Stiga Inspira CCF is a fast, stable blade that gives you control over your returns
Stiga Inspira CCF is a carbon fiber blade that combines the speed and stability offered by carbon fiber with the superior control offered by wood. This offensive table tennis blade consists of 5 layers of wood and 2 layers of carbon fiber, commonly known as a 5+2-ply blade.
The blade is designed with CCF (Close Core Fiber) technology, which means that the carbon fibre layer sits directly on top of the wood core. The result is more control and speed in your game. This technology offers some great advantages in the return serve through extended ball contact and improved feeling, which can be crucial in challenging situations.
An advanced technique with high temperatures is used to convert the raw carbon fiber into a graphite-like material that is extra strong and rigid, which results in more speed and a larger sweetspot. The outer veneer in koto has undergone a unique surface treatment which, together with the CCF technology, gives you increased dwell time.
• A fast, offensive table tennis blade with CCF (Close Core Fiber) technology.
• A carbon fiber layer on the wood core for a softer touch and greater control.
• A blade that gives you improved feeling and longer ball contact in your returns.
• The perfect combination of carbon fiber and wood for a stable blade with a larger sweetspot.
• Developed in collaboration with top Swedish and Chinese players.

Reviews of Stiga Inspira CCF - Chinese Penhold (4)
Honestly, I don't really know how I feel about this blade. This was my first ever carbon blade paired with T05 2.1 mm on FH and T64 1.9mm on BH. In the beginning, it felt like a really good blade. Eventually, I started noticing I had to concentrate on my ball placement in the short game a lot more and I really had to dose the power in my stoke when counter spinning away from the table, otherwise it would just shoot out. It has decent control, but not a lot more than say for example a Butterfly Timo Boll ALC (played with my friend's TB ALC for a couple of times). After this, I switched to the Cybershape wood, which obviously has even more control, but loses out on a lot of speed. If you are thinking about getting this blade, I would suggest that you need sufficient technique for using this since for even an innerforce style blade, it is quite fast. And if you do so, pair it with rubbers which are not too fast. This of course if you are not already a top-class player, then you can do whatever you want with this.
This is really interesting blade, designed for professionals, but what's interesting , the blade has so much control that even young prospective players will play very successfully with this blade, and the blade doesn't need to be changed anymore. I have tried several blades with similar structure ( carbon inner and KOTO outer), but none was as comprehensive as this blade. Some were similar, but other than the OSP Vario +AC blade, none were this controllable. The Stiga Cybershape blade is similar ... only it is faster with less control. But I'd still say the Inspira CCF is the Cybershape for those who want a Cybershape but aren't suitable with this Cyber-Shape.
I like it. After 10 hours practice with this blade, finally I know what I want. Suitable for mid distance to long distance plays. Stable when close to table play. Looping is what I find interesting with this blade. Nice curve and consistent.
I think Stiga has finally catches up with Nittaku and Butterfly for high end blades competition. Inspira CCF is a masterpiece. Very good blade with hugh sweet spot. To test it, I played for 10 hours with Rakza 7 on FH and Mantra M on BH. Great feeling, great curve, great power. The optimum distance is around 1-2 meter from the table. Worth to have....
