Stiga Dynasty Carbon - Chinese Penhold
Stiga Dynasty Carbon is the result of years of development in search of a carbon blade with the ultimate balance between classic wood feel, known as the “STIGA feeling”, and carbon fabric development. Stiga developed and designed Dynasty Carbon together with World and Olympic champion Xu Xin, to create a blade especially for the omniscient player who masters all elements of Table Tennis. The Dynasty Carbon uses a newly developed Swedish made and patented carbon technology which makes the carbon fabric as stable and strong near the edges as in the middle, without affecting the overall balance and weight of the blade. This new Carbon technology is called TeXtreme+. TeXtreme+ draws from the original TeXtreme Spread Tow Carbon Technology and consists of an advanced, super thin carbon fiber fabric that maximizes the strength-to-weight ratio. Dynasty Carbon is built with a thick middle veneer which enhances the core feeling and overall balance of the blade. The outer veneer is Koto, chosen for its quality and short in-game dwell time in comparison to more traditional outer veneers. This blade which combines superb touch with unbeatable power, gives you the possibility to be as creative, technical and powerful as Xu Xin. Class: OFF+

Reviews of Stiga Dynasty Carbon - Chinese Penhold (10)
Problem comes in with fitness and strength level since this blade requires you to do a lot of work yourself. If you are out of position you're able to spin the ball in well enough, but there are issues from always having to swing with a lot of power. For the average person this will get difficult with more match play in a day.
This blade is very heavy mine with rubbers weighing 202 grams. It is slightly top-heavy but more even throughout the blade so it's not that noticeable with the top heaviness. It's a medium stiff blade with a mostly wood feeling, so if you're wanting to try a carbon blade with a wood feel, despite this being an outer ply carbon blade it feels much like a wood blade.
Things I felt this blade does well: throw angle was perfect for me, not too open not to closed. I have never been very good at blocking and even after training blocking I still struggle with it, but this blade is great at blocking. It's not too fast on pushes but gets fast whenever you hit the ball with an offensive stroke. The handle was very comfortable to hold and never slipped in my hand.
Things I didn't like about this blade and the reason I've switched: very heavy, if I were in the shape I was in when I first started playing with this blade it wouldn't be a problem, but alas I am not hitting the gym enough anymore and the weight of this blade is slowing my game down. The only other thing I do not like about this blade is that it is a little too stiff for me; I like a lot of flexibility in my blades because I like the feeling of them, and this blade does not offer a lot of feedback.
Overall if you're interested in this blade I think you will like it as long as you like a heavy and semi-stiff blade.
Dynasty Carbon is amazing, give me a high number of control, consistency. The layer of carbon is tiny, and the mid layer of ayous is thick, i believe the number of control and larger sweet spot is come from this build.
My serve immediately become more spinny and FH is more consistency.
As compare to Ebenholz, DC give me more control yet a satisfactory speed, while Ebenholz is very pure on speed. I able to find a spec of 78 grams, plus my rubbers total less than 170 grams. after several hours of play it improve my RPB consistency. It is quite near to DHS 301 build actually, but the amount of control is higher and larger sweet spot.
Highly recommend to cpen players, but have to find a light piece.
