Sounds like just another really stiff Off+ class blade. Less dwell usually equals less spin unless it's a brush stroke. Loving my Stiga OFF CR with 4 layer glue Max Mark V. Max happiness. :) |

I don't know what else to say. It's a 5-ply Stiga blade that's gonna be a tad faster than Stiga's 50 other 5 ply blades: +/- Speed (Depending who you are, which blade you're comparing it to and what rubbers you're using.) +/- Control (Depending who you are, which blade you're comparing it to and what rubbers you're using.) +/- Throw Angle (Depending who you are, which blade you're comparing it to and what rubbers you're using.) +/- "Gears" (Depending who you are, which blade you're comparing it to and what rubbers you're using.) |

There are a couple of reviews in chinese. It is faster than VPS infinity with precise placement. But people are afraid that the handle might get dirty pretty easy.

The "Arctic has no woods" post points us in the direction of the truth: Stiga Arctic Wood is an anagram for Cactus Twig Roots. Everyone knows that cactus is not wood at all, and blades made from it are not legal. |

@yogi_bear, looking forward to your review :)
Especially a comparison with Infinity would be great.

It's not an option for me as well (too fast), but I'm still interested to know whether this new hard arctic wood outer layer lives up to the manufacturer's hype. They certainly went great lengths (pun intended) to advertise it with their video.

This Arctic Wood was an option for me until I saw the price. $120 is too much, no matter how good it is.

EDIT July 2017: adding some info to my earliest post, since STIGA rectified the data about Arctic Wood since the OP.
Arctic Wood is what you get when you combine nature and science. A blade born in nature and crafted by our knowledge and experience. For this blade we have found a rare pale outer veneer which only grows in the cold and deep forests above the arctic circle. This together with our well-renowned VPS (Veneer Precision System) in the second layer results in a unique blade with characteristics like non-other. CONTROL: 65 SPEED: 110 VENEER: 5 ELASTICITY: STIFF TYPE: OFF === Seriously? Anyone dared to wield it, yet? Edited by arg0 - 07/21/2017 at 3:10pm |

Using the "Stiga Arctic Wood" the ball will freeze and stop spinning when you hit it.
When the ball hits the opponent's bat, it will get suspended in Mid-Air. You'd be like Sub-Zero from Mortal Kombat... |

Has anyone tried the Stiga Arctic Wood.
Here is the Blade description form TT11. < ="http://www.tabletennis11.com/other_eng/checkout/cart/add/uenc/aHR0cDovL3d3dy50YWJsZXRlbm5pczExLmNvbS9vdGhlcl9lbmcvc3RpZ2EtYXJjdGljLXdvb2Q,/product/21964/" method="post" id="product_addtocart_" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; color: rgb51, 51, 51; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
Built as a offensive 5-ply with special temperature treated middle veneers (VPS) which reduces vibrations and gives great stability. And a new, slow growing hard outer veneer never before used in table tennis. Made in Sweden. |
