TT Sensei Ratings
✦Our expert analysis of this blade's performance characteristics
Dynasty Carbon Xu Xin Edition is consistently rated as an OFF+ blade, offering significant power and speed for aggressive play. The TeXtreme+ carbon layers provide explosive energy on powerful shots and counter-attacks. While some players note it's fast but not the absolute fastest in the extreme OFF+ category, its speed is a defining feature that supports dynamic offensive strategies.
Despite its high-speed nature, this blade offers commendable control, especially in the short game and active blocking. The large sweet spot aids consistency, and many players find it manageable for an offensive blade. However, achieving optimal control demands precise technique to harness its power effectively, making it best for skilled attackers.
The blade delivers a crisp, solid feel that blends classic wood responsiveness with modern carbon stability. Feedback is clear on hard shots, yet it retains a distinctive 'woody' character, making it feel responsive and connected without being overly harsh.
It produces a medium-high throw angle, ideal for generating powerful loops and effectively lifting backspin balls. This arc enhances both spin and placement, supporting aggressive, topspin-heavy play.
Koto outer veneers typically shorten dwell time, but the TeXtreme+ carbon and overall construction allow sufficient dwell for generating significant spin, especially on powerful strokes. It offers good dwell time for a carbon blade, supporting spin-oriented play effectively.
This blade is notably stiff due to its TeXtreme+ carbon layers and Koto outer veneers. The stiffness ensures direct power transfer and speed, but it offers less flex compared to all-wood or softer composite blades, favoring a more linear response.
Vibration levels are moderate, providing clear feedback without being jarring. The TeXtreme+ carbon technology contributes to stability, helping to dampen excessive vibrations for a more controlled feel.
Handmade in Sweden with premium materials, the blade boasts excellent build quality and durability. The TeXtreme+ carbon technology and precise layering contribute to consistent performance. While a few users have mentioned minor edge finishing details, overall craftsmanship is highly praised, reflecting Stiga's commitment to top-tier production.
Technology
Stiga Dynasty Carbon Xu Xin Edition incorporates advanced TeXtreme+ carbon technology, a patented Swedish innovation. This super-thin carbon fiber fabric maximizes strength-to-weight ratio, providing consistent stability and power distribution across the entire blade, including the edges. The result is an enlarged sweet spot and crisp feedback without compromising balance. Combined with a thick middle veneer for enhanced core feel and quality Koto outer veneers optimized for the ABS ball, this technology delivers a unique blend of wood-like touch and carbon-powered performance.
