Description
The STIGA Cybershape 1-Star table tennis racket is a racket with the revolutionary Cybershape shape, designed for beginners and club players who want to develop their playing technique with an emphasis on control. The unique hexagonal blade shape - the same one used by world vice-champion Truls Møregard - provides a significantly larger effective sweet spot, located higher than in classic round rackets, allowing beginners to practice their technique and correct angles of attack more confidently. The racket is built on a strong 5-ply wood base with WRB technology, which adds speed to the ready position and power to the hit. The 1.8 mm sponge pad is ITTF certified, so the racket can be used in official tournaments. The comfortable concave handle provides a secure grip, and the Cybershape shape itself helps the player clearly see and control the angle of the blade during serves and topspin. STIGA Cybershape 1-Star is the perfect choice for those starting out in table tennis or moving up to the club level with modern equipment from a world-class brand.
The Swedish company STIGA Sports AB, which has been producing table tennis products since 1944, is a world leader in the industry with over 80 years of tradition in creating high-quality rackets. These rackets have been played by true legends of the sport - Hans Alser, Stellan Bengtsson and Ulf "Tikan" Karlsson. Today, the brand supports the world's leading players, including Sweden's Truls Møregard - the second racket of the world and silver medalist at the 2024 Olympics, and Egypt's Khana Goda - one of the brightest young stars of table tennis. STIGA makes its premium blades by hand in Sweden (headquarters in Eskilstuna), combining engineering innovation with classic craftsmanship. The company is the official equipment supplier to the national teams of China, Sweden, Norway, Finland and Hong Kong, as well as the only non-Chinese supplier to the Chinese national team.
Our research shows that for most players, the optimal hitting area is in the upper half of the blade. That's why we wanted to create a racket that is comfortable to play with, but also takes your game to the next level. The Cybershape offers a large hitting surface at the top of the blade and a smaller hitting surface at the bottom of the blade. This means that the blade is not too heavy, thus offering the perfect balance along with the ideal point of best hit.
Training level : beginner level (at this level we learn to control the ball) and club level (for those who want to develop their technique in a club game).
Standards, certificates: certified by ITTF (International Table Tennis Federation)
Playing style: control and all-around play (ALL) - ideal for practicing correct technique.
Racket base : a strong 5-layer wooden base without carbon fibers, which provides stable and predictable ball behavior - exactly what is needed to develop basic technique. The unique Cybershape shape was developed in collaboration with the Royal Swedish Institute of Technology (KTH): the hexagonal geometry widens the upper part of the blade and narrows the lower part, due to which the effective impact zone (sweet spot) increases, and the balance of the racket remains optimal...
