Stiga Carbonado 190 – Table Tennis Blade

Product Experience Engineered for the player who demands unwavering stability and clinical precision, the Stiga Carbonado 190 is a masterpiece of Swedish craftsmanship. By utilizing specialized TeXtreme® Spread Tow Carbon fibers oriented at a strict 90-degree angle, this blade offers a unique flexural stiffness that translates into a long, piercing trajectory. It is designed specifically for those who favor a direct, power-oriented game, providing a consistent sweet spot that rewards aggressive strokes with exceptional feedback. Whether you are executing a decisive counter-hit or a high-velocity smash, the Carbonado 190 remains remarkably composed, offering the “wood feel” of a classic blade with the explosive energy of modern carbon technology.

Core Characteristics

• 90-Degree Carbon Orientation: Features TeXtreme® carbon fibers placed at a 90-degree angle for increased flexural stiffness and a flatter ball arc.

• Linear Power Delivery: Optimized for direct, horizontal strokes and aggressive driving playstyles.

• Enhanced Stability: The Spread Tow carbon technology provides a uniform surface that minimizes “dead spots” across the blade.

• Direct Ball Feedback: Engineered to deliver a crisp, clear sensation upon impact, allowing for better tactical adjustments.

• Optimized Sweet Spot: The Carbonado 190 features a wide, horizontal sweet spot specifically tuned for high-speed counter-hits.

Key Performance Highlights

• TeXtreme® Spread Tow Technology: This advanced carbon material is thinner and stronger than traditional carbon fibers. By spreading the tow into a flat tape, Stiga has created a blade that is lighter yet more stable, ensuring that every ounce of energy is transferred directly into the ball.

• High-Velocity Trajectory: Because of the 90-degree fiber orientation, the Carbonado 190 produces a longer and lower trajectory compared to its 45-degree counterparts. This makes it lethal for players who stay close to the table and want to overwhelm opponents with sheer speed and depth.

• Consistent Response: The structural integrity of the 5+2 ply construction ensures that the blade behaves predictably even during maximum-effort shots. This consistency is vital for high-level competitive play where precision is as important as power.

• The Carbon-Wood Synthesis: Despite its high speed rating, the Carbonado 190 maintains a remarkable “woody” touch. This allows for a seamless transition between passive blocks and explosive offensive maneuvers without losing the delicate feel required for short-game flicking and pushing.
