STIGA New cybershape: CYBERSHAPE WAVY

[Saiph]

I dit it on my youtube channel :

Ah, that is you? I'm interested in the blade, but not many reviews are out there yet. Watched your video before, thank you very much for the review!

I dont understand most of the reviews to be honest. Maybe I got a bad one.

It plays like a thick wooden blade but nothing special in that regard. The main reason I got it is that I like the handles and wings on Cybershapes, but I don't find this blade forgiving, you need to catch the ball in the sweet spot to get a good result, so most players will find it underwhelming compared to carbon for producing quick shots. As a fan of the Mazunov, this would be a lighter replacement of that kind of blade. But I dont get or see the faster than Viscaria or as fast as carbon comments. But again, maybe I just have a bad one or did a bad glue job.

This blade reminds me Revoldia CNF which is ironic.

Did you put 09C on? Wavy is pretty thick and stiff and I found it better with D80. Felt a bit clunky to me with 09C

I actually thought it was decent with 09c. When I put on the 80, I had so many shots where I felt I hit the ball decently but the ball did not go. 80 is my main rubber and I Want to commit to the Cybershape but a bit disappointed with the consistency of grab and go.

I kind of feel the same way, when playing with the Wavy I often feel as though my shots don't really grab/spit out the ball. The blade just doesn't really eat the ball well even with Hurricane. The speed I mainly felt through the blade resisting flexing under impact rather than the blade flexing and snapping like a conventional Viscaria structure. It doesn't feel too hard but I think it would feel and play better were it either thinner or softer. I prefer the Aura by far but I also think it is noticeably sensitive to blade angle on impact compared to outer fiber blades

Aura is outside my budget unfortunately. An ALC Cybershape would be awesome but Stiga is allergic to ALC so...

I have Aura without cybershape and I think....
One of the best inner alc blade ever but it is fast.

 

[RajaLoopah]

Is someone WHO can review the blade?

I recently received the blade a few days ago and put Zyre-03 and Dignics 09C because it is one sale.
My first impressions are:
clear feedback
definitely not the fastest stiga blade
blocks are nice

will update with a full review soon after a week or so

 

[Doralikesmath]

I have the cybershape one. It's not as fast as Stiga claims, a bit thick, good feedback, but that's it. There is nothing special about this blade for me, honestly.

 

[Airoc]

Maybe this blade behaves very differently with different weights or I´ve had one that was outside the norm (did have "normal" version, but that shouldn´t be the point) or I used Monday rubbers or whatever, but:
My Wavy weighed 92 grams and was indeed very fast, also stiff and one of the dullest blades I tried in a long time. No feeling, only speed. By comparison, any BTY ALC blade of the same weight would be a pleasure to play.
But then also people and what they like are so different.

 

[andzejgolot]

I have yasaka Sweden extra which is all+ blade and I found my batch is super fast....IT plays like OFF+ blade that's why I understand differences.

how is Harimoto SZLC in your budget?

how is Harimoto SZLC in your budget?

Budget combines price and intention. Aura there is no intention and it isn't cheap enough to just buy to test. Harimoto SZLC I have played with quite a bit and I can re-sell if I don't like it. I also get Butterfly at discount.

Hello NextLevel, it's been a long time! How does SZLC compare to SALC, I haven't tried those materials yet

They are definitely upgrades in speed, and for the Harimoto, they definitely help.
