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.

It's hard and easy to generate speed with. Depending on the rubber you pair it with, a level, horizontal swing works well.

I was playing penhold with short pips on a Ma Lin-style carbon racket, but I bought this one wanting a bit more bounce and arc.
In actual topspin rallies, the ball flies about 15cm deeper than with the Ma Lin Hard Carbon, and the trajectory has a bit more arc to it. The short game does tend to fly a bit more too, so it helps to make adjustments - like catching the side of the ball, or returning it along the line the shot came from.
If you're still struggling in the short game even so, I think your only options are to thin out the rubber or give up on it.
The sweet spot feels quite wide - there aren't many rackets with this kind of feel, so once you get used to it, it's hard to put down (^ ^)
Also, mine is a lightweight penhold blade at 88.5g, and unlike what other reviewers say about it feeling heavy, I didn't get that - the balance point is closer to the handle than my previous racket too, so switching directions is actually easier for me (I use pips, and my S1 is light, around 170g).
Once you get used to it, the quality of your topspin drive against backspin with short pips is genuinely good, so when you're in that typical penhold-pips moment of hesitation, you can just go for the drive with confidence. Counters naturally get arc on them too, so it's surprising how high your success rate is if you don't force it.
It's got its quirks, but it's a really appealing racket overall.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

This is a very fast, aggressive racket for hitting the ball, but you might need to train up your strength to hold it properly.

This is a STIGA carbon racket, and I really like it. As an outer-carbon blade, the flight speed is probably about on par with the Timo Boll or Viscaria.
What I personally like is that it holds the ball well and makes it easy to put spin on. The max spin ceiling is high too.
It's got speed and spin both, so the ball carries incredibly well.
I'd recommend it to anyone who admires Xu Xin's playing style.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

I own both the 85g and 95g versions of this racket, both at 5.85mm blade thickness, so I compared them. The heavier one has about 2-3 balls' worth more bounce, and spin also felt a bit easier to put on.

I put Yinhe tacky rubber (thin) on both sides, coming to 190g, and just used it purely as strength training. But that's rough for a Chinese-penhold blade. The shape and weight balance are easy to handle, but in the end I couldn't really make use of it, and it put me at a disadvantage in matches.
STIGA's Hybrid Wood NCT Chinese-penhold and the Joola Konyor/Gaciano/Absolum Chinese-penhold were heavy too, but the Dynasty Carbon Chinese-penhold has a top-heavy balance, and it gave me tennis elbow in my forearm.
I like a hard feel, so use it at your own risk if you're not focused on winning.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

I'd heard it had carbon in it.
I was worried the feel might be bad because of that, but I didn't need to be.The power, and the feel too, were both wonderful.
