Offensive Classic (OC)

Stiga Offensive Classic provides an OFF- speed rating, offering sufficient pace for effective close-to-mid-distance offensive play. While not built for maximum velocity, it delivers enough speed for aggressive shots, especially when paired with faster rubbers, making it a versatile choice for controlled attacking.

This blade excels in control, giving players the confidence to execute precise shots with consistency. Its high rating makes it an excellent tool for developing players and for those whose tactics rely heavily on accurate placement and spin-oriented play.

Offensive Classic delivers a distinct, noticeable feel that clearly communicates ball impact. This classic feedback helps players develop proper technique and execute shots with confidence, though some perceive it as having a slight vibration component.

Stiga Offensive Classic tends to produce a medium-high throw angle, which is beneficial for generating powerful topspins with a good arc over the net.

The 5-ply wood construction, particularly the softer layers, contributes to good dwell time. This allows the ball to stay on the blade longer, enabling players to impart significant spin, especially during topspin exchanges.

The blade offers a good degree of flexibility, which aids in spin generation and provides a pleasant, elastic sensation during strokes. This flexibility helps absorb incoming pace and redirect it with controlled power and spin.

Vibration is a noted characteristic of this blade. Some players appreciate this feedback for enhanced ball control, while others may find it pronounced on harder shots. This aspect is subjective and can be influenced by rubber choice.

Crafted in Sweden, the Offensive Classic is renowned for its high build quality and durability. The traditional all-wood construction feels solid and reliable, with many users reporting the blade lasts for years even under intensive use, a testament to its excellent craftsmanship.
