Stiga Titanium

The Stiga Titanium blade is a high-performance table tennis blade designed for players who demand speed and precision in their game. Crafted from a unique combination of materials, it features five plies of wood and two layers of titanium, which enhance its structural integrity and power. The incorporation of titanium provides an added dimension of responsiveness, making it an excellent choice for aggressive players who seek an explosive playstyle.

With a weight of approximately 98g, the Stiga Titanium is considered to be on the heavier side, which some players may find advantageous for stability and powerful shots. The blade is relatively thick, contributing to its overall rigidity and providing a stiff feel upon impact, with a stiffness rating of 6.8. This stiffness, combined with a hardness rating of 5.4, offers a balanced response that allows for both controlled defensive strokes and aggressive offensive maneuvers. Its flexibility is moderate, making it suitable for advanced players who can effectively manage the weight and leverage the blade’s responsiveness.

Alternatives to the Stiga Titanium include other high-quality blades such as the Primorac Carbon for those who seek similar speed with a softer feel or multiple layers of wood for increased control. However, players should be cautious as the Stiga Titanium may not be the best fit for beginners due to its weight and demanding nature. Experienced players who favor an aggressive playing style will find this blade to be an exceptional asset in both mid- and long-distance rallies, excelling in smash and loop shots, but it may require finesse to harness its full potential.
