    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    Despite being an inner carbon racket, it is highly praised for its outer-level speed and wide sweet spot. The end-heavy design enables easy follow-through and superior rotation, while proper rubber selection and hitting point mastery are essential for maximum performance.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Exceptional speed comparable to outer carbon rackets
    • Exceptionally wide sweet spot ensures stability
    • End-heavy design enables smooth swing and rotation
    • Significantly easier short-range techniques
    • Requires careful rubber selection and hitting technique practice
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveAlthough classified as inner carbon, the hitting feel is identical to outer carbon rackets. When striking the tip, it produces direct, high-speed balls. The large sweet spot makes control effortless—simply the best racket possible.
    ▽ CriticalThe speed is clearly inferior to outer rackets, so pairing with bouncy tension rubbers is recommended. The end-heavy design makes it feel 5-10g heavier, and the total weight becomes substantial after rubber attachment, making it better suited for powerful players.

      Pokonpokon Yusuke (Experience: 4〜5 years) Makes table tennis more fun

      Player reviews

      This is the blade shape I'd been curious about!
      Thanks to the wide sweet spot, I can now hit solid shots much more often.
      My defensive skills, like blocks and counters, have improved too.
      The weight leans a bit toward the tip, and I feel stable doing the short game as well.
      That said, since the rubber surface is bigger, the blade ends up a bit heavier overall, so it suits players with some power.
      I was worried about serving, but there's no discomfort there either, so I really love using it!

      It's a fresh feeling that's made table tennis even more fun.

    • Waiting for both pen hands

      Waiting for both pen hands (Experience: More than 20 years) A gem worth recommending to Japanese-penhold players too

      Player reviews

      Mine is the Chinese-penhold version, weighing 83g. As an inner blade, the bounce is great, but there's a condition to it — as other reviewers have said, the sweet spot sits toward the tip, so if you stay relaxed and catch the ball near the tip, you get a really high-quality shot, but if you tense up and hit near the grip, the ball comes out flat and dead, and the gap between the two was so severe that I struggled with it for a while. Since I was switching over from a square Japanese-style penhold, I reshaped the grip over and over until it fit with a shallower hold, and once I did, things like "the spin you get from a light flick near the tip" or "the difference in spin between long and short serves, or backspin versus no-spin, depending on where you make contact" became hard for opponents to read. It's been really useful in matches, and this has firmly become my ace blade.

      Pen drive type (Experience: Less than a year) The best

      Player reviews

      I have a hard rubber on my forehand and a soft rubber on my backhand. The spin is so-so, but the speed is fast. The ball just rockets off. Because the hitting surface is wide, the feel on the ball is good. It might be tough for beginners, but a wide range of players can use it. That said, it does stand out quite a bit.

      Be (Experience: 6〜10 years) A blade between inner and outer

      Player reviews

      The good point is that the sweet spot is wide, so you can hit stable shots on both forehand and backhand.

      The bad point is that the short game feels a bit off at first.
      Chiquita in particular needs practice, because if you do it with the feel of a normal blade, the corner tends to catch the table (though I think that's more on my own arm technique...).
      Also, since the weight is fairly biased toward the tip, the blade feels 5-10g heavier than its actual weight.
      Since I'm not a big fan of tip-heavy balance, I use a lighter rubber and stick 1g of power tape on each side of the blade near the grip. That brings the tip-heavy feel down to a level where it doesn't bother me.

      Lastly, this blade bounces more than a Butterfly inner ALC but less than a Butterfly outer ALC, so it's a perfect fit for anyone who found the outer ALC too bouncy to use.

      RW (Experience: 11〜20 years) A truly great blade

      Player reviews

      I used a Butterfly Gergely Carbon for about 10 years. After switching to the STIGA Cybershape Carbon, my ball control improved a lot. Placing the ball where I want is far easier now. Speed is a little lower compared to my old blade, but it's still enough of a power boost to throw a killer smash at my opponent. Overall, I'm happy using this STIGA Cybershape Carbon blade paired with a Dragon Grip rubber on the forehand and Victas Ventus Soft on the backhand.

      akami (Experience: 4〜5 years) Speed that feels like an outer blade

      Player reviews

      This is my first inner blade.

      It definitely flies on hard hits, but on soft touches it doesn't bounce all that much. Also, even though I don't have that much power, it still puts good spin on the ball for me. The weight is balanced toward the handle and the grip is slim, so it's easy to swing.

      What I personally found difficult were control, serving, and finding the right contact spot.

      As for control, I started out with Dignics 80 (max thickness), but couldn't handle it, so I switched to 09C (max thickness), and it became easier to control. With a bouncy rubber, stopping the ball short is especially difficult.

      As for serving and contact spot, personally, the bounce is different enough between the base and the tip of the blade that it almost feels like two different blades in one. The base barely bounces at all. I used to serve mostly near the base of the grip, but if you catch the ball thin there it just drops on the spot, and if you hit too thick near the tip, short serves become difficult. This is something that needs practice. For drives, I felt the sweet spot has more margin for error side to side than up and down.

      I'd really recommend this to people who want more bounce than wood gives, or people who never quite got along with outer blades. It also seems like preference varies a lot depending on how it feels in your hand, so if possible I think it's best to hold one in a shop before buying.

      Michael Tomioka (Experience: 11〜20 years) Definitely a god-tier blade

      Player reviews

      It's the blade used by Moregard, so first of all it just looks cool!
      I'm using it as my main blade now, and honestly the performance is definitely good, not just the looks.
