For the new Carbonado blades we have taken carbon blade manufacturing to a new level by using a made in Sweden carbon technology known as TeXtreme®. The blades are built with five layers of wood and two layers of lightweight TeXtreme® Spread Tow Carbon fibers. This unique and patented carbon is the first of its kind and has never before been experienced in Table Tennis.
The special TeXtreme® Spread Tow Carbon is flexible in only one direction, either flexural or torsional, making it possible in the manufacturing process to adjust and improve the ball trajectory and speed to accommodate playing style. The two layers of carbon are applied in a 45 degree angle or a 90 degree angle.
Carbonado 145 is constructed with Carbon layers in a 45 degree angle with torsional bendability which gives the blade more flexibility and increased stiffness. The high trajectory makes it a perfect choice for the offensive player who looks for good speed and stability combined with excellent control.
The Carbonado blades offer the player a personalized Sweet Spot. The Carbonado 145 with torsional bendability gives a wider Sweet Spot.

Every one (Experience: ４〜５ years) Torn between this and the 45...

I was happy using the 45 in ST, but I got a little greedy and wanted something with more bounce, so I bought this...
The FL grip has its weight balanced more toward the handle than the ST, so it never felt heavier than the total weight suggests, but honestly, it does end up heavier than the 45.
I had assumed the feel would be a lot bouncier, but honestly my impression was that it's only slightly bouncier than the 45.
Personally, the bounce and feel of the 45 was just right for me, so after trying this one for about two months, I ended up going back to the 45.
I haven't tried the 245, of course, but the 90 is something that catches my interest.
The grip design (color) looks cooler than the 45, so for someone whose feel matches this one, it could end up being the best blade for them...
I'd say this ranks among STIGA's top-tier blades.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

I used to run Tenergy 05 on both sides.
Since it's expensive, I've been looking for cheaper rubbers with good bounce, and this review is really about how different rubbers pair with this blade.
Because it's outer carbon, the ball comes off very quickly.
With the V15, since the rubber itself is hard, the ball comes off even faster, and there was no sense at all of the ball being held on the racket.
Pairing it with Xiang Long felt pretty good. For players who block or hit hard flat shots close to the table, the good bounce makes it a solid option.
Personally, I found it paired very well with tacky and Chinese rubbers.
When I put Hurricane's Orange Turbo on the forehand, it made up for the lack of bounce, and the flat, straight trajectory when hitting a strong flat drive is nice.
I think this blade works well for players who can commit to a swing with solid impact themselves.
Personally, I feel the sweet spot on the blade itself is narrow, and stability drops off when you miss the center, so I'm rating control at a 6 as well.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness hard

I got interested and bought this because I heard Chinese women's players were starting to use it. When I hit with it, the sound was high-pitched and it felt really satisfying to play with. Topspin drives were easy to hit, and I thought it seemed suited to tacky rubber, but even hitting forehand drives with Rozena, the ball went in sharply. The short game was also good since it doesn't bounce too much. I thought, as expected of a blade used by top Chinese players.

It's hard to get spin on the ball with this one. Even for intermediate-and-up players, it's tough unless you really use your footwork properly. It might be limited to advanced players rather than just intermediate-and-up.
