External Review for Stiga Inspira CCF on December 7, 2024

I bought this racket stand knowing that it was one of the "best" racket stands from Stiga - "top quality". When I took it out of the package, I could already see that this racket stand was not top quality. The handle was uncomfortable when I picked it up. The edges of the wood near the neck of the racket stand are untreated, which means they are very sharp! The metal logo on the handle is unevenly installed.
Basically, you have to start sanding the racket stand itself to make it more comfortable from the handle. It was not possible to do the first training with this racket stand, because it was not possible to hold it in your hand!
What makes this racket stand so expensive? I don't understand it.
I will add to this comment when I have had enough time to train with this racket stand. Today I am very disappointed with the quality of StigaI have been playing with this racket for two weeks and now I can give it some initial assessment. It is very good to play with this racket, the feel is quite good, the speed on this racket is fast enough for my level of play and the control is just as much as needed. What is particularly surprising is that if you play technically correctly, then a special sound comes out of this racket.
I use Xiom Omega VII Pro (max) under the forehand and Xiom Jekyll & Hyde C55.0 (max) under the backhand. My personal opinion is that these rubbers suit my level of play best.
Finally, I have found a very good playing tool that I feel sincere joy and pleasure from.

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....
