Stiga Dynasty Carbon Xu Xin Edition with DNA Pro M and DNA Pro S
Stiga Dynasty Carbon Xu Xin Edition is the result of years of development in search of a carbon blade with the ultimate balance between classic wood feel, known as the “Stiga feeling”, and carbon fabric development.
Stiga developed and designed Dynasty Carbon together with World and Olympic champion Xu Xin, to create a blade especially for the omniscient player who masters all elements of Table Tennis.
The Dynasty Carbon uses a newly developed Swedish made and patented carbon technology which makes the carbon fabric as stable and strong near the edges as in the middle, without affecting the overall balance and weight of the blade. This new Carbon technology is called TeXtreme+. TeXtreme+ draws from the original TeXtreme Spread Tow Carbon Technology and consists of an advanced, super thin carbon fiber fabric that maximizes the strength-to-weight ratio.
Dynasty Carbon is built with a thick middle veneer which enhances the core feeling and overall balance of the blade. The outer veneer is Koto, chosen for its quality and short in-game dwell time in comparison to more traditional outer veneers.
This blade which combines superb touch with unbeatable power, gives you the possibility to be as creative, technical and powerful as Xu Xin.
Dynasty Carbon Xu Xin Edition includes a signature of Xu Xin and features a uniquely designed lens by Xu Xin and his wife, former Chinese National Team player Yao Yan, describing their love story.

For a long time and the most part, Stiga has developed and produced all of their rubbers in Japan. Now, same as all other major table tennis brands, they collaborate with a German rubber factory. The rubbers of the DNA Pro series are the first Stiga rubbers to be produced in said German rubber factory. They were developed in a joint effort of German experts and members of both the Swedish and Chinese National teams to create a rubber for the modern offensive playing style. All three rubbers in the series are quite hard, with the hardest being H, at 50 degrees, M, in the middle, at 47.5 degrees, and the softest, S. One could say that this is a paradox, of sorts. The S usually stands for "soft". However here, the S version is actually mid-hard (42.5 degrees, to be exact). The sponges have larger pores as well, which Stiga says helps provide a better feel and a crisp, clear sound when hitting the ball.
