Professional Long 5

Stuor Professional Long 5 is consistently described as a fast blade, ideal for offensive play. This speed enables powerful drives and aggressive loops, a characteristic attributed to its hybrid construction with inner ALC carbon layers. Players find it provides significant pace for attacking rallies.

Despite its speed, this blade is highly regarded for its control. The inner ALC carbon layers contribute to a softer feel and increased dwell time, aiding in precise shot placement and managing fast exchanges. This balance makes it surprisingly manageable, even for players who might typically find very fast blades challenging.

Stuor Professional Long 5 delivers a medium-hard feel. The ALC carbon layers provide solid, direct feedback to the hand while still allowing sufficient ball dwell, a characteristic favored by offensive players who want a clear connection during strokes.

Throw angle is medium-high. This is beneficial for aggressive looping, helping shots clear the net with good height while maintaining forward momentum and effectively generating spin on attacking strokes.

The inner ALC carbon construction provides good dwell time. This allows players to impart significant spin, particularly on loops and topspin shots, and helps in feeling the ball's contact for enhanced control and spin generation.

The blade is moderately flexible. This flexibility aids in spin generation and provides a comfortable feel during strokes, allowing the blade to bend effectively on powerful shots to translate into more power and spin.

Vibration feedback is moderate. It provides enough sensation to feel the ball's impact and trajectory, which is crucial for control and touch play, without being excessively jarring, striking a useful balance for both power and precision.

Build quality is generally considered good, especially for its price point, with a solid and durable construction. However, our testing shows the finishing details and aesthetic refinement may not reach the level of more premium, high-end blades, representing a slight compromise for the performance value offered.
