Stiga Allround Classic WRB

Classic and epic blade with good control, speed, and a soft touch. It strikes a fine balance between speed and control. My setup includes DHS H 3 NEO 39 degrees on the forehand and XIOM VEGA Euro Max on the backhand. This combination provides ample speed for attacking and excellent control for short-game defense.

The blade pairs well with both European and Chinese rubbers. It is particularly effective with faster rubbers for an aggressive style of play. Compared to previous blades I have used extensively (Korbel Jap, Korbel Magic Hand, Xiom Solo, Bat Kong LingHui Euro), I selected the Stiga AC WRB for its superior control and comfortable speed while attacking.

Its lightweight construction, exceptional quality, ideal balance, and distinctive sound enhance the overall playing experience.

The blade is ideal for beginners, offering a good balance of control and power. It is also relatively lightweight, making it easy to maneuver. However, the blade may not be the best choice for advanced players who need more power and precision.

Firstly, I am using this Stiga Allround Classic WRB with Palio the Way 40+ for the forehand rubber and Friendship/729 729-08 as the backhand rubber. I am a beginner. Before using this blade, I used Yinhe N9s and N11s blades.

In terms of speed, the N9s is faster than the N11s, which is faster than the Stiga ALC WRB. In terms of stiffness, the Stiga ALC is stiffer than the N11s, which is stiffer than the N9s.

I feel this is a perfect blade if you are a beginner and would like to develop technique.

Can be as light as 70g, and does everything you need. Not too fast for me, and quite flexible. Perfect for learning strokes, going well with all the rubbers I tried so far (light, medium-soft tensors, and classical rubbers). Made in Sweden.

New to agree with CHOP review. I do feel a lack of speed if it’s paired with too slow rubber, but with a dynamic Tenergy 05fx on FH and rasanter R37 on BH, I feel I can just play without always trying to limit the energy I bring to topspin. You can easily change from passive to high tempo and engage with the ball. You really feel the impact of your inputs. I don’t understand why everyone wants carbon and ultra-fast blades. It’s fitting for all beginners up to confirmed players as well. I truly recommend it.

Simply the best. I paired it with Rasant Grip on forehand at 1.7 and RP Sponge at 1.9 on backhand. The control is beyond imagination with enough speed to finish the point for an enthusiastic amateur player like me. It can surely be true for more skilled players as well.

Update: The Conic handle is fabulous. It provides more pace and rotation for your wrist movements than ever, allowing you to generate a wicked spin, especially during serves!

This blade is a true champion from Stiga. Its lightweight construction makes it compatible with both classic and tensor rubbers. The blade offers excellent ball feedback upon impact.

For amplified speed and spin, consider pairing it with tacky Chinese rubbers. For a true spin-generating powerhouse with exceptional speed, pair it with Juic 999 turbo or Hurricane 3 Neo.

Minor sanding may be necessary to refine the handle’s smoothness. To prevent splintering during rubber changes, seal the blade when new.

While suitable for all skill levels, advanced power loopers playing away from the table may find it lacking. All grip types are accommodated, but a slightly larger size could enhance comfort.

As a beginner, I was initially tempted to opt for a faster and more expensive blade, equating “faster” with “better.” However, I’m grateful that seasoned players recommended a balanced ALL Round blade with versatile rubber for my first racket. This choice has enabled me to develop proper technique for every stroke before determining my preferred style of play.

Pros:

* Suitable for beginners and intermediate level players. As you improve, simply change the rubber. * Superb control * The extra vibration that WRB gives is delightful. * A great chopping blade too, provided you use the right rubber. * Has a heavier head. This increases the likelihood of a lower ball trajectory/throw angle.

Cons:

* Not suitable with hard & tacky rubber. Attempts to use DHS Hurricane 3 and DHS Hurricane 2 Neo were unsuccessful. It’s possible that the glue was applied incorrectly. * A VERY slow blade. It’s essential to pair it up with a fast rubber.

Conclusion:

Great blade if you know the right rubber to use!

Tips:

Currently using Xiom Omega IV Pro - Max thickness - on my FH Yasaka Mark V - Max thickness - on my BH

This combination works superbly for me!

As a highly skilled player in a top-ranked club, I specialize in power looping with both wings. My former blade was causing the ball to travel too far during loops, resulting in a lack of control. Consequently, I decided to experiment with new blades, beginning with a slower option that prioritized feel.

I have both the Off and All versions of this blade, and the difference between the two is not much. I played with this blade for two months and have mixed feelings about it. I hoped that the All version would compensate for the lack of control of the Off version, but the difference was only slightly noticeable. The speed was far too slow for my game.

On the other hand, the weight is excellent.

Great control for close-to-the-table, all-round play.

The best all-round blade in the world, it’s good for any style of play including choppers.
