The STIGA 4 Star CRYSTAL is a high-performance offensive racket designed for intermediate players who want to accelerate their game. This racket features STIGA’s innovative Crystal Technology—a specialized surface treatment that hardens the blade to deliver increased ball speed and a crisp hitting feel. Built with a 5-ply premium wood structure and pre-assembled with ITTF-approved STIGA S4 rubbers, it offers a superb combination of power, spin, and touch. The ergonomic Long Handle (FL) ensures a comfortable grip for powerful swings, making the STIGA 4 Star Crystal the perfect weapon for players looking to dominate the table with precision-timed attacks and consistent loop drives.

The Crystal Advantage: Hardened for Higher Velocity

The hallmark of the STIGA 4 Star CRYSTAL is its “Transparent Power.” It offers a specialized performance profile designed for tactical offensive mastery:
* **Innovative Crystal Technology:** Traditional blades can sometimes feel “soft” upon impact. STIGA solves this by applying a transparent, high-tech surface finish that increases the surface hardness. This allows the ball to leave the racket faster, giving your opponents less time to react.
* **Balanced 5-Ply Blade Construction:** Underneath the Crystal layer lies five plies of professional-grade wood, selected for their stability and vibration-damping qualities. This ensures that even with the added speed, you retain the control needed for delicate short-game play.
* **Professional STIGA S4 Rubbers:** Equipped with S4 rubbers, this racket is tuned for balance. The sponge provides enough “kick” for mid-distance loops, while the grippy topsheet ensures high rotation on serves and pushes.
* **Ergonomic Flared (FL) Handle:** The flared handle is a standard for professional play, providing a secure grip that expands slightly at the base to prevent slipping during maximum-effort loop drives.
