The Stiga Tube Offensive WRB is a 5-ply composite blade designed for the modern attacking player. Constructed with an outer layer of African Ayous and an inner layer of Koto, this blade provides a crisp and responsive feel, allowing for precise shot-making and powerful attacking strokes. The Tube Offensive WRB is surprisingly fast with a speed rating of 99, generating immense power behind each swing. Despite its offensive orientation, it still offers decent control rated as 64, enabling players to maintain accuracy and consistency when executing delicate shots or counter-attacking.
The Stiga Tube Offensive WRB possesses a medium stiffness rating of 6.5, making it easy to generate spin and maneuver the ball with finesse. This characteristic is particularly beneficial for players who utilize wrist action and spin techniques to create deceptive shots and keep their opponents off balance. Additionally, the blade's hardness rating of 7.3 contributes to its overall durability and resilience, ensuring exceptional performance and longevity.
With a weight of approximately 86 grams, the Tube Offensive WRB is slightly heavier than the average blade. While this may be a concern for some players who prioritize maneuverability, the added weight provides stability and a solid feel during gameplay. Furthermore, the blade's well-balanced construction promotes excellent feel and responsiveness, enhancing the player's overall control and confidence.
Based on forum reviews and feedback from experienced table tennis players, the Stiga Tube Offensive WRB has garnered a reputation as a high-quality blade that delivers impressive speed, control, and spin. Its unique combination of materials and construction makes it a suitable choice for advanced players seeking an offensive blade with a balanced feel and exceptional performance.
Very good offensive blade. I use Donic Bluefire M2 on the forehand and Donic Bluefire JP03 on the backhand. With this setup, the paddle has great control and allows me to do pretty much anything: serve return, short game, topspin, drive, and smash. One downside to this blade is that it is more fragile compared to Butterfly blades.
Played this blade some years ago, but also for three years at least. I should try it again. I sorted my Tube Off (84 g) out because of increasing breakings of the core. It lost stability and stiffness. It felt really special with its fine and sensitive vibrations.
I bought another one secondhand (87 g). It vibrated more roughly but was faster also. I didn’t like it. So I repaired my better one (glued the core) and put a new outer ply on it. I’m about to test it. But my Yinhe T-7 (rated here 0.4 less in speed) is a lot faster than the TUBE Off.
Played mid-soft rubbers on the bh and medium (mostly Nitttaku Hammond pro alpha) rubbers on fh. I wouldn’t recommend hard Chinese rubbers on the TUBE Off because of the medium hard hitting moment.
Best blade.
This is the best blade I’ve ever used. It has amazing control and speed, and it feels great in my hand. I’ve been playing table tennis for over 10 years, and this is the best blade I’ve ever used. I would definitely recommend this blade to anyone looking for a high-quality blade.
