What a amazing 5 wood blade we have here !
I always played with many Stiga blades : Classic allround (for start), Stiga WRB, Stiga offensif Classic, Stiga Infinity VPS, Emerald VPS (too Hard and Stiff) and Stiga Nostalgic all and off for my last main balde. The wenge wood give a bit too hard touch with de off and the all one was a little too slow without enough power in strokes so i decide ton come back with the Infinity.

Great blade for training my stroke and spin. Backhand flicking is easy, blocking is accurate. Using Mark V combo, they are great partners. Similar quality with Tibhar Nimbus All, but faster....great allwood blade for allround attacking...Update July 2019, after paired it with GoldArc 8 max (FH) and MX-S med (BH), the blade shows its true strength. Looping and counter looping are precised and powerful. Touch near the net is controlled. Top spin is lethal...
This my second blade for training my strokes. Good speed and control near and mid table. I use Mark V combo, and they are great partners. Smash and speed seem easy, with good control. Nice blade for practicing backhand flick and top spin. Blocks are accurate also. Great blade overall for allround attacker...
Excellent Off-, this is my competitive blade. Setup with Vega Tour on FH and Evolution FXP for the BH. Seems to be middle of the line in most points. Same composition as other classic Off- blades, Limba-Spruce-Ayous, finished with the Nittaku quality.
I hear people say that the Nittaku Glaze does well with this blade. Though that may be the case for the Glaze, it is not for this blade. I used the Glaze on this blade and was left dissatisfied. Use the Tibhar Evolution MP-X. That gives you a great merge of rubber and blade. Pros: Fast, good for looping, and good price. Cons: Small sweet spot, and a little heavy.
If you love 5 ply all-wood blades this blade is for you. For me it is better than Acoustic because of more harder feel that allows you to perform topspin better. The blade is reasonably fast, but not too much. The handle is long, which I like very much.
The best blade i have ever played with. Very high control and dwell. Paired with Yasaka Rising Dragon very easy to loop and produce lot of spin. Not bad for smash. Blocks very consistent. High quality and cheap !
good speed for looping but quite slow for flat hitting. Excellent finish product by Nittaku. A lower price compare to Acoustic and Tenor. But almost same character. Pair this blade with Nittaku Galze and Magic Carbon. Its main asset is its control and placement of the ball. In two months i will be upgrading my rubber set up from all plus to offensive., Great Blade and Excellent finish.
This blade suit for allrounder-offensive player.Good speed and excellent control.So,it's great for short-mid distance,long distance is ok too but you have to use your power more than usual.For me this blade's feeling is almost as good as Stiga clipper wood cr or Avx P700 because of this blade has 5 ply woods but clipper and P700 has 7 ply woods.
If you finding wood blade excellent control I suggest this blade but if you want more speed clipper & P700 are better choice.
For me,i choose this.

Excellent blade in the OFF- category. Has the excellent Nittaku quality, great playing characteristics, and a handle that people over 5 feet tall can actually use. With the right rubbers, this blade is great for intermediate to high level players.
This is an excellent blade, well made, perfect for close to table, also for long pips
