awesome. It has a special feel to it and it is very fast. The straight handle is awesome too. In terms of speed, it is way faster than Korbel Euro with an even better feel. Somebody wrote that its speed is almost Boll ALC and he was right it seems. The weight distribution is great too and it spins great.

A very pleasant surprise from Stiga. However, as he only bought it today, I do not have any insight on how it holds up when the rubbers are being removed.

One thing about its headsize: it is pretty much like a standard Butterfly blade, maybe there is a 1mm difference near the handle but for the most part it is 157x150.

Just got the Celero wood from TT11! Will try it soon with the new Spectol Red and VO>102. Let u guys know once I get a chance to put it together and try.

I would put the blade's speed almost like that of a regular clipper wood with no cr finish or cc finish. It is as fast as 7 ply blades and also feels like a 7 ply blade but with a softer feel. It feels a few notches harder than the Infinity VPS but significantly faster. The Eternity is like a Tibhar Stratus Powerwood but feels softer and is as fast. Compared to the Emerald, the Eternity feels softer but it can seem to rival the Emerald with its speed. I can clearly say that the Eternity is good enough to be used with the polyball even with just a slow rubber.

I am currently using either an Andro ligna or TSPW with 05fx fh and H3N bh.

really I only use the TSPW as ligna is too hard and bouncy for me.

I am really tempted to get an ETERNITY.

what benefits might this have over TSPW or would it be so similar it would be pointless.
Yogis review says it has a soft feel to it, I like the sound of that and think it might help in serve return on bh

any thoughts

@yogi

Stiga Eternity Vs Stiga OC Carbon ? (Speed, Spin, Control, Feel,  & Stiffness) paired with H3

Thanks..

I have a clipper that splinter even with varnish

I had a 2x7 mm on my intensity carbon my dealer told me that expensive blades never splinter

Changing rubbers on my Infinity and Emerald frequently and never had any issues. I don't laquer my blades and using Rev3 glue. 

I've never had problems about splintering with my Optimum Sync until like the 15th time of changing rubber.  Are these new blades build differently?

Anyone tried the new Celero Wood yet?
