The 18K LW Cybershape Gen 2 takes the control and precise feel of the 18K series and combines it with a lower weight and faster manoeuvring. This makes the racket ideal in defensive situations; it’s also excellent at the net, and it makes it easy to accelerate when the game heats up.

18K Carbon Duplex provides a stable and clear ball contact, while the medium balance helps you maintain control throughout the shot.

Lighter in your hand. Faster to the ball. And always 18K.

The Cybershape Gen 2 didn’t begin on the drawing board. It was born on the court.

We’ve listened to players, collected feedback from training and matches, and taken the insights we’ve gathered to the drawing board. The results: a refined construction with more rounded corners, smoother transitions, and reinforced areas to create a more robust whole.

The redesigned neck improves ergonomics and offers more room for a two-handed grip, and every detail has been developed with a clear purpose: improved feel, durability, and playing experience – so you can feel the difference.

It’s how we develop our products at STIGA – close to the players and the game, and with an unflagging dedication to making Cybershape even better.

BIGGER SWEET SPOT.
LESS AIR RESISTANCE.

The unique Cybershape design gives you a larger hitting surface and a higher sweet spot, while the aerodynamic shape reduces air resistance — giving you more consistent, faster and more powerful shots.

FASTER TO THE BALL.

In high-speed duels, even a few grams can make all the difference. The 18K LW Cybershape Gen 2 takes the precise feel of the 18K series and combines it with a lower weight and faster manoeuvring. The result is a racket that helps you react faster, position yourself more easily for the shot, and maintain control when the game moves into high gear.

With a weight of 345 ±8 grams, this racket feels fast at the net and in defensive situations, without losing the stability and precision that defines the 18K series.

SPEED WITHOUT SACRIFICING FEEL IN PLAY

The hitting surface in 18K Carbon Duplex provides a stable, controlled, and clear ball impact. Together with the racket’s lower weight, this makes it easier to accelerate, but still gives you the feel you need to choose direction and placement. In addition, the medium/high balance provides a stable foundation throughout the stroke and allows the racket to create speed as you move forward.

WE’VE LISTENED, AND WE’VE IMPROVED

When we began working with the Generation 2, we used the feedback we received from players who’ve used the first-generation rackets. We’ve listened to what works, what could be better, and which details that players really notice during training and matches. The result: more rounded corners, smoother transitions, reinforced edges, and a redesigned neck for improved ergonomics and more room for two-handed grips. The Cybershape design’s 20 % larger sweet spot, positioned higher up on the racket, also provides more leeway when you’re short on time or outside an ideal position.

LESS WEIGHT, SAME BIG AMBITIONS

The 18K LW is built for players who want to react faster without having to play less offensively. Lighter in your hand. Faster to the ball. And always 18K.
