STIGA Padel Racket 18K LW 2 Cybershape 2026 New design for maximal playing experience! We’ve fine-tuned the details of the popular 18K LW Cybershape, and if you liked that model, you won’t disappointed by the new version. This lighter twin of the Cybershape 18K offers the same excellent feeling of control on contact and a softer ball impact, yet it weighs less and is easier to manoeuvre. The low balance point gives you a sense of good control and the reinforced carbon-fibre layer and the exclusive silver treatment bind the weave to give you a hitting surface that delivers finesse without sacrificing speed or precision.

In wind-tunnel tests with Sweden’s Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), the Cybershape racket consistently performed well, with up to 12 % less air resistance compared to traditionally shaped rackets. This offers a completely new experience in play, with more dynamics and range of motion. It’s a racket designed to cut more effectively through the air.

18K LW 2 Cybershape is suitable for all types of players, but especially those looking for a lighter racket that’s easier on the elbow and wrist and that offers a large, forgiving sweet spot. An excellent choice for experienced adult and younger players who want a lighter racket with low balance.

The unique Cybershape design gives you a larger, generous, and more optimized hitting surface that translates into unique advantages on the court. Thanks to the racket’s hexagonal shape, the sweet spot is 20 % larger; in addition, the sweet spot is higher than in traditional rackets. This well-dimensioned sweet spot is hard to miss. The edges of the racket align perfectly with the court surface, so you can make better shots closer to the glass and the ground. The long handle provides a good grip and more flexibility in your game.

18K LW 2 Cybershape has has an strong frame made from 100 % carbon fibre, which we call the 360 Carbon Frame. This creates a durable racket with fast response and capacity to handle very powerful shots from your opponent.

The textured Crystal Grip surface creates maximum spin on the ball and enhances ball control. The long handle offers more flexibility and features a detachable wrist strap that’s easy to replace.
