External Review for Stiga Carbonado 45 on December 6, 2024

I've been using this blade for a season. When I first played with it, it felt like nothing special and maybe even a bit slow. After some months it grew into being my favorite blade after 20+ blades testing.
My level went high amateur to League player (3rd highest league of country) because of hard training. With this blade I never felt I needed more speed or crisp feeling. It isn't a ALC or even carbonado 145 but with Dignics 09c FH and DNA plat M backhand I never felt more comfortable during stressful moments.
Especially K3 and Dignics 09c on forehand feel amazing, the blade already has a high arc making my shots deadly in spin and depth on table. This blade cured my EJ after buying 2 more Carbonadon 45 and 145's. I doubt I'll get into the top 10, but top 100 of country might be happening :)

My first Stiga blade was Stiga Offensive Classic WRB (oc) . The best feeling blade ever that I have , even better than Yasaka Extra and Yasaka Sweden Extra. I'm just talking about feeling only, OK? Even I have some modern blade , but I miss the feeling of oc , so i pick it up sometimes When I face to some high level player .The attack of mine is so gentle to them . So I've think about to find another blade has the feel like oc and more powerful. First I've try Offensive Classic Carbon. Speed is very good. It is really more powerful than oc , but it is too stiff and the feeling is not that good,and the most important thing is it less spin than oc when using same rubber, it is a very good blade maybe just not fit my style. When i was keep looking for other blade for replace my oc , some say Stiga Carbonado 45 feel like all wood blade. So when I first use 45 , Yes!! The feeling is very good , its very close to oc , but still less spin than oc little bit. The blade is quite flexible and soft so it hold the ball to well when blocking or start looping. Well , i have try so many blade in my left , more than 30 maybe . I can't say Stiga Carbonado 45 as fast as peoples rating like 8.7/10 , maybe 8.2 for me. I can still feel the carbon layer clearly but the control is good. As a penhold player , I would say this is a off- blade , good for control and looping but not good for smashing.

Excellent blade. Popular w/some top Chinese players, and a favorite of Coach Lin. Good choice for those transitioning from wood blades, wanting a larger sweet spot & a little more speed (Off- speed w/great control). Slower than my Butterfly IF Layer ALC, LSW, or Nittaku Acoustic Carbon, but faster than Acoustic.

The speed is just like viscaria. But it has better feeling, those who don't like arylate carbon, but love to spin. Try this and you will know the perfect feeling.

I decided to try this blade 2 weeks before pandemi COVID-19. So, i haven't used it too long, only twice honestly. But, overall this is a good blade for control player with intermediate spinning skill.

Amazing blade! Woody feel, the control is great not too fast. Need to sandpaper the edges, the top ply splinters easily that's why seal it first before you glue a rubber on it. Over all, must try blade!

This is definitely one of the better carbon blades I've used. It's everything you would expect from a top-tier carbon blade: large sweet spot, stable in blocking, enough dwell time for looping, good enough feeling for short shots, and enough power for shots far from the table. Overall, it's on par with viscaria, ovtcharov true carbon, acoustic carbon, and ma long 5. Whether it's the best blade for you depends on minor characteristics and personal preference. These are some minor characteristics that might affect your preference for the blade. It's medium-light weight (mine is 89g), has medium throw angle, and is evenly balanced (not head-heavy). Hope this will help you decide which blade to get.

Very nice feeling, high throw, consistent far away from table, good in almost every shot...despite the high price, the outer ply ( limba ) is easy to rip off so be carefully what glue you used...maybe a thin laque solve the problem !
