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

By UltraSpin · 2026-06-06 · blade

The Stiga Infinity VPS V is a perennial recommendation for spin-oriented attackers who want an all-wood blade rather than carbon. It uses Stiga’s Veneer Precision System on the inner plies and a stiff, thin Diamond Touch outer, and reviewers keep describing the same character: controllable, spinny and 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 is genuinely high for an OFF blade, so the short game and placement are dependable while there is 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 many gears. Its natural home is near to mid-table, where it shines for an all-round attacking game; from well behind the table it gives up a little power to carbon blades, which is the main trade-off. One practical note reviewers stress: Stiga ships it fairly raw, so the thin outer veneer should be sealed and the wings may benefit from light sanding.

What Reviewers Agree (and Disagree) On

Reviewers agree on control, feel, gears and spin-friendliness, and many rate it among the best 5-ply offensive blades for the money. The disagreement is about power at distance: most find it has enough with the right rubber and technique, while some feel it gives up ground to carbon from well back.

Who Should Buy It

Buy it if you are a dynamic, spin-first attacker who wants a controllable all-wood OFF blade with many gears for heavy looping near to mid-table, and you are happy to seal the thin outer veneer. It is less ideal if you want maximum power from well behind the table, where a carbon blade pulls ahead.
