✦Our expert analysis of this blade's performance characteristics
This blade is built for speed, offering high power reserves for aggressive, direct play. Its stiff nature allows for quick point-winning shots and powerful finishes from close to mid-distance, making it a true offensive weapon for players who want to dictate the pace.
Despite its speed and stiffness, the blade provides a good level of control crucial for offensive play. The precise feedback from ball contact allows for flexible and secure play, particularly in serve-receive situations, supporting an aggressive game plan.
Players report a distinctly stiff feel with virtually no flex, contributing to its direct power transfer. This can result in a less sensitive, solid contact sensation that some describe as board-like, which enhances speed but may reduce touch for delicate shots.
It produces a fairly straight, medium-low throw angle, effective for aggressive, direct attacks rather than high-arching loops. This trajectory works exceptionally well with rubbers like Hurricane 3, favoring a fast, penetrating game.
Due to its stiff nature and focus on direct power, dwell time is average to slightly below average. This setup favors quick, powerful shots over prolonged ball contact, which can limit the ability to generate extreme spin from a long dwell.
This blade is characterized by its complete lack of flexibility, contributing to a rigid, stiff response. This rigidity is ideal for players who want maximum speed and a consistent, direct power transfer for their uncompromising offensive game.
The stiff construction results in very low vibration feedback. This enhances directness and power during strikes but reduces the sensation of ball contact for players who prefer more pronounced, dampened feedback from their blade.
Crafted with precision and developed alongside a professional player, this blade showcases solid construction and good durability. The use of quality materials like Limba wood in a 7-ply build ensures consistent performance for demanding offensive play.

Similar Blades
Stiga Allround Classic (SK7)
Our testing shows the GEWO Bence Majoros OFF shares similar speed characteristics for close and mid-zone play with the Stiga Allround Classic (SK7). However, the GEWO is noticeably stiffer with no flex, while the SK7 offers a softer, more flexible feel with greater latency and vibration. This makes the SK7 a better choice for players seeking a more sensitive and flexible playing experience compared to the direct, rigid response of the Majoros OFF.
