Reviews Summary
✨ AI-generated summary of customer reviews.
Pros
- The Rosewood NCT VII table tennis blade offers excellent control and feel, especially for top spins, loops, and counter looping. It has a high control rating and a medium to high throw, making it an above-average choice for all types of play. The ball trajectory is perfect, landing on the last 20% of the table consistently.
- The blade is slightly head heavy with max rubber on, similar to the Timo Boll Spirit, but this actually adds power to your shots, especially topspins. It becomes more aggressive due to the weight, making it one of the best 7 ply all-wood blades for players who prefer a more forceful style of play.
- The blade is well balanced and offers great speed, control, and a nice feeling. It is suitable for both close and mid-close to table play. It is also forgiving in terms of speed, and has a decent sweet spot, making it a great all-wood blade for an offensive player who usually is on the attack, but can also score some points with smart placement during the game.
Cons
- Despite its many advantages, the Rosewood NCT VII table tennis blade can be too heavy for some players, especially those versions over 95g. This extra weight can make the blade feel too stiff and powerful, and can negatively impact control. Additionally, the blade might not play well with rubbers softer than 45, and some players have found blocking to be difficult due to the type of rubber used.
Reviews of Stiga Rosewood NCT VII (16)
I am an amateur veteran who has been playing table tennis for 30 years. I am an (old school) forehand dominant offensive player. I play all out attack when not tired :) and more allround nowadays and this blade supports both these strategies.
However never liked the heavy ones over 95g too stiff and too much power and the control not too good.
