Stiga comments for Tube Alluminium WRB
The Tube Aluminum is the fastest of the Stiga Tube blades. The micro-channels are filled with aluminum alloys. The result is a blade for speed demons looking for the fastest blade, without sacrificing on the "STIGA feeling". The STIGA TUBE blades are manufactured using a new technology where the middle veneer has gone through a revolutionary treatment. STIGA has programmed it's high tech blade manufacturing machines to mill "micro-channels" lengthways in the middle ply of the blades. The channels are then filled with different materials depending on the blades desired characteristics. Due to this revolutionary construction, the blades "feeling" does not disappear even if the blade is very fast.

Comments: This blade is quite quick. My only complaint is that the outer layers of the blade are susceptable to damage when changing out rubbers, so handly with care if you decide to purchase this blade. I used to play with a Juic C-6 with Almana rubber, and that racket was like a rocket as it was, but it doesn't have anything on this blade. I'll give it a 10 for speed.

Comments: A comfortable OFF+ blade to play with. Generating speed and power is its main and distinguished feature. The WRB & Tube technology help to further ease power generation for this fairly lightweight blade (86g). More control and spin oriented rubbers with decent speed (i.e. OFF-) are recommended. Craftmanship and wood quality are decent, but somewhat average.

Comments: b4 i thought this was heavy and too fast without control, i have proven myself wrong on both views! im using dhs skyline 3 and globe 999 national and its super duper light! the control is good despite the speed which is the same as that of a gergely's! it has a better feel than many carbon blades though, if this blade can be tamed through practice you'd produce amazing speed play with touch n control!

Comments: I think overall is a good good blade, Im not going to blame nothing of it, is a good blade with enough speed but never in excess, I'm a looper, really needed speed glued soft sponged rubbers to take the best of it Im a looper and I enjoy it with Magna and neos sound glued both good feeling, give it a try. High class STIGA blade

Comments: This blade is made for speed, I just love the feeling of an Aluminium blade compared to an Carbon one, it takes awhile getting used to, but once tamed its great for allround play, on the table and off, good for spin and speed. Worth trying out if you cant afford a sardius. Great with tensor rubbers on the Fh like Tango Xtreme, and Donic F1.

Comments: This blade is a total disappointment. Its control drops down way too low. not reccomended. Get tube carbo instead.

Comments: Excellent attacking blade that works best with a more spin oriented rubber.... I've found a fast rubber makes it difficult to do controlled pushes; otherwise I would have given it a 10. The blade itself generates enough speed so a fast rubber is not necessary anyway. It has a nice solid feel whether counter attacking, blocking, or pushing. Definitely worth the money!

Comments: This is a great light fast blade that has feeling and touch and large sweet spot. I have tried many carbon baldes like Gergely, Sardius, Primorac Carbon etc in the past which are good fast blades but they lack feeling and touch and are generally heavier. The control of the Alum is much better too due to the good feel for the ball. When smashing a high lob ball, the cracking sound and feel on the hand and the speed it produces is just fantastic. I love this blade. Those who say it is way too fast are probably better off with an all round blade. If one has an allround style, there are many great allround or even off- blades out there to choose from. Buying this blade which is suitable for off+ powerplay and then condemning the blade is just not a fair thing to do.

Comments: For a super fast blade, the control is good. But looping with this is almost impossible! Too fast for a good loop or loop kill. Pushes will not make it on the table. Fast with low control.

Comments: This blade is very fast. Very good for looping players and it is hard to get lots of spin on the ball of a serve. almost impossible to push short or to dig. You wil get a very punchy feeling with this blade. It is a bit expensive though...

Comments: Alminum tube is fast I rate it 8 but the fastest is Stiga Titanium WRB st. Its super fast, light, and powerfull, easy to control, good with stinging blocks and smash with nice sound. I would rate it more than perfect 10. clearly a new table tennis weapon of the 21st century

Comments: A very fast blade that is good for the offensive player. It also does a good job blocking against opponents slams. A little bit difficult to control at times when trying to push against your opponent.

Comments: The blade can feel a little heavy so I've put Innova ultra light on it (still can feel a bit heavy at times). It has great speed for a non carbon blade, however at times I've found it hard to make delicate controlled pushes. This is probably because I've only used the blade for 2 weeks so far and I need a bit of time to adjust. Other than that if you want something fast that's not carbon then this blade is almost perfect.

Comments: one of the best blades with no carbon almost perfect though the only part i hate with this blade is the handle is too ROUND and your grip will be the main problem!
