The Stiga i1 Hybrid Carbon Cybershape was developed with one clear objective:
to let you feel the ball, even when the pace is high.
This is Stiga refers to as their STIGA Feel. A direct, natural connection between player and ball that creates confidence in every stroke – not by making the blade soft or slow, but by controlling vibration, feedback, and response with precision.
The fiber of the I1 Hybrid Carbon is not pure carbon. It is a hybrid composite developed to improve dwell time, vibration control, and overall playing feel compared to traditional carbon blades. At the core of the construction is a thin hybrid layer of Innegra™ and carbon fiber. In pure carbon blades, certain vibrations can feel sharp and difficult to control. Innegra™ selectively dampens these unwanted vibrations, while carbon provides stability and support for offensive play. Together, they deliver a clean, predictable, and consistent ball contact, stroke after stroke.
The hybrid fiber layer is positioned directly beneath the outer veneer to influence ball feel where it matters most. The result is clear, balanced feedback in both forehand and backhand shots, even when you’re playing close to the table and under pressure.
The Cybershape design, with a larger sweet spot, further enhances the playing feel built on confidence, speed, and control. From the very first ball contact, the blade offers instant trust, allowing you to play aggressively while maintaining precision. It’s this freedom that turns confident strokes into more winning points.
Hybrid Carbon reinforced with Innegra™:
* Softer feel with fewer unwanted vibrations
* Improved control without sacrificing speed
* Faster than all-wood blades
* Softer and more forgiving than pure carbon blades
