Hexagonal (Cybershape)

China

Stuor Hexagonal (Cybershape) is a table tennis blade featuring a unique, patent-pending hexagonal shape that optimizes the hitting area for better serves and returns. It offers an inner carbon construction that balances speed, control, and feel, delivering a modern playing experience at an accessible price point. This design provides a larger sweet spot and good feedback, making it a compelling option for intermediate players seeking the benefits of Cybershape technology without a premium cost.

7-Ply Construction

This 7-ply construction features an inner carbon layer sandwiched between wood plies. The inner-carbon design provides a softer feel and good dwell time compared to outer-carbon blades, while still offering increased speed and a larger sweet spot due to the carbon's presence.

Our expert analysis of this blade's performance characteristics

Speed
8.0

Stuor Hexagonal (Cybershape) offers good speed, faster than traditional all-wood blades but consistently noted as slower than premium inner carbon models like the Stiga Cybershape Carbon. This makes it well-suited for players who want a responsive blade that doesn't sacrifice control for extreme velocity, providing a balanced offensive tool.

Control
8.0

Players report excellent control with this blade, thanks to its slightly slower speed, inner-carbon construction, and enlarged sweet spot. The predictable ball response and good feel inspire confidence in short game situations and during rallies, making it a reliable choice for consistent play.

Feel
Medium-Hard
SoftMedium-HardHard

The blade delivers substantial vibration similar to an all-wood blade, providing clear feedback without being overly stiff. This medium-hard feel supports good dwell time, aiding in spin generation and controlled shots.

Throw Angle
Medium-High
LowMedium-HighHigh

The blade generally produces a medium-high to high throw angle, helping players lift the ball with a good trajectory, which is especially useful for attacking shots and spin-oriented play.

Dwell Time
8.0

Combining wood plies with an inner carbon layer results in good dwell time, allowing players to grip the ball effectively for spin. This characteristic is key to the blade's control and tactile response.

Flexibility
6.0

Stuor Hexagonal (Cybershape) sits in a medium to medium-hard flexibility range—not overly stiff but not particularly flexible. This contributes to its directness and speed while maintaining control.

Vibration
7.0

Vibration transmission is present and aids in feel and ball feedback, but it's generally not distracting. This level is often preferred by players who like to sense the ball's contact with the blade.

Quality
7.0

Manufacturing quality is well-regarded for its price point, offering solid construction and performance. However, it's not uncommon to encounter minor finishing imperfections that might benefit from light sanding of the edges or face for an optimal experience.

Technology

Stuor Hexagonal (Cybershape) employs an inner-carbon fiber construction, placing carbon layers closer to the blade's core. This technology aims for a softer feel and greater dwell time compared to outer-ply carbon blades, while still delivering increased speed and an enlarged sweet spot. The defining Cybershape design uses a patent-pending hexagonal head shape that optimizes the hitting area, particularly in the upper half where most players execute optimal strokes.
