Stiga Allround Classic CR

The Stiga Allround CR is an all-wood blade designed to prioritize control and tactile feedback over raw speed. It is characterized by its lightweight construction, which facilitates agility during close-to-the-table play and balanced rallies. The blade offers enough speed for offensive maneuvers provided the player can generate their own power, making it a reliable choice for those transitioning between defensive and attacking styles.

Playing Characteristics

• Feel and Feedback: The blade provides a distinct, connected feeling with the ball. While it offers high control, users have noted that it does not possess an exceptionally soft touch, which influences rubber selection; pairing it with overly hard rubbers may result in a lack of synergy.
• Flex and Stiffness: Although it maintains a classic all-wood composition, players report a noticeable degree of flex when striking the ball, which contributes to its forgiving nature during active play.
• Weight Distribution: The WRB version features a hollow handle design, which shifts the balance and contributes to the blade’s overall light weight. This makes it particularly maneuverable for players who favor quick adjustments over the table.

This blade serves as a versatile tool for developing players looking to improve their technique. Its design rewards consistent, well-timed strokes, acting as an effective platform for learning a variety of shots across different distances from the table.
