Customer review for Stiga Rosewood NCT VII

External Review for Stiga Rosewood NCT VII on April 28, 2020

I have been using this blade for three years. It is not an off+ blade but in the middle of off range at most. Slower than kenta alc (86gr) e.g.. I have two samples at 87 and 88 grams and they play the same. Good match with medium hard high tension rubbers. But does not play well with rubbers softer than 45. This is of course a personal preference. It has a long trajectory and medium throw angle. Depending on the rubber It can work well from all distances. But for me it operates best one step behind the table. It has a distinct hollow feeling which is fantastic and inspires confidence for all types of shots. It is stiff and hardly flexes at high power shots. Surface veneer is medium hard.
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.
