Cybershape Carbon CWT
Stiga Cybershape Carbon CWT is a revolutionary offensive blade featuring a patent-pending hexagonal shape that optimizes the hitting area, particularly in the top half favored by modern attackers. This design enlarges the sweet spot for better control on serves and returns. Its inner-carbon construction with CCF (Close Core Fiber) technology provides a blend of speed and a surprisingly soft touch. The standout Custom Weight Technology (CWT) allows players to personalize weight and balance using three magnetic weights, offering exceptional adaptability. Crafted with premium wood handles and a factory-lacquered surface, it combines cutting-edge innovation with player-centric customization for a distinctive and powerful experience.
This blade features a symmetrical 7-ply, 5+2 construction. It begins with outer plies of Black Koto wood, followed by Limba, an inner carbon fiber layer (CCF technology), a Kiri wood core, another inner carbon fiber layer, then Limba and Black Koto again. This inner-carbon construction is designed to provide speed while retaining a softer feel and better control compared to outer-carbon blades.

✦Our expert analysis of this blade's performance characteristics
Cybershape Carbon CWT is a fast offensive blade, rated highly for powerful attacks and counter-attacks. The combination of carbon fiber layers and the optimized hexagonal hitting area generates significant pace, making it suitable for players who rely on speed to dominate rallies. Our testing shows it delivers explosive power when you need it most.
Despite its high speed, this blade maintains impressive control. The CCF technology and enlarged sweet spot help players maintain accuracy during aggressive strokes. The customizable weight system further enhances control by allowing you to fine-tune the blade's balance to match your playing style, providing a stable and predictable feel.
The feel is medium-hard, offering a crisp and direct response with clear feedback. Thanks to the inner-fiber construction and CCF technology, it provides a softer touch than many outer-carbon blades, resulting in a comfortable yet powerful sensation on contact.
It produces a medium-high throw angle, ideal for powerful topspin shots and aggressive drives. This characteristic, combined with its speed and spin capabilities, makes it excellent for offensive players who like to loop and drive with authority.
Dwell time is moderate, allowing for good spin generation especially when paired with the right rubbers. While not exceptionally long, it provides sufficient contact time for effective spin-based tactics, supported by the blade's direct and responsive character.
Flexibility is moderate. The carbon layers contribute to stiffness and speed, while the wood plies and inner-carbon construction provide a degree of flex that aids in control and spin generation compared to very stiff outer-carbon blades.
Vibration levels are well-managed, providing clear feedback without excessive harshness. The construction is engineered to offer a comfortable feel during play, particularly when striking the ball within the optimized hitting area, giving you confidence in every shot.
Crafted with premium materials and precise construction, Cybershape Carbon CWT exhibits excellent build quality. The innovative CWT system, premium wood handles, and factory finish contribute to a durable and premium feel. Players report consistent performance and reliable craftsmanship that stands up to intense play.
Technology
Cybershape Carbon CWT incorporates several innovative technologies. The patent-pending Cybershape design creates a larger, optimized hitting area in the blade's upper half to improve power and control. CCF (Close Core Fiber) technology integrates carbon fiber close to the wood core, offering speed with a softer touch than typical outer-carbon blades. The standout Custom Weight Technology (CWT) allows magnetic attachment of interchangeable weights (3g, 6g, 9g) to the handle end for unparalleled weight and balance personalization. Handles feature high-quality wood with a textured surface for enhanced grip security.

Similar Blades
Stiga Cybershape Carbon
Cybershape Carbon CWT evolves from the original Cybershape Carbon. Both share the hexagonal shape and inner-carbon construction, but the CWT version adds the significant advantage of customizable weight and balance through magnetic weights. Choose the standard version for the core Cybershape performance, or the CWT for superior adaptability and personalization.
Butterfly Viscaria
Butterfly Viscaria is a legendary outer-carbon blade known for its speed, control, and classic feel. While both are offensive blades favored by top players, Viscaria offers a more traditional power profile, whereas Cybershape CWT provides a unique shape, potentially larger sweet spot, and the distinct advantage of weight customization through its CWT system.
Stiga Harimoto ALC
Stiga Harimoto ALC is another inner-carbon blade known for its excellent balance of speed, spin, and control. It shares characteristics like a larger sweet spot with the Cybershape, but lacks the unique hexagonal shape and the revolutionary CWT weight adjustment system. It's a strong performer for those who prefer a more traditional shape with inner-carbon technology.
