Stiga Carbon Soft Touch

Fast feel in play, but with full control. When the tempo increases, you need the right paddle to keep up.

Stiga Carbon Soft Touch is made for offensive players who want a light, fast blade with a softer feel and strong control close to the table. Its lightweight balsa core gives the blade a comfortable touch on contact. A thin carbon layer adds speed and stability, helping the blade stay solid during quick exchanges, blocks, counters, and short-stroke attacks.

The classic round shape gives players a familiar feel in the hand. The light weight also helps with faster recovery between forehand and backhand, especially in close-to-the-table rallies where timing matters.

QUICK TAKE:
Carbon Soft Touch is a good fit for players who use compact strokes, quick counters, controlled blocks, and fast transitions. You get speed when the pace increases, but the soft feel keeps the blade manageable.

Best For...
Offensive players who want a lightweight blade with soft touch, carbon stability, and quick close-table control.

Playing Style...
Close-to-table offense, quick counters, controlled blocking, short-stroke attacks, fast forehand-backhand transitions.

Blade Feel...
Light, soft, stable, and quick with a comfortable balsa-carbon contact.

Rubber Pairing Advice...
Pair Carbon Soft Touch with medium or medium-hard offensive rubbers for a balanced setup. Softer rubbers make the blade easier to control, while firmer rubbers add more finishing power for advanced close-table attackers.

Who Should Avoid It...
Players who want a heavy, stiff power blade for long-distance counterlooping may prefer a faster carbon blade. Players who rely on heavy spin from deep court may want a blade with more dwell and weight.
