Customer review for Stiga Dynasty Carbon

External Review for Stiga Dynasty Carbon on September 14, 2023

I recently stopped using this blade, but used it for over 2 years, I play for my university and while using this blade was playing in the 1700s USATT rating range.

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.
