Stiga is a Swedish brand from Eskilstuna, known for table tennis since 1944. In padel it has a small range, and on padell.io it is one of the priciest brands.
Most models use Cybershape, Stiga's own head shape. The 18K series is the core of the range. It comes as a standard version, a Hard version with a firmer core and a lighter LW version. Adam Axelsson and Amanda Girdo have their own editions. ACE and Airy are round rackets built for control.
Stiga numbers its generations (18K 2, ACE 3) instead of putting a year in the name. Check the racket page to see which generation a shop is selling.
