External Review for Stiga Dynasty Carbon on December 8, 2024

Using cpen version of this. Dynasty Carbon is a freaking rocket, very fast counterloop and power loop. Came from legacy carbon. D09c on FH, D05 on BH. Feeling and control is amazing, I can counter any serve and place ball anywhere I want. The handle soaks up water, have a couple dark patches from sweat. Not much splintering when regluing rubbers.

External Review for Stiga Dynasty Carbon on April 24, 2024

A great and consistent blade for those with enough power. The blade is slower and rewards those who can always hit large and strong shots while staying loose. Best utilized when playing an off the table game, but touch shots are good as well.

Problem comes in with fitness and strength level since this blade requires you to do a lot of work yourself. If you are out of position you're able to spin the ball in well enough, but there are issues from always having to swing with a lot of power. For the average person this will get difficult with more match play in a day.

External Review for Stiga Dynasty Carbon on October 18, 2023

CPEN perspective TG2 Provincial BS 40* forehand. TG2 is my go to forehand due to short play control and that the speed is dependant on your own level of strength and technique. The blade Ive received from TT11 un-weighed (but quite light by feel as requested) is discounted if youre a member. One thing that is most noticeable (with my blade set up) is that short play and blocking aspects is amazing. Smashes are good also. The only aspect that I find still a mystery is the range between hard and slow shots. See when you play hard shots the carbon activates immediately and the strength of the blade becomes very fast and at times unpredictable to use (I may need more time with blade). When using low strength touch/block shots it is very easy to keep ball short but at times puts the ball too short. The feel of the blade is unique and unmatched in my experience. Comparison to popular mainstream standard blade such as the YEO. You may not enjoy this blade immediately. It would take some getting use. I say the YEO has better feedback & better predictability but less speed and shot variety from distance. Comparison to H301T: Although both are somewhat similar in play. Dynasty has less predictability between short and hard hitting shots (note: with current Equipment set up). I hope to save your bank accounts and E.J desires adding to the many reviews posted. Im awaiting the Stiga Intense CCF C.Pen to become worldwide available.

I recently stopped using this blade, but used it for over 2 years, I play for my university and while using this blade was playing in the 1700s USATT rating range.

This blade is very heavy mine with rubbers weighing 202 grams. It is slightly top-heavy but more even throughout the blade so it's not that noticeable with the top heaviness. It's a medium stiff blade with a mostly wood feeling, so if you're wanting to try a carbon blade with a wood feel, despite this being an outer ply carbon blade it feels much like a wood blade.

Things I felt this blade does well: throw angle was perfect for me, not too open not to closed. I have never been very good at blocking and even after training blocking I still struggle with it, but this blade is great at blocking. It's not too fast on pushes but gets fast whenever you hit the ball with an offensive stroke. The handle was very comfortable to hold and never slipped in my hand.

Things I didn't like about this blade and the reason I've switched: very heavy, if I were in the shape I was in when I first started playing with this blade it wouldn't be a problem, but alas I am not hitting the gym enough anymore and the weight of this blade is slowing my game down. The only other thing I do not like about this blade is that it is a little too stiff for me; I like a lot of flexibility in my blades because I like the feeling of them, and this blade does not offer a lot of feedback.

Overall if you're interested in this blade I think you will like it as long as you like a heavy and semi-stiff blade.

External Review for Stiga Dynasty Carbon on January 18, 2021

I come from DHS301, Carbonado 290, Loki K5, Stiga Ebenholz. I am Cpen. With YinHe Jupiter National FH, Victas V11 BH.
Dynasty Carbon is amazing, give me a high number of control, consistency. The layer of carbon is tiny, and the mid layer of ayous is thick, i believe the number of control and larger sweet spot is come from this build.
My serve immediately become more spinny and FH is more consistency.

As compare to Ebenholz, DC give me more control yet a satisfactory speed, while Ebenholz is very pure on speed. I able to find a spec of 78 grams, plus my rubbers total less than 170 grams. after several hours of play it improve my RPB consistency. It is quite near to DHS 301 build actually, but the amount of control is higher and larger sweet spot.

Highly recommend to cpen players, but have to find a light piece.

External Review for Stiga Dynasty Carbon on October 22, 2020

I have played with the "Stiga Dynasty Carbon" for a year now, after playing with the 'Stiga infinity VPS' for over 2 years. My opinion is that the dynasty is better in every way to the 'infinity'. This maybe oblivious given the price difference, but I did extensive comparison between the blades and will give highlight only. Blocking is better because it heavy, mine weighs in at 198 grams with rubber and over grip 'infinity' weighs 185 gram with same rubber and overripe . 15 grams or .5 oz., not much of difference but noticeable when holding it, 'dynasty' must be slightly head heavy. Blocking is outright fun, when you can control and force you opponent hit a better passing shot. Less effort than 'infinity' to get the same pace. I used to not like blocking as i thought it was too passive, but the 'dynasty' change that. So basically the 'dynasty' is faster than 'infinity' which makes for me everything easier i.e. I don't over swing which leads to better control, leads to learning to relax, leads to less unforced errors. The manufacture speed rating must be an error, no way rated 46 when 'infinity' is 99, but that is all relative anyway. Like all things I had to tweak my techniques to the 'dynasty' and comparison is based on user experience. All the comparison was done at club play, on machine 'Power Pong 5000' and Stiga mantra h rubbers. Player profile 'Too aggressive for my own good and learning to relax type'

Very fast blade. Will over shoot the table if pair with long trajectory rubber.
Can pair well with T05 or similar rubbers like Xiom Vega Japan.
Spin is very strong with correct rubber and technique.
Weak hit will feels like all wood. Speed will kick in when hit hard.

My stiga dynasty xu xin edition is kinda heavy 97g! which i pair up with TSP ventus spin and soft, in total of 179g. The appearance of dark coloured wood and special designed lens definitely attracted me, with the extra thin textreme carbon layer arranged closely to the surface and the sweet contact sound!The blade can easily hit through and get the carbon feeling with little effort. What impress me the most is the sweet spot and good dwelling time which enable me to execute topspin at low and difficult angle. Though it appears heavy by weight, it's actually well balanced and i dont overwork my wrist. Totally a great blade! (except for the price)

A fantastic blade use by the world champion Xu xin himself. You can feel that large sweet spot as soon as you hit the ball. My favorite blade 2018 and 2019. It it is a expensive blade but it's worth the price. Nice crisp feeling. Great spin, super fast and amazing control. I'm happy about the purchase.

External Review for Stiga Dynasty Carbon on January 9, 2019

I've been expecting Xu Xin's new blade for a long time now. Very excited to finally get my hands on it. Mine weighs 90g (FL) and thickness is 5.87mm. I use Yinhe Big Dipper (38 degrees) on FH and Palio AK47 yellow on BH. The resulting racket weighs 181g and is well balanced. Despite the hefty price tag, the blade has rough finish, for which Stiga is known. I definitely recommend sanding down the wings a bit to avoid blistering your fingers during play. Right from the start, this blade feels very woody, I don't feel much carbon at all. Maybe it's because the carbon layer is extremely thin. The blade has Koto top ply (same as H301), but it doesn't feel hard. I think the hardness feels closer to a limba top ply. I would rate the blade as only medium hard. Despite a 5.87mm thickness, the blade is quite flexible. Not quite as flexible as something like Stiga Intensity, but quite close to DHS H301. I would rate the blade as having an average stiffness. My overall impression is that Dynasty Carbon feels like a woodier version of H301, or a more flexible and slightly slower version of Carbonado 90. For the past few months, I've been alternating between Nittaku Accoustic Carbon Inner and Stiga Intensity. I feel no need for adjustment at all when I picked up Dynasty Carbon. The control is very good in short game (FH flip, push, loop over the table are easy to execute) and when looping away from the table. The throw angle is medium high. However, I noticed most of my shots have pretty flat trajectory. It's very easy to loop backspin and place the ball anywhere on the table. Pushes, blocks and flips on BH are also very solid. While the blade is not super stiff, it's stiff enough to support all my BH techniques. In summary Dynasty Carbon is a solid OFF blade, with very woody feel. This blade is able to maintain extremely good control in short game while providing many gears. If price is not an issue, I recommend this blade to any two-wing loopers.
