Stiga Defensive Classic II

Defensive Classic II is a subtle yet powerful update of the renowned Defensive Classic, featuring a 5-ply blade with an unbeatable combination of stability, feel in play, and refined balance.
It’s a blade suited to the modern defensive player as well as those who like to construct their game using strategi, patience, and sharp precision. Thanks to the larger blade and soft outer veneer, you’ll have full control of spin, tempo, and placement. The design, consisting of five carefully selected layers of veneer, gives this blade a unique balance between responsiveness and stability, and the updated design increases both performance and the visual expression of the blade.
We’ve developed this blade in close collaboration with Masato Shiono, who is known for his brilliant defensive technique. It’s a design that’s meant to help you put pressure on your opponent with deep backspin followed by precise counterattacks.
