Stiga Offensive Classic WRB

The Stiga Offensive Classic WRB is a renowned 5-ply wooden table tennis blade highly regarded for its offensive capabilities and exceptional control. Crafted with a combination of Koto, Spruce, and Ayous, this blade harmonizes speed and touch, making it suitable for a variety of playing styles. It features the WRB (Weight Balance), which lightens the handle for better maneuverability and responding quickly when engaged in fast-paced exchanges.

Weighing in at 83 grams, the Offensive Classic WRB is considered to have a medium weight, providing a solid feel without being overly cumbersome. Its thickness contributes to a nice balance between power and finesse, allowing for both aggressive play and controlled shots. With a stiffness rating of 5, players will find it firm yet responsive, which aids in executing powerful loops and drives while maintaining a level of feedback crucial for precision play.

In terms of flexibility, this blade exhibits a certain amount of vibration, a design characteristic that some players may find advantageous for creating spin. While it excels in close-to-the-table play, it also offers good performance from mid-distance, especially when paired with the right rubbers, such as Tenergy or Sriver series. However, players looking for raw speed might consider other alternatives with carbon blades, as the Offensive Classic WRB strikes a balance between speed and control, making it more suited for those who prioritize placement and finesse in their game.
