The Infinity VPS V - with Diamond Touch is a lightweight 5-ply offensive blade built around two hand-selected middle veneers that are special temperature treated (VPS-technology). This gives the blade a unique stability and the Infinity VPS V is ideal for offensive players who demands good speed combined with control. The final finish by the Diamond Touch technology gives the outer surface extra hardness and an incredibly smooth finish.

The surface ply is really hard.
When you smash, you tend to get the illusion of "huh, didn't that not go as far as I expected?" lol (it's actually fast though)
The Intensity NCT is the same way.Anyway, it bounces way more than you'd expect from a 5-ply.
I found it easier to handle than the Intensity NCT.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness hard

You often see people say it gets out of control in the short game, but I think if it's getting out of control there, you're probably putting way too much force into your short game shots. Compared to your average super-bouncy special-material blade, I think this is way easier to handle.

It's really fast, and I liked it — though with tacky rubber each shot takes quite a bit of strength,
so it's not really for women. It paired really well with tacky rubber.

First off, it really flies. The flight path is straight, closer to what you'd get from a blade with special materials in it. Because of that, hard shots have real destructive power, while soft shots give you that pokopoko (hollow) feel typical of 5-ply blades. It's an interesting racket in a good way. The grip is on the thin side and easy to hold, and since it's a bit thick, the backhand feels great. That lets you swing away freely. It's fantastic. Thanks to the VPS, it pairs excellently with hard rubbers, and it also handles hard tension rubber really well. As for the design, it's a darker brown than the Cörbel, which gives it a calmer, cooler look. The price is reasonable for this level of performance too, so it's easy to pick up. If you want a special-material blade but think they're too expensive, this is perfect for you. Overall I think it's a really polished blade. A STIGA classic.
Note
Fan Zhendong actually used an Infinity grip with a Viscaria blade. That's why the grip only says "STIGA" on it. These days, though, he uses a Hurricane Haku grip with a Viscaria blade.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

Every one (Experience: ２〜３ years) 5-ply? Amazed by the surprising bounce.

It bounces way more than you'd expect from a 5-ply.
It's hard and bouncy, but it also has flex, which makes it easy to put spin on and easy to control.
The short game requires a bit of skill, but once you get used to it, you'll be impressed at just how versatile this blade is.
Of course, I can't reproduce Fan Zhendong's play (lol), but I don't lose out even when I'm pushed back, and somehow the sense of security that comes with the brand name might make you feel like your skills have leveled up...
I'm currently obsessed with carbon blades so I let this one go, but it was a genuinely impressive racket.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

The Infinity VPS V bounces so much that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it the bounciest 5-ply blade out there. The feel is hard and the ball comes off quickly. But surprisingly, it's also easy to put spin on! (The short game gets a little out of control, but that's something tacky rubber can make up for.) Also, the sweet spot is narrow, so you need to hit the center of the blade. It also takes time to get used to, but if you stick with it patiently, you'll be able to make full use of it! Personally, I'd really like players with strong arms, power hitters, and tacky rubber users to try this at least once.
P.S.
It's said that Fan Zhendong uses this, but that's probably not true.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness hard

This is the best racket out of all the ones I've tried. It bounces really well, and it's great for hitting a powerful third-ball attack like Fan Zhendong does. On the flip side, though, if you keep the same swing you've always used, the blade is so hard that it tends to just fling the ball, and you'll probably get more balls going long. Also, rallies from mid-distance really carry through and drive into the opponent's court. In the short game, since Fan Zhendong himself uses this, chiquita and aggressive receives were easy to pull off. Pushes and blocks also had a feel I liked and were easy to do. Overall it's really well suited to hitting powerful shots. The price is also fairly reasonable, so definitely give it a try ♪
