Pure Cybershape
Stiga Pure Cybershape is an offensive blade designed for players who demand a perfect marriage of power and precision. Its revolutionary hexagonal Cybershape design redefines the hitting surface, creating a larger, higher-placed sweet spot that enhances impact and stability for more consistent, forgiving shots. Crafted from seven layers of pure wood in Sweden, it delivers a balanced blend of speed and control, enabling aggressive play without sacrificing accuracy. The minimalist Scandinavian aesthetic underscores its commitment to sustainability, using eco-friendly materials free from dyes or prints. This blade represents a thoughtful fusion of innovative geometry and traditional craftsmanship, offering a responsive, superior feel that elevates performance.
The blade uses a symmetrical 7-ply all-wood construction. Koto forms the crisp outer layers, followed by Ayous, a central composite fiber (CCF) layer, a Kiri wood core, and then mirrored back out. This stack is designed to balance power from the outer plies with dwell time and vibration dampening from the inner layers, creating a solid yet responsive feel.

✦Our expert analysis of this blade's performance characteristics
With a speed rating of 8.7, the Pure Cybershape sits firmly in the offensive category, providing ample power for dictating play. Our testing shows it delivers a potent blend of acceleration and stability, though some players note it feels slightly more controlled than other high-speed Cybershape variants. The 7-ply all-wood construction is engineered to balance raw power with manageable pace, making it ideal for players who want to attack aggressively while maintaining a strong tactical foundation.
The Pure Cybershape excels in giving you exceptional command over the ball. You get outstanding precision for placement, controlled blocks, and spin-oriented shots, making it a highly attractive option for offensive players who value consistency and tactical nuance. The blade's design and construction work together to provide a stable, predictable response that builds confidence during fast exchanges and delicate touches alike.
The Pure Cybershape delivers a medium feel that players describe as outstandingly natural and communicative. It provides clear, consistent feedback that aids immensely in spin generation and precise placement. Compared to denser all-wood blades, many players find it produces a more noticeable and consistent arc with a touch that feels direct yet forgiving, contributing to its reputation for extreme control.
The blade typically produces a medium-high throw angle, which is ideal for aggressive, looping play. This allows for powerful shots with good net clearance and depth, while the inherent control helps keep the arc consistent and manageable. The combination of its speed and dwell time naturally facilitates these effective, arcing attacks.
Our testing shows the Pure Cybershape offers very good dwell time, allowing the rubber ample contact to grip and impart spin on the ball. This characteristic is a key contributor to its excellent control and spin-generation capabilities. The 7-ply wood construction, particularly the selection of outer and inner layers, is designed to provide that crucial moment of ball retention for tactical play.
The Pure Cybershape exhibits a medium level of flexibility, striking a balance between power and control. This flex allows the blade to absorb impact effectively for spin generation while retaining enough stiffness to translate energy efficiently into powerful offensive strokes. The 7-ply wood construction is precisely calibrated to deliver this versatile, balanced flex profile.
This blade is characterized by very low vibration, which significantly enhances its feel and control. Players report a soft, direct touch with minimal harshness or buzz, allowing for clean feedback from ball contact. This low-vibration profile makes it especially comfortable for close-to-table play, blocking, and touch shots, where stability and clarity are paramount.
Manufactured with precision in Sweden, the Pure Cybershape earns top marks for its exceptional build quality and craftsmanship. TTSensei experts consistently praise its excellent feel, careful material selection, and durable construction. The unique Cybershape design is executed flawlessly, and the minimalist, eco-friendly finish reflects a high level of attention to detail. This is a blade built to last while delivering a premium playing experience.
Technology
The core innovation is Stiga's patented Cybershape technology—a hexagonal blade design developed through extensive research. This geometry optimizes the hitting surface by making it larger and strategically relocating the sweet spot higher on the blade. The result is improved impact, greater stability, and a more forgiving feel. Complementing this is a commitment to sustainability via a minimalist Scandinavian design, eschewing prints and dyes, and manufacturing in Stiga's high-precision facility in Eskilstuna, Sweden, renowned for producing blades for world-class athletes.

Stiga Cybershape Wood
The Stiga Cybershape Wood is the most direct alternative within the same family. It shares the innovative hexagonal shape but uses a 5-ply all-wood construction instead of 7. Many players find the Cybershape Wood offers excellent control and feel, making it a fantastic choice for developing players or those prioritizing spin. TTSensei experts note that the Pure version often provides a slightly more solid feel and more pronounced arc production, which may appeal to players seeking a bit more foundational power and stability from their offensive blade.
