1 / 7STIGA Carbon Advance Table Tennis Bat
The STIGA Carbon Advance table tennis bat is listed for intermediate players and combines a wood blade with carbon fibre layers and medium rubber. Its 5+2-ply construction and 2.0 mm sponge are aimed at players seeking pace and spin, while the listing’s performance figures are manufacturer claims rather than independent test results.
At a glance
- Manufacturer describes a 5 wood-ply blade with 2 inner carbon fibre layers.
- Medium STAR Advance rubber is paired with a 2.0 mm sponge.
- Optispot Pro is claimed to enlarge the sweet spot, including beyond the centre of the blade.
- The listing presents speed, control and spin figures, but gives no scale or testing method. It also mentions a Cybershape version, which is not confirmation that this bat has that shape.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Intermediate skill designation and concave grip provide a clear starting point for buyers seeking a ready-made bat.
- Carbon layers, medium rubber and a 2.0 mm sponge give the listed setup an emphasis on pace and spin potential.
- Manufacturer claims the enlarged sweet spot can help shots land away from the blade centre.
Cons
- The supplied speed, control and spin figures have no explained scale, so they are difficult to compare with other bats.

What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
Listing details are inconsistent about construction: one description calls the blade 5+2 ply, while another specifies 5 wood plies plus 2 inner carbon layers. The supplied general material fields list carbon fibre, rubber and wood, but frame and shaft are both separately given as wood. A Cybershape version is mentioned as also available without confirming that this selected bat is the Cybershape model. Treat performance and technology statements as manufacturer claims, and check the exact selected variant if blade shape or construction is important.

Aggregate customer ratings lean positive, with most ratings in the five-star category, but a small lower-star share indicates that experiences are not uniformly favourable. Ratings alone do not identify what customers liked or disliked. For an intermediate player, the bat’s listed carbon construction and rubber setup are relevant points to weigh, but the rating data cannot confirm those performance claims.
