Customer review for Stiga Offensive Classic - Chinese Penhold

External Review for Stiga Offensive Classic on May 12, 2017

This blade is a link between All+ -blades and Off- -blades. Its speed is surely Off-, while the feeling and the flexibility is like with All+ -blades. So I agree with the point that it is a good choice when coming from All and want to speed up. I played it a while and it's one of the spinniest blades I ever played with. I think it's a blade to play from the distance because it lacks in blocking. Because of the flexibility it is very hard to give a good placement when someone is firing hard driving topspins at you and it is quite sensible to upcoming spin, so this is the weakest point. Very good chopping on service, very good shortplay, very good flicking, very good at topspins in any variation, maybe except hard speedy tops, it just has not the speed and the stability. Even that is the reason that it's hard to fire a finishing shot by power. It is pretty good from the distance, the lack of speed is balanced by the throw and back then I learned to counter topspin with fh and bh. No wonder it's a classic.
