Dynasty Carbon is the result of years of development in search of a carbon blade with the ultimate balance between classic wood feel, known as the “STIGA feeling”, and carbon fabric development. We have developed and designed Dynasty Carbon together with World- and Olympic champion Xu Xin, to create a blade especially for the omniscient player who masters all elements of Table Tennis. The Dynasty Carbon uses a newly developed Swedish made and patented carbon technology which makes the carbon fabric as stable and strong near the edges as in the middle, without affecting the overall balance and weight of the blade. This new Carbon technology is called TeXtreme+. TeXtreme+ draws from the original TeXtreme Spread Tow Carbon Technology and consists of an advanced, super thin carbon fiber fabric that maximizes the strength-to-weight ratio. Dynasty Carbon is built with a thick middle veneer which enhances the core feeling and overall balance of the blade. The outer veneer is Koto, chosen for its quality and short in-game dwell time in comparison to more traditional outer veneers. This blade which combines superb touch with unbeatable power, gives you the possibility to be as creative, technical and powerful as Xu Xin.

I had no complaints using the Innerforce ZLC, but bought this one just to try it out.
It's a super aggressive blade. Hit it and it flies, and blocks and stops still hold the ball down properly.
The problem, though, is the weight. With rubber on, it comes to 186g.
You need a fair amount of strength to really make use of it.
Especially since a lot of players using it probably use tacky rubber.It's definitely a good blade, without question.

It has a wood-like feel. Since it bounces, the short game needs a bit of control technique, but it's not especially hard to handle. Being an outer-carbon blade, the distance and power are, of course, beyond complaint. Good feel, good short game, good when you step back — I think this is the best STIGA blade as of 2019. It's finished so well that I feel like they might build future blades based on this one.
What surprised me was how wide the sweet spot is. On top of the outer carbon, it uses a new bonding technology, so the sweet spot is wider than the Carbonado, and even when your form breaks down and you mishit, the ball still goes where you intended. It's a nice side effect that control actually improves despite the blade being hard.
As for rubber, I think pretty much anything works, but since this blade is optimized for Xu Xin, tacky rubber is probably the best match for the forehand.
The only downside is the weight, but strangely enough, even with Tenergy 05 (max thickness) on a 95g blade, you don't really feel the weight. I'd guess the balance point is set closer to the handle. I also own an 89g Evanholz, but because its balance point is toward the tip, it feels heavier than the Dynasty Carbon.

I'm a Chinese penhold user, switching over from the Carbonado 45. Partly because of the rubber I use, the Carbonado felt a little too light, so I wanted a bit more weight and a higher trajectory, which is why I switched.
As intended, the arc got higher, and the forehand topspin drive, plus blocking and driving on the backhand, all became more stable. If you hit it cleanly, you get quite a bit of speed and power too.
With the Carbonado, the sweet spot felt slightly centered, but the Dynasty has a wider sweet spot, and another appealing point is that the quality of the ball doesn't drop off much even if your contact point is a little off.
Right now the total weight is around 193g, which is just right, and I'm thinking of trying whether it still works if I switch the backhand from FX to the normal version.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

I switched over from the Carbonado 45. Compared to the Carbonado, the feel doesn't jar your hand as much. Still, it's a pleasant feel.
The sweet spot is wide and consistent. And above all, the forehand is really easy to swing!
It doesn't feel out of control, but it still goes pretty far. That said, the short game and blocking are easy to do too. I felt like balance is really what this blade is about. Still testing out which rubber works best on it. It feels like a classic blade that makes your forehand feel like it's gotten better.
I've been getting overshoot misses, so I need to build up my technique more — still practicing.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

I'd heard this was Xu Xin's blade, so I was looking forward to trying it.
I switched over from the Innerforce Layer ZLC, so I'll base this review on that comparison. I used the FL handle.
The grip is a bit thin and easy to hold. The blade head is a bit longer than usual.
In basic drills, it feels almost like solid wood and is easy to control. The sweet spot is also wide, so you get good shots with high consistency.
When you hit a harder topspin drive, it bounces and produces a nasty, heavy ball. It has plenty of spin and a wide sweet spot, so there's really nothing to complain about.
Serves come out short with wood-level spin. It's also easy to control, so you can place the ball where you're aiming.
For receiving, stops are easy to do. You get good spin on them. Aggressive play is also easy to pull off.
The drawbacks are the weight and the feel. At close to 95 grams, it tired me out a bit. The feel makes a "poc" kind of sound. This feel is a matter of personal taste, but it's not really my thing.
Rubbers that suit it well are the Tenergy series in general, and German rubbers.
It's a legendary blade, so give it a try.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard
