PLAYING STYLE: Offensive Spin
Sean’s Setup: The Pure Cybershape CWT brings the legendary STIGA feel I’ve trusted my entire career into a modern, balanced design. The Custom Weight Technology allows me to fine-tune my setup for perfect stability and touch. I pair it with DNA Helix Platinum H on both sides for explosive third-ball attacks and a
crisp, direct feel in every rally.
THE BLADE: The Stiga Pure Cybershape CWT blade offers the best of offensive strategy and complete control – the optimal combination for players eager to drive the tempo of the game. Pure matches power and precision in a completely new way. It’s designed specifically for players who want the best possible performance. The blade is constructed with seven layers of carefully selected wood, which results in explosive power and consistent results in play. This construction improves the balance of speed and control, so you can make powerful shots with exceptional precision. With a well-designed weight distribution, this blade offers fantastic control, making it ideal for rapid exchanges and dynamic play.
Thanks to the unique Cybershape design, the Pure Cybershape CWT gives you a larger optimized impact surface in the upper half of the blade compared to traditional blades. The increased sweet spot, located higher up on the blade, offers optimal impact and stability. With STIGA Custom Weight Technology, you can adapt the weight and balance of your bat with 3-, 6-, and 9-gram weights that easily attach to a magnet in the bottom of the grip. This makes it possible for you to personalize your bat and find the perfect characteristics for your playing needs. Stiga Pure’s minimalistic, Scandinavian design is free from printing and dyed materials, which also makes this blade a little easier on the environment.
BLACK & RED RUBBER: A little more of everything. More speed, more control, and more spin. STIGA Helix Platinum is a world-class table tennis rubber for offensive players who want it all. With a unique sponge construction that delivers up to 11 % more energy return when you make more powerful shots – without exerting more effort.
Helix Platinum is built on the Optimized Energy Sponge – a technology that delivers maximal response thanks to the small pores in the sponge. Without losing feel in play. This rubber also gives you a higher arc and more elasticity, ensuring greater confidence in every duel. The extra-hard sponge (55 degrees) is ideal for those who want maximum performance in play. This is a premium rubber for players who seek to take control in every point. Developed in Sweden, made in Germany, and designed for world-class players.
