Stiga Cybershape 18K Gen 2 is a control racket for advanced players who want to steer the ball rather than hit it hard. The racket combines precision and stability with the soft, controlled feel that characterises the 18K series.

The 18K Carbon Duplex hitting surface consists of tightly woven carbon fibres that provide stability and response. Together with the Hypersoft Foam core, you get a soft impact with a clear feel for the ball, making it easier to control placement, direction and pace. This gives you a good foundation for keeping errors down and being hard to win points against, and the racket still has enough response when you want to hit harder.

The Cybershape design gives a sweetspot that is 20% larger than on traditional round rackets and positioned higher up, where many of the key shots meet the ball. The 360 Carbon Frame is made from 100% carbon fibre and gives stability throughout the racket.

What Gen 2 brings

The second generation builds on what players appreciate about Cybershape and on their input for improvements. The shape has softer corners and rounder transitions, and the most exposed areas of the racket have been reinforced. The throat has been redesigned for better ergonomics and more room for a two-handed grip.

The 18K series in Gen 2

18K Gen 2 is the control model of the series, with Hypersoft Foam and a neutral balance. 18K LW Gen 2 has the same hitting surface, but weighs 345 grams and is quicker to manoeuvre. 18K Hard Gen 2 has a stiff construction and high balance for offensive players, and 18K X Hard Gen 2 has an extra-hard core and is the most uncompromising model in the series.

Weight: 360 g (±10 g)
Balance: Medium
