The Cybershape Blade review is here! What do you think of this new shape? Have you tried it yet? Massive shout out to Truls for his time, what a guy! Be sure to LIKE and SUBSCRIBE for more 🔥
I don't think it's a good marketing idea to keep saying 'it's not that different from a normal blade'... Well, if it's not all that different, why bother ordering it or why spend so much money on it?:)) Being and feeling different is are negative attributes. The idea behind it was to feel somewhat different, to get a fresh feeling. It kinda takes the wind out of the sails.
Hey dan it's me Ryan,how r u oh can I maybe get ur number I'm only getting to become a bigger fan more and more I watched u and great play 😄 Keep on pongin.
It's only a straight-edged version of an egg-profile shape Dunlop marketed ~ fifty years ago. A bit of flare at the sweet-spot distance. If there were an advantage to the actual straight-edge configuration, you'd have seen it ubiquitously in tennis and badminton racquets long ago.
@@-danR well yes and no. You can make an argument that the straight edge gives you a a slight edge over the table (pun intended), an area inexistent in tennis or badminton.
Great review guys!🏆 I think the only drawback to this blade becoming popular with top players is the lack of dwell time. Otherwise I think this blade could help the other 99% of players in the world 😁
Congratulations to Truls Morgard on winning silver medal at the world championship. I would rather give more credits to his creative, authentic , unique playing style for his victories. In nutshell, he has superior FH shots, outstanding short ball control, hurricane BH shots and so dare to fight spirits. Dan, this video made my Friday night very delightful. Thumbs up from USA.
Hey Edward glad you enjoyed it 👊🔥 I honestly couldn't agree more the way he plays is incredible, so fun to watch as you don't know what you're going to get aha. Have a good weekend 🏓
I play the cybershape at my lower amateur league level basically for one reason only: It gets me in the head of my opponent even before i played the first ball. They are all so curious and think more about thr blade than their own game. But beside the unusual shape, it is a good blade
Thanks for the great video! I just started using the Cybershape blade with Stiga Dragon Grip. AMAZING!!! I feel that even lower level players can use this blade with good control.
Tl;dr: "This blade is so amazing, huge, wow, next generation! Look, we also have a professional player here. Sponsered by Stiga you say? Nah, that's just coincidence. He's going to give an honest review, lol. Next time, we have Timo Boll in the show talking about Butterfly products."
6.15 to 6.54. This is the big marketing opportunity for STIGA.As Dan says very interesting at the end. Truls says he is using the defined heptagonal corners of the blade as a guide to get the right angle on backhand shots and make adjustment. With a. Standard round curve blade you do not have such an obvious physically visible reference.[unless you make some mark on the bat].I would not be surprised if STIGA marketed a slower blade CYBERSHAPE in the future. Originally the word Cyber from Cybernetics, meant Steersman, so this control feature is quite apt.
You can just saw off a bit of a regular blade. Modifying a blade was always allowed. Where's the problem? Why did nobody do this so far, if this is needed so bad?
It has been done with tennis rackets as well. Radek Stepanek and Ivan Lendl used to play with 10-sided Bosworth rackets. I don't think we will see a lot of people playing with these in the future. Combined with a different colored rubber this will definitely be an eyecatcher and throw off many opponents.
Well. Let me put it like this - Truls, ranked 77 in the world, basically a "nobody" changed to STIGA Cybershape and reached the final of the World Championships with it. I think its safe to say that this blade increase your performance by a mile! SO excited for this and will order it as soon as it's available in my country.
Thank you for yet another great review which persuaded me to buy the blade. Unique feeling. I knew it was going to be good for me before I even tried it, because of the shape. It really helps to get a more accurate feeling of angles and position of the blade vs the ball at contact time. If you are like me you will like it. Well done Stiga for the innovation.
Thanks for the review Dan. One definite advantage - would be a lot easier to achieve a clean cut when sticking the rubbers on top of this! Something I struggle with quite a lot. 😅 What rubbers did you use with this by the way?
I enjoyed the review, many thanks, but what rubbers are you Both using, and did they play any part in the feel of the blade? How do they compare to some of Butterfly's outrageously expensive top blades, and what is the retail price?
The bigggest questions for the table tennis players around the world now are not about developing high tech blade. But how They are able to beat CNT players.
After watching some of the TTD rubber reviews, stats wise Tenergy 05 is just better in almost every way to the Stiga DNA Platinum XH - would Tenergy 05 suit this blade then?
Hey! I changed to cybershape half a year ago. First, I put Tenergy 80 on backhand and Dignics 80 to forehand. I loved it; it gave a superb control to the backhand and almost ridiculous catapult to the forehand. With just a bit of movement, my forehand counterspins went like cannonballs. Now, I put up the Dignics 09c to the forehand and kept the Dignics 80 but use it on the backhand. I think this is the real deal. I'm in love. If you are an offensive player, I recommend the Dignics series on this blade. The hardest is to adjust to the service and receive game. Needs a lot of adjustments, particularly in the fine touches. I try to attack more short balls, and I think that's good for my game. For sure, if you change to this blade, you have to be open to changing your game.
Hi Dan thanks for the review is Cybershape faster or slower than the Nittaku Acoustic Inner ? I didn’t understand quite well even with slow motion how Truls imparted backspin on his BH smash / counter ? Can you explain ?
What a review Dan! Very gooj job guys;-) I have a question, can you tell me more about punches and active block (or what was that shoot you played 😅), it seems so easy and direct! Especially from Bh. Thanks:)
I am wondering how it would be like to play with a more flexible blade and harder rubber that is more consistent than the soft rubbers that certainly must wear out quickly.
Truls only had a couple of months (or only one) to get used to this blade before the world cup too. Is what I heard atleast. Such a hope for the future! Amazing tournament by him! Is it that "easy" to acclimatize to this one? Great content!
Great review Dan. I 'm playing with it for almost 1 month and I love it. I'm a Penhold Left Handed player, and the control is great. You should check my review too 😉😄🏓. Regards from USA 🇺🇸
@@VictorMoraga Good luck! I cant imagine how it would to learn penhold haha. Im just 14 trying to become better at my this sport Im almost top 100 boys under 15 in norway so its really fun :)
Hi Dan, I have placed an order of the cybershape! I am currently using the Butterfly MJ super ZLC that you have reviewed before. How would you compare these two blades.
depending on how beginner you are... you cant go wrong with an 5-play all wood blade... all, all+, off- ... like stiga allround evolution... and controllable rubbers... rozena might be even too fast... maybe a nittaku fastarc c1... dont start with very fast carbon blades and the power-rubbers the pros use... it might ruin your movement as those are so quick that you might not learn the proper technique to "pull through" the ball. start slow and after some months you can try quicker rubbers. after one or two years you migth be advanced enough to decide yourself if you might want to try a faster blade
you said it is slower than Boll ALC... which isnt difficult for an innerlayer-blade. What blade does it compare too that you played already? Is it more like an Innerforce Layer ALC, an Harimoto ALC or an Ovtcharov No1 Senso or a Freitas? ...or something else in sense of feel in the hand and hold in vs kick out of the racket?
Happy to see a new blade shape design. With the larger head/sweet spot concept I believe manufactures will adjust the elliptical shape be more head heavy. The cybershape is just too odd looking for acceptance.
its crazy seeing this cuz i was designing a paddle like this (but not as pronounced) in 2019 but never actually did it.. i got the idea from my favorite tennis racket brand, yonex
@@alexanderdickens2517 thats what I concluded with as well. I am looking at nittaku acoustic, but there are almost no reviews on it on youtube. I have been playing with stiga offensive classic for just about 5 months now ... some people say that getting nittaku acoustic now wont be a problem, but I am holding off on it. Maybe after a half year more I will be ready to get a real professional blade. What do you think? You can see how poorly I play on my channel ;D ... I have only played table tennis for 6 months. The fast blades opens the possibility to punch the ball with a flat backhand aggressively, which is also a very important skill to develop. I wonder if having both a fast blade and a slow blade will help development better.
Everyone saying its weird shape. But doesnt the japanese have a penhold shape thats actually very similar to this shape? Just rounded corners but same general shape

I love how Dan mentioned that the reason for Truls reaching the WC final is the training with him :)
Muhaha I gave him that extra 0.00001% 🤣🤣🤣
@@TableTennisDaily You where the main reason he beat timo😯
Truls must have three different serves!
All the world know his one!
Good to see a different blade instead of all the “new” blades which are viscaria with a different handle
Couldnt agree more👍
I'm waiting to buy a viscaria with the cybershape🤣

EXACTLY! Love this! Such a unique take on TT. This is how you reinvent Table Tennis. Thank you STIGA. no one has done more than you!

Thanks to Moregard for helping prove the concept.
Good interview with Trols. Seems like a solid kid. Way more humble than I expected.
Hey Dan. Would like to see a Stiga DNA DragonGrip review. Keep up the good work.
Incredibly satisfying hit from Truls. The only forward pushing backhand.
Always a good day when they upload 🙃
🙌🙌🙌
💯
Nice review, well done Dan. You're looking sharp around the table as well - good to see. Pushing for selection in your next TTD match I'd say!
Thanks aha! Been working hard, just need the Gaffer to select me now 😁

I played a lefty with this blade and a green rubber. I didn't notice any distraction
Nice review by the sound of it, it's like an innerforce with an larger sweetspot.
That backspin punch reminds me of the chairman 🤣🤣 he might like this blade 🔥
I was waiting for this for so long
Just bought my cybershape with 2 sides of T05, I will have unstoppable speed
A guy at our club bought one and is playing well with it....better than before.

How are you getting on with it?
Great Video 👍 I have the Cybershape alread at home. Think it‘s a really good blade. Quality and sound of the blade is very nice. I like it.
Thanks for the review Dan. One definite advantage - would be a lot easier to achieve a clean cut when sticking the rubbers on top of this! Something I struggle with quite a lot. 😅
What rubbers did you use with this by the way?
Probably the ones that Truls was using, so Stiga Mantra H on both sides
Thanks guys. We both used DNA Platinum XH version 💪
@@TableTennisDaily Thanks TTD!
Dan used the DNA Platnium XH rubbers on both sides on the Cybershape
Next: Square Balls and round Tables
Ha😂
I waited for this video since the release of this blade!
Man I’m seeing everyone with this new octagon
Everyone that can afford 200+ Euros.
Dude he’s switching hands while playing. That’s insane
I enjoyed the review, many thanks, but what rubbers are you Both using, and did they play any part in the feel of the blade? How do they compare to some of Butterfly's outrageously expensive top blades, and what is the retail price?
Would like for you guys to review the Ovtcharov Innerforce ALC blade
The bigggest questions for the table tennis players around the world now are not about developing high tech blade. But how They are able to beat CNT players.
Hey guys, could you do a video advising people how to choose the right type of rubber for playstyle?
How is the handling while playing banana flicks? Since the blade is not rounded, does the edge come in contact with table?
have u tried throwing the blade? I heard the blade was quite durable. Truls throws it around during matches all the time and it still holds
Pro players also typically bring several racquets to tournaments, I know Timo Boll actually brings 6.
So I don't think he's too worried about throwing it around, although it is a bit angsty lol
Can you review the Cybershape Wood 5-ply blade? And compare it to the Cybershape blade?
You look good playing with this blade. Would you use it in a tournament?
I mean it's a very interesting blade. Very good @Stiga!
Great vid lads! Where are you based?
They didn’t know he was going to be a silver medalist at the olympics😂😂
Finally!! :-) Great stuff

Really keen to see table tennis daily review victas laim pitchford
Do they have a pen hold version? I would like to try it if the price is right.
Still dont know if its all hype or if this is going to be my first real blade that I can swap rubbers on.
A blade this fast and stiff will hinder your progress more than help you. You’ll spend $200 for an obstacle.

pretty good blade
I guess he will perform better with regular shape bat.. it's simply math. Circle has the biggest area for a certain circumference .
