Stiga Infinity VPS V Review: A Spin-First 5-Ply Offensive Blade

By UltraSpin · 2026-06-06 · blade

For spin-oriented attackers who want wood over carbon, the Stiga Infinity VPS V keeps coming up. It runs Stiga’s Veneer Precision System on the inner plies under a stiff, thin Diamond Touch outer, and reviewers land on the same three words again and again: controllable, spinny, full of gears.

Performance

This is a spin-first offensive blade. The flex and dwell let the ball sink in for heavy brush loops on a medium arc, and the control runs high for an OFF blade, so the short game and placement hold up while there’s still power on tap in the fast game. The VPS-treated inner veneers and the stiff Diamond Touch outer add stability and a lively, consistent response with plenty of gears. Its home is near to mid-table, where it does its best work in an all-round attacking game. From well behind the table it gives up a little power to carbon blades — the main trade-off. One practical note reviewers keep raising: Stiga ships it fairly raw, so seal the thin outer veneer and give the wings a light sanding.

What Reviewers Agree (and Disagree) On

Reviewers line up on control, feel, gears and spin-friendliness, and many rank it among the best 5-ply offensive blades for the money. The argument is about power at distance. Most find it has enough with the right rubber and technique; some feel it loses ground to carbon from well back.

Who Should Buy It

Buy it if you’re a dynamic, spin-first attacker after a controllable all-wood OFF blade with plenty of gears for heavy looping near to mid-table, and you don’t mind sealing the thin outer veneer. Skip it if you want maximum power from well behind the table, where a carbon blade pulls ahead.

Do I need to seal it?

Yes. Reviewers keep recommending you seal the thin outer veneer, and the wings can use a light sanding since it ships fairly raw.

Who is it best for?
