Stiga Allround Classic WRB

Stiga Allround Classic WRB is rated as an all-round blade with moderate speed. It offers sufficient pace for controlled attacks, especially when paired with faster rubbers. The WRB system slightly enhances speed and power by optimizing weight distribution, making it quick enough for most rallies without being overwhelming.

Control is the standout feature of this blade. Players consistently praise its ability to place the ball with pinpoint accuracy, which is invaluable for developing technique and engaging in consistent rallies. This high level of control allows for confident, controlled offensive plays and reliable defensive shots.

The blade delivers a woody, soft, and elastic feel with excellent ball feedback. This medium-soft character allows for significant dwell time, enabling players to generate substantial spin and deeply understand the ball's interaction with the racket. The WRB system enhances this sensitivity and touch.

Due to its flexibility and dwell time, this blade generally produces a medium-high throw angle. This is particularly beneficial for looping and generating heavy spin, allowing for higher arcing shots that can dip sharply over the net.

The soft, all-wood construction provides excellent dwell time. This extended ball contact is key for increased spin generation on serves and topspin shots, giving players greater confidence and control during rallies. It's a primary reason for its popularity among spin-oriented players.

The blade is flexible, contributing to its soft feel and excellent dwell time. This flexibility allows players to flex the blade during strokes, generating more spin and power, particularly for looping. It is not a stiff blade, which is characteristic of traditional all-wood all-round designs.

The WRB system provides extra sensitivity and clear vibration feedback upon impact. Players feel the ball distinctly, which aids in control and technique development. While more noticeable with softer rubbers, this vibration is generally a positive attribute that enhances the overall feel of the shot.

Stiga Allround Classic WRB is widely regarded for its good build quality and durability. Manufactured in Sweden, it reflects the craftsmanship associated with the brand. Some users note a need for light sanding around the WRB insert for optimal comfort, but the overall construction is robust and contributes to its long-standing popularity.
