Stiga Intensity NCT & Intensity Carbon Review

or maybe can u suggest me for other blade too

so thank yoki

rosewood 7 is harder than yeo. its because of the wood and also the thick nct/laquer coating on the blade surface

actually even if there was a blade with the same construction as the intensity carbon they would have a different feel because the intensity carbon is kinda thin.

Does it vibrate because of it's so thin ? How is the power of the carbon intensity blade, comparing with another carbon blade ? Is it easy to play close the table or better far from the table ? There are not many returns about this blade... is it bad or does it suffer from lack of publicity ?

Sorry, I don't speak Goethe's language... Isn't that strange you feel it's slower than Clipper whereas Stiga grade it to 124 for speed and only 102 for Clipper ?

Ok, I understand better now. It makes me feel about the Nittaku Barwell Fleet which also have an external walnut ply. It was really slow on little shots, really good for short game, receiving, and absorbing in passive blocks. But when you swing, the ball goes very fast. Unfortunately the Barwell fleet was not really fitting my backhand, I don't really know why. For the forehand it was tremendous. Perhaps my backhand topspin is too "short and quick" for that blade and my contact of the ball not hard enough.

I have 3 Intensity. One NCT Cpen, one Carbon Cpen and one Carbon Conic and they all measured around 5.94mm.

I played with Intensity NCT a couple of years ago. A great light blade! Maybe I should give it a second try with the Airoc M. 

I played with the Blade for one hour

too fast for me, but the quality of the blade is much better than in the past

I just receive a new custom intensity carbon blade (national team series) and it's 5.8~5.9 thickness...

after playing with Intensity Carbon i can say a few things(i was ranked as 500 in the mens world ranking few years ago)

malin87, I have played with the Intensity Carbon for quite some time and I do not agree that it has a soft feel due to its hard walnut outer plies. It may not be as hard and stiff as some other blades but it's certainly not soft. Do you mean "stiff" when you say "soft"? I do agree that it is not as stiff as some other carbon blades like Schlager or Primorac and it has some flex when you put power into the shot which is why it works great for looping. Maybe you should give it some more practice with your pips as it might just be a matter of adjusting the blade angle a little. It worked great for me with medium pips and also with anti. At the end I switched because it was too fast for me.
