Description
STIGA Energy Wood WRB V2 is a five-ply wooden table tennis blade, aimed at an active all-round attacking game. European reviews note its lively wooden feel with a good balance between speed and control, suitable for playing at the table and at medium distance. Thanks to WRB technology (W eight balance- Recovery speed- Ball sensitivity), the blade has a more pronounced feedback when hitting, without losing stability. The design with a slightly reinforced middle layer adds power in top spins and straight shots. The Energy Wood WRB V2 is often recommended for players who want to switch from allround models to an attacking style without a sharp jump to hard carbon blades.

Heavy and fast, but not elastic, Limba wood adds a soft feel and excellent control needed by modern topspin players. The Limba top layer is the ideal wood for rackets that focus on accelerating the ball through rotation. An added bonus of Limba wood is its excellent acoustic properties. It creates an extremely pleasant sound that will remind you of your love of the game.

Handcrafted in Eskilstuna, Sweden - Behind every table tennis base are decades of intensive research, development and practical experience in table tennis. STIGA Table Tennis has been manufacturing its own bases in Eskilstuna, Sweden since the late 1960s - a true master craftsmanship, created for and with world-class players.
In table tennis, the "base" (blade) is almost like the violin in music. The rubber changes character, but it is the wood with its layers, the direction of the fibers and the way it is glued that determines the "voice" of the racket. STIGA has done just that...
