BLADE
STIGA Cybershape Carbon
Cybershape features a unique hexagonal shape with a larger sweet spot positioned higher on the blade compared with a traditional round blade. The innovative shape gives players excellent conditions for precision, control and offensive play.
Cybershape Carbon combines the innovative shape with a wood and carbon fibre construction, developed for players looking for high speed, stability and a distinct feel on ball contact. Ranefur plays with a customised Cybershape blade and has experimented with and adjusted the length of the handle.
STIGA Helix Hybrid XH
Elias Ranefur plays with STIGA Helix Hybrid XH, an offensive table tennis rubber developed for advanced players looking for high spin, speed and precision.
The grippy, slightly tacky topsheet provides excellent opportunities to put pressure on the opponent with powerful attacks and varied spin. The combination of Cybershape Carbon and Helix Hybrid XH suits Ranefur’s creative and offensive playing style.
