Clipper Cybershape
Stiga Clipper Cybershape reimagines a classic offensive blade with modern geometry. This 7-ply all-wood construction delivers the trusted STIGA feel, now enhanced by the unique hexagonal Cybershape head. The design shifts the center of gravity upward, expanding the sweet spot for more powerful, stable shots without sacrificing control. Engineered in Sweden, it's built for experienced players who want the speed of a classic Clipper with the added advantage of a larger, optimized hitting area for a refined, aggressive playing style.
The blade features a symmetrical 7-ply all-wood construction. While the exact wood types are proprietary, this classic layering follows the design principles of the original Clipper Wood, providing a balanced structure that contributes to its speed, control, and characteristic dwell time.

✦Our expert analysis of this blade's performance characteristics
Clipper Cybershape is recognized for its impressive speed, building directly on the powerful legacy of the original Clipper Wood. The 7-ply construction provides a solid, fast foundation perfect for offensive play. The Cybershape design further amplifies this by concentrating the sweet spot, allowing players to generate powerful shots with excellent energy transfer from a larger effective hitting area.
Despite its offensive nature, Clipper Cybershape maintains a very respectable level of control. This balance is achieved through its all-wood construction, which provides inherent feedback, and the innovative Cybershape head. The enlarged sweet spot makes it easier to find the optimal contact point consistently, allowing for precise shot placement even during powerful, fast rallies.
Clipper Cybershape delivers a direct, responsive, and confident feel on contact. Characteristic of a 7-ply offensive wood blade, it leans towards the stiffer, harder end of the spectrum, providing a solid and immediate feedback that many advanced players prefer for powerful drives and loops.
The combination of its speed and slightly stiffer feel typically produces a medium-high throw angle. This is ideal for aggressive, looping styles, helping to generate deep, arcing topspin shots that clear the net with safety and dive onto the opponent's side of the table.
The all-wood construction provides a medium-to-long dwell time, allowing for good ball grip on the rubber. This facilitates effective spin generation, making it well-suited for heavy topspin loops and controlled brush strokes, despite its overall stiff and fast character.
Clipper Cybershape offers a medium-stiff to stiff flex profile. This stiffness is a primary contributor to its speed and power, providing a solid, catapult-like effect for drives. However, it retains enough flexibility to effectively brush the ball for spin, making it a versatile offensive tool.
The blade provides a clear and noticeable vibration feedback, which contributes to its direct and informative feel. The Cybershape design helps manage this vibration by optimizing the sweet spot, offering a balance where you can feel the ball contact distinctly without excessive shock, aiding in touch and control.
Manufactured in Sweden, Clipper Cybershape upholds STIGA's reputation for exceptional craftsmanship. Players report excellent wood quality, a versatile and confident feel, and impressive consistency in weight between individual blades. The build quality contributes directly to its performance, offering a high-quality, reliable playing experience that many find superior.
Technology
Stiga Clipper Cybershape's core technology is the integration of its classic 7-ply all-wood build with the innovative Cybershape head geometry. This patented hexagonal shape is engineered to optimize the hitting area by enlarging the upper half while trimming the lower section. This strategic design shifts the center of gravity and concentrates a larger sweet spot higher on the blade, precisely where most offensive shots are struck. The result is a significant boost in power and stability without losing the direct feel and control inherent to the wood construction. Combined with STIGA's Swedish manufacturing precision, it creates a modern blade that enhances a player's effective hitting zone.

While Swedish star Truls Möregårdh is most associated with the Cybershape Carbon model, the Clipper Cybershape represents the direct wood-based evolution of a blade lineage favored by professionals. It shares the core 7-ply all-wood construction with the legendary Clipper Wood, a design long appreciated at the top level for its offensive speed and spin-friendly characteristics. The Cybershape head on this model offers the modern advantages of an expanded sweet spot and optimized hitting area, benefits that align perfectly with the aggressive, powerful style of players like Möregårdh.
Similar Blades
Stiga Clipper Wood
The Stiga Clipper Wood is the classic predecessor and most direct alternative. Both blades share the identical 7-ply all-wood construction and offensive DNA, delivering similar speed and a direct feel. The key difference is the head shape: the Clipper Wood uses a standard shape, while the Cybershape version features the innovative hexagonal design that enlarges the sweet spot and alters the weight balance. Players who love the classic Clipper feel but want the modern advantage of a larger, optimized hitting zone should consider the Cybershape Clipper.
