Customer review for Stiga Infinity VPS V

External Review for Stiga Infinity VPS V on June 2, 2020

Just gotten a nice used Stiga Infinity VPS recently and paired it with 1) Gewo Mega Flex Control & 2) Loki Rxtn 1 Rubber. First impression, this is a nice 5 ply blade good for blocking and driving. It has a light feel and controllable too. Imho, it can be used by beginners to intermediate level player.
When playing with the Gewo rubber, if the timing is used at the right time during top spin and drives, this blade is fast but controllable and it depends how much energy one gives out during hitting the ball, close play and mid to far table. But if timing is not used at the right time the ball may goes straight to the net, but sometimes will hit the net but "climbed" over the net (if one is lucky). This showed how big the sweet spot is.
You need to sealed the blade first as it comes unseal.

If compared with a Butterfly Viscaria, the Infinity feels soft compared to Viscaria but more control due to its allround all wood capabilities. But Viscaria is much crisper than infinity.
Blocking is very good in both blades. More control with infinity but more speed to counter block with Viscaria maybe because one is all wood blade, the other is a hybrid (carbon, therefore stiffer) blade.

As a summary, the Infinity has a very good feel and vibration, due to its allwood composition and vps.
A very good blade for aggressive looping or driving with a very good amount of control. Indeed its control due to its speed is unbelievable. It is a killer spin-machine with medium to hard rubbers.
Thanks to Stiga for wonderful blade. Best 5-ply blade I had ever tried todate.
