Stiga Celero Wood Thoughts

Николай Петров · Dec 27, 2020

I was looking at blades recently to upgrade my stiga allround classic with something offensive but still have great feeling and control while also being faster and offensive and I came across this blade Stiga Celero wood that blade seems too good to be true almost as fast as clipper and having great feeling and elasticity how is that possible to be so flex and have such speed every blade that I see around that speed range is getting kinda stiff for a beginner to intermediate player like me what are your guys thoughts?And also the blade seems to be not so popular on the equipment websites and not soo purchased why is that?

I would rather suggest offensive classic cr than celero for better control.

Very good analysis thanks the graph they show is no where near the analysis that revspin shows on these blades I don’t know how revspin do their reviews

The Arctic Wood felt surprisingly good to me; more so than the Celero.

I absolutely loved my ‘Offensive Wood’ (with the Kjell Johansson handle), but me and the Offensive Classic did not click.

If you want the next step up in speed from Stiga but with plenty control still, these 3 blades will do: Azalea Allround, Allround Evolution and Offensive Classic.

BTW, Arctic wood which was tested alongside Celero wood, was one of the very few that was close too Hurricane Long V in terms of ball hold in ttgearlab tests.

I would reccomend this setup.

Blade: Stiga Offensive classic Master flare (though i never tried allround classic, I like the slightly firm feel of offensive classic with the spruce below the top limba layer. it provides great control for me)
fh rubber: stick with the h3 neo
bh rubber: rakza 7

that way your rubbers are the same, but the blade is slightly faster, but if you are ok using carbon:

ovtcharov true carbon(RECOMMENDED!!!!), tb alc, or viscaria

thomas.pong · Dec 28, 2020

Stick to the same rubbers you are using now and do not switch to a carbon blade, you will loose a ton of feel and control and it will be way too fast.

At least with the oc cr blade, you willl not have much adjustments to be made.

Николай Петров · Dec 28, 2020

Yeah thanks for the suggestions guys I might try yogi bears suggestion for a blade seems logical to upgrade that way later I might to faster rubbers but that is still too early

Stiga Azalea Offensive is similar to Offensive Classic. Very nice blade. Select your preferred weight. Can be over 90g but I prefer about 86g.

Celero is good.

I used it for several months. Mine was hard enough and had plenty of control. Paird it with Rakza 7 at the time, and it was rewarding to do steady forehand topspin.

Do not use 45 degree rubbers on it, or it will feel too soft/slow. I had EL-S on BH, and it was just too soft too slow. Go with any mainstream 47 degree rubber.

This also but the Azalea off us slightly more bouncy.

Why the 'CR'? Care to elaborate?
