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.

Its biggest characteristic is that it's just plain hard. The blade is so hard that even with soft rubber, the overall feel ends up hard! Drop any naive idea that a soft rubber will "balance out" a hard blade. It's hard, period. If you put on soft rubber, the blade won't flex, and you'll end up losing the exchange. So using rubber that's at least medium hardness is an absolute must! Drive speed is insane. It's hard to put spin on serves and loop drives, though. This is definitely a blade for advanced players. I'd only recommend it to people who are confident in their arm strength! lol

It bounces really well. The ball sinks in first and then bounces, giving it a one-beat-delayed feel that takes some getting used to. On receives and in the short game, it gets out of control. Drives and smashes have real power behind them. I think this is a racket for advanced players. The surface wood chips easily, so make sure to apply racket coat or some kind of protection.

This is a STIGA classic.
It bounces way more than you'd expect from a 5-ply ♪
Close to the table or on forehand hitting, it has that hard, quick-release feel typical of hardwood, but when you swing bigger from mid-distance or away from the table, you can feel it flex.
The first time you use it, the difference in feel between close-to-the-table and away-from-the-table play might throw you off, but once you get used to it, it becomes a powerful weapon.
Since it's on the lighter side, you can still swing all the way through even with heavier rubbers.
Pushes and stop shots feel a little uncontrolled. With tacky rubber, though, that weak point gets covered, so I really do feel STIGA blades pair best with tacky rubber.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

This is... in a word, excellent all around.
The top ply is rock hard.
Let me start with the caveats.
It bounces quite a lot, so there's a good chance the short game gets out of control.
As is usually the case with STIGA blades, it pairs best with tacky rubber.
Also, the flex is incredible.
On soft shots it stays calm, and on hard shots it drives into the opponent's court with tremendous power.
It's also easy to chop with. Oddly enough, it's really easy to keep under control.
If you're not used to it, it's a wild horse.
Keep that in mind when considering a purchase.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness hard

Being a STIGA hardwood blade, it's hard, as expected.
That said, in the short game it doesn't get out of control the way you'd expect from wood — it stays true. It's a strange sensation where you only really feel the bounce when you hit hard.
I use the ST grip, which is rounded and on the thicker side, so it might suit players who like to hold it firmly.
For an all-wood blade it has a lot of pop, so I think players with more power will be able to bring out its full potential.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

Mad Man (Experience: ２〜３ years) My ideal racket

What I felt using this racket is that speed and control are combined at a really high level. I was using an SK7A before, and the speed was almost the same (if anything, this might be faster), plus it had a stability that made everything feel like it would go in. That said, I got a heavy piece (90g), which brought the total racket weight up to 189g. But since it's a light blade to begin with, I don't think that's a problem as long as you pick carefully. It also paired really well with Hurricane 8, so if you're using Hurricane on a 7-ply or special material blade and thinking "I don't want to lose speed but I want more stability," I'd recommend this racket.

Amazing speed! When you smash it as hard as you can, it makes an incredible metallic sound. It also generates a fair amount of spin, and it's quite light, so I think you can swing all the way through with confidence. Hard rubbers suit this racket well, so if you're planning to buy one, I'd recommend something like Bryce on the forehand!
