Got a fake stiga clipper wood from Taobao

Ot Ot · Mar 11, 2017

Do you have similiar experience?
Bought a stiga clipper wood from taobao shop, today received the blade and the shape is not symmetrical.....
Asked for a refund and have to send back the blade to china !

Should buy the JTTAA version from japan shop iruiru...but it was like SGD$140 vs SGD$90 from taobao.

This one does not look fake and the shop should be reputable among taobao. Could be the plastic wrapping that is distorting the view. It is hard to tell the symmetrical problem from the picture. May be you can first check the serial online from the sticker for authenticity.

Hi TurboZ

Even it is real, the quality failed, it is a defect product.

Pls look at the new photo again for comparison.

I wish I can help further but it is still hard to tell from the picture as it is not exactly a square on top shot and somehow distort by the wrapping with logos. BTW I have just shot mine and I do have a feeling that it is not symmetrical as well.

Hope you can get your case solved.

If you compare the shape between Cpen and Shakehand then the blade face is surely different. The shakehand has a smaller face (151x157 mm) comparing to Cpen (151x161 mm) which is more squarish and longer.

Just a heads up, if you buy the blade together with rubber, you can ask the uncle give you discount or throw in free bat cover. Usually he will do it but must buy blade + rubber.

What about TT11

UpSideDownCarl · Mar 12, 2017

One thing you should know is that Stiga is notoriously bad with finishing touches on products. I've gotten rackets from them that had weird splintering at the edges. Ones where the logo in the lens was put in at an angle.

But then you do the finishing touches yourself by sanding, filing and sealing and they still play well.

It is almost like the guy making the blade left it on the work table a few moments before he was done and then forgot to do the finishing touches and they put it in the box without him realizing.

Hi Carl ,

i have checked the product code verification in the china stiga website.
it shown as genuine stiga blade.

Yea , I guess it is made in china not in Sweden.

Guess that's why the JTTAA version is more expensive for the quality check.

UpSideDownCarl · Mar 12, 2017

It does not matter where Stiga products come from. They are poor on the finishing details. And I think the Stiga products that are made for the Chinese market are made as well as the ones made for the European and USA markets. And regardless of which market it is from, I believe they are still made in Sweden. Stiga is well known, infamous, for being bad at finishing and quality control.

I used to rationalize and make excuses for how this is so consistently the case. Once you do the finishing touches yourself to fix their bungling, the blades play really nicely. But that doesn't change the fact that there is something not quite right with the fact that more than 75% of their blades have quality control or finishing detail issues.

Take it how you want. But it is a fact that Stiga is known for this.

Hi Juan,

Maybe help me ask what rubbers to use for beginner/intermediate trying to develop stroke for looping and RPB.

I just paste new rubber H8 (39 degree /2.1m / mid hard) for my FB and Mark V (2.0mm) for my BH

p/s: H8 (mid hard) seem heavy on my 92gram blade
