New product reached the market since 05. 2013. A new technology, and very likely a new high in price.
The Infinity VPS V - with Diamond Touch (OFF) with the brand new VPS technology (Veneer Precision System) is built with two hand-selected middle veneers that are treated with a unique and exact heating and cooling process with precisely measured time and temperature. The Diamond Touch technology gives the outer veneers extra hardness and the surface an incredibly smooth finish and combined with the VPS technology the result is an offensive lightweight blade with outstanding solid touch and feeling. Infinity VPS V gives you the possibility to master the key elements in today's modern game: aggressive receives which help you gain the upper hand at an early stage, and the possibility to follow up with powerful and aggressive topspin shots. Developed together with top players from the Chinese National Team, the Infinity VPS V suits the more offensive minded player with powerful topspin strokes! Speed: 100 Control: 70 Veneers: 5 Type: Off Approx weight: 85 g Available in all STIGA grips: Classic (Straight), Legend (Concave), Master (Concave narrow), Winner (Anatomic), Champ (Conic) and Pen. |

I am wondering why Stiga is so in love with very hard blades.

i hope it is a looping blade that is closer to clipper than the hardwood series.

I spend with this blade 3 session -2 hours each.
I will use clipper & Oc for comparrison,rubbers i used for the test was Aurus Sound FH & BH Infinity blade is Stiff,quite stiff, whatever the top ply to me look like the NCT to glue rubbers no problem at all Speed a notch slower than original clipper,good close to the table and mid distance more than 2.5 metres i start feel lack of speed good feel for the ball,aurus sound really "hug" the ball and catapult it with tons of spin The blade is good for loopers ,blockers and choppers i didnt found it good enought for flats (where clipper shines). My personal view is that stiga perform this blade to feel the gap between OC and rw v (and the price gap also ) :) Overall the control is good i will rate it 8.5 (but this is probably because of the rubbers) Speed is something very personal but to me it it seems like 8 to 8.2 and lets say clipper is 8.4-5 A person who want a upgrade from OC probably should give a try but its far more away from rw and eb finish is tupical for stiga-Bad and rough my blade weight 84.6 grs,which is not bad for legend handle Edited by TopSpinNinja - 05/08/2013 at 4:04am |

I can block with anything ,but in general stiffer blades block better
which lead to an answer NO :) |

I hate hardwood series that have hard and dead feel. |

did you read the whole thread? and specifically, did you open the picture of FZD with his blade? (vs the controversial pics which don't even show an infinity handle) |

IMHO, the blade in this picture is not a Viscaria. It does not look like the Viscaria that I have in my hand right now. |

Yes, of course I read the whole thread. In my view, FZD is very unlikely to have switched to an Infinity - it bears no similarity to a Viscaria. The thread linked to is inconclusive, with views both ways. You will note, I'm sure, the civility and courtesy demonstrated there. Perhaps it's something some members here can learn from.

The thread is inconclusive? There is not even the slightest shred of evidence that FZD uses a Viscaria with Infinity VPS handle in that thread. First of all, the ambiguous photo which opens the thread is not an Infinity handle. Second, there's no evidence that the paddle belongs to FZD. Third, the photo I zoomed in on, where we actually see FZD, is most obviously not a Viscaria. tabten5, you're right, I lacked civility in my response. I tend to get irritated by the propagation of internet hoaxes. And I'm really surprised that you, a member I've always found to be sensible and helpful, would quote something as if it's fact, with a link to a totally ridiculous thread.

Doing a google search of the images, I see that a similar thread can be found on a Vietnamese, Japanase, and Chinese forum. Each time, the isolated photos are shown without ever having such a paddle in FZD's hands.
edited to add: I'm more than willing to believe in a handle-swap conspiracy... but only when it's presented with credibility Edited by the_theologian - 01/28/2014 at 4:20pm |

I get where Theologian is coming from completely, and I suppose we are all a bit uncivil sometimes (I know I am guilty on occasion).
Let me give one example of how stuff like this sometimes gets started. Recently, in a thread about the new ZJK blades, a frequent poster here (who is not a moderator) and who likes to review blades that he is selling wrote this: "The different with Viscaria, both 93 gr, it has more feel, more whipping effect, more solid feel. I just wonder if Zhang Jike is using ZJK ALC with Viscaria Handle at the past. Now Butterfly really make ZJK ALC for public." Next thing you know, his "just wonder" will somehow become an accepted fact, at least in some places, no matter how irrational it is. Why would Btfly have ZJK put Viscaria handles on a blade they are selling for more money? Wouldn't they rather sell $150-350 fancy new ZJK blades as opposed to $105 Viscarias? Does it strike anyone that they are that bad at marketing their stuff? In fact, are they not actually quite good at marketing? (By the way, the fancy new ZJK blades are not bad, this same poster did outline some of the ways they are actually different from Viscaria, so the thread had value. However, it is quite obvious that ZJK himself is not using any of them, as recently as earlier this week. So why even hint otherwise?). I've never seen an Infinity blade, so can't say what FZD's current blade is, but I am pretty sure what it isn't. |

Fzd blade is infinity. That layering from the picture is infinity. Not Viscaria.
I got several hd blade pictures from latest tournaments and they all seem infinity. Besides i do not think Fzd is going to lie in his interviews about using an Infinity. |

The suspicion has existed before that thread, especially given the frequency of new sponsor handles (Liqin, Ovtcharov, etc, etc.) Logically, it's unlikely that FZD changed the blade he grew up with to one that is so different in most aspects (head size, handle, thickness, plies, feel, weight, speed, and so on.) Without any pictures, I would remain suspicious (as many others do). I'm not suggesting that thread provides evidence which would apply in a courtroom, and rest assured my original reply was meant tongue-in-cheek. The short answer is that nobody here knows what he is using; it could be anything (including the Infinity.) |
