About Cybershape

Who says that all padel rackets must be round? No one. That’s why we decided to go against the tide – we went to the lab and tested, measured, and tested again. The result is Cybershape, the hexagonal racket-head design that will take your game to new heights. Here are just a few of the advantages of the Cybershape design.

Backed by science

At STIGA Sports, we work continuously to stretch the innovation and performance envelope when we develop new products. For us, it’s a natural part of the process to blaze new trails. We teamed with Sweden’s Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) to perform wind-tunnel tests on Cybershape – tests that are normally reserved for the airspace industry – to ensure the very highest quality and technology in the products we offer to our customers. This collaboration allows us to scientifically validate the aerodynamic superiority of the Cybershape design. Combined with an optimized composition of materials, this creates a very powerful racket that helps you create more speed, naturally and in every shot.

Unparallelled power transfer with 12 % less air resistance

In cooperation with Sweden’s Royal Institute of Technology, STIGA Sports studied a comparison of round and Cybershape-design rackets. The tests show that the Cybershape design increases power transfer. Combined with an optimized composition of materials, this creates a very powerful racket that helps you create more speed, naturally and in every shot. In the wind-tunnel tests with KTH, the Cybershape racket consistently performed well, with up to 12 % less air resistance compared to traditionally shaped rackets. This offers a completely new experience in play, with more dynamics and range of motion. It’s a racket designed to cut moreeffectively through the air.

20% larger and maximized sweet spot higher on the racket

The hexagonal head offers a larger optimized hitting surface that’s located higher up on the racket, when compared to traditional designs. With this sweet spot that’s both higher and extended further out, you can hit more stable shots without sacrificing control. In other words, this unique shape is not just a matter of looks – it gives the player a maximally optimized hitting surface (with an amazing 20 % larger sweet spot than in round racket heads), which is a specific advantage that can’t be achieved with traditionally shaped rackets.

Exceptional acceleration and control

The Cybershape form factor delivers incredible acceleration. When you hit the ball harder and faster, it gives you enormous power in your shot, while also delivering a sense of total control. It’s quite simply a totally new feeling on the court, with softer swings and faster reaction. We think this combination of speed and control is a unique characteristic of the Cybershape racket.

Play closer to the ground and the glass

The Cybershape advantages don’t stop with the larger sweet spot; this racket gives you the opportunity to develop your game. Thanks to the racket-edge design, you can bring your racket significantly closer to the ground and the glass. The lines of the racket align with the court, giving this racket a clear advantage over a round racket when you work on improving your game.
