How Does the Stiga Wood Edition perform?
The first thing you'll notice about this racket is its interesting wooden design - this sticker reminds us of the early days of padel with concrete walls, pros with beer bellies, smelly old tennis balls, and yes, wooden palas.
Our reviewers were pleasantly surprised by the performance of this racket on the court - from its slightly above central balance, medium-soft hardness, it impressed us with its versatility.
After testing it in trainings, matches, and playing with it during the review, this racket impressed us with its comfort and versatility.
Starting from the bottom, the long (13cm) handle has a large bulge, similar to the Varlion Summum range, which gives you confidence in your grip no matter how much your wrist is closing to scoop out low slicey balls in the back of the court or rip kick smashes.
Absolute beginners without much strength may find the balance a bit high, but with that disclaimer, I would recommend this racket to basically all levels of players seeking a touch slightly softer than medium, similar to an AT10 12K.
Note that we have a 15% discount with PADELFYI15 and Stiga offers a 14 day trial period.

Expert Reviews of the Stiga Wood Edition
Intermediate seeking good handling and decent power
Good smashes and power
Good handling allows for chiquitas and precision shots
Good control all around the court
Decent-sized sweet spot
Intermediate players seeking a comfortable versatile racket. 80% of players would play better if they played with this or a similar racket.
Way more power than I expected from a soft racket. I loved viboras with this racket, its forgiveness helped me send them just deep enough and not too deep. Smashes were ok, but you feel the ball absorption and delay upon impact.
No problems with maneuverability, there’s a bit of weight at the head, but intermediate players should have the strength to handle it. It’s not heavy.
It’s a great racket for defending - it’s easy to just place your racket and its ball output will bounce the ball back over the net for you. In order to control it at the net, I stood a half step up and felt more in control.
Large sweet spot, slightly above the center of the racket face. Very forgiving when missing it, except when I was very impatient and didn’t wait for my viboras.
