Wavy Ultra Fiber Cybershape
Stiga Wavy Ultra Fiber Cybershape is a cutting-edge offensive blade engineered for players seeking maximum speed and aggressive play. It features a unique 7-layer construction, combining five layers of high-quality wood with two layers of innovative 'ultra fiber' material positioned directly beneath the outer ply. This construction enhances stiffness while reducing unwanted vibrations, resulting in explosive speed, improved control, and consistent ball impact. The distinctive Cybershape head design further optimizes the hitting area, creating a larger sweet spot higher on the blade for enhanced precision and stability. The blade produces a clear, crisp sound on impact, providing satisfying acoustic feedback for offensive players. Made in Sweden, it is designed to elevate the game of ambitious juniors to elite-level offensive players.
The blade features a 7-layer construction with five wood plies and two outer layers of 'ultra fiber' positioned directly beneath the Koto outer wood plies. This configuration is designed to increase stiffness for speed while the ultra fiber material dampens vibrations and enhances ball contact for precision and control.

✦Our expert analysis of this blade's performance characteristics
Stiga Wavy Ultra Fiber Cybershape is consistently described as one of Stiga's fastest blades ever, engineered for explosive attacks and high-speed play. The ultra fiber material contributes significantly to its speed, providing a stiff yet responsive feel that allows for rapid shots and aggressive play.
While primarily a speed-oriented blade, Wavy Ultra Fiber Cybershape offers a respectable level of control, attributed to the ultra fiber material's ability to minimize vibrations and the optimized sweet spot of the Cybershape design. This allows offensive players to maintain precision during fast exchanges.
The ultra fiber material provides a crisp and direct ball contact, minimizing unwanted vibrations. While some players describe it as having a 'harder' feel in comparison to other blades, the overall sensation is often described as responsive and providing good feedback.
Given its classification as an OFF+ blade and its emphasis on speed, Wavy Ultra Fiber Cybershape likely produces a medium-high throw angle, facilitating powerful topspin shots.
The blade's emphasis on speed and stiffness suggests a medium dwell time. While the ultra fiber contributes to a direct impact, the wood plies likely provide enough dwell for spin generation, especially when paired with modern rubbers.
The ultra fiber layers increase the blade's stiffness, contributing to its high speed. However, the combination with wood plies suggests it's not overly stiff, maintaining a degree of flexibility for feel and spin.
A key feature of the ultra fiber material is its ability to significantly reduce unwanted vibrations, leading to cleaner ball contact and improved control.
TTSensei experts note a high-quality construction and finish for this blade, with particular praise for the handle and wood finish. The use of premium materials and innovative technology suggests excellent build quality.
Technology
Stiga Wavy Ultra Fiber Cybershape incorporates Stiga's innovative 'ultra fiber' technology. This is a new material that increases blade stiffness while simultaneously reducing unwanted vibrations, thereby enhancing power, control, and ball impact consistency. Positioned just below the outer wood ply, this material contributes to a larger sweet spot, a crisper ball contact, and a distinctive hitting sound. The blade also features the unique Cybershape head design, which re-engineers the hitting area for improved precision and stability, particularly in the upper portion of the blade.

Stiga Cybershape Carbon
Stiga Cybershape Carbon is an alternative blade within Stiga's Cybershape line. It shares the same innovative head shape and is also known for its high speed and offensive capabilities, being the model used by Truls Möregårdh. While the Wavy Ultra Fiber uses 'ultra fiber' technology for its composite layer, the Cybershape Carbon utilizes woven carbon fiber, potentially offering a slightly different feel and speed profile, though both are positioned as top-tier offensive blades.
Butterfly Viscaria
Butterfly Viscaria is a highly popular and well-regarded offensive blade that shares a similar classification as a fast, offensive option. While the Viscaria is a 5-ply blade with Arylate-Carbon (ALC) material, Stiga Wavy Ultra Fiber Cybershape employs its unique ultra fiber and 7-ply construction. Both blades are favored by offensive players seeking speed and power, though they differ in material composition and specific design elements.
