Stiga Graphite Wood

This Stiga WRB Graphite blade is a composite construction featuring a 5+2 construction, utilizing graphite layers to enhance its performance capabilities. It is characterized by a notably high speed, surpassing the velocity of traditional Stiga offensive staples like the Clipper Wood and the Offensive Classic. Despite this heightened speed, it maintains a level of control that players often find balanced and effective for aggressive play.

Performance and Feel

The blade is frequently noted for its compatibility with medium to soft rubbers, which help to harness its power while providing a more manageable touch. As a composite model, it offers a distinct feedback compared to all-wood blades, prioritizing speed and crispness. The inclusion of the WRB system—which typically features a hollowed-out handle—influences the weight distribution, shifting the balance toward the head of the blade to facilitate increased momentum during offensive strokes.

Rarity and Collectibility

Due to its status as an older, discontinued model, this blade has become a significant item for collectors. Its relative scarcity in the current market, combined with its reputation as one of the most highly regarded fast blades in Stiga’s historical lineup, makes it a rare find for players seeking a specific vintage aesthetic and performance profile.
