Speeding up of tabletennis called for developing faster and more dynamic rackets. There were different substances eg.: graphit, metal implemented into the wood, that made them stiffer and enlarged sweet-spot. Due to this ‘evolution’ Clipper Wood, Graphit Wood and Metal wood came out for carrying out the offensive minded playing strategies. Meanwhile Stiga tried to [...]

Although Stiga woods were made by hand in Tranas quantity reached considerable amount. Perhaps for maintaining rackets’ individuality Stiga started to apply serial numbers from 1973-1975 – after the nailed handle period but before the bulbed era. On the bulbed rackets made from ~1987 you cannot find serial number. The serial was made up of [...]

There are many stories circling on anniversary blades but the formula is simple: There are limited decennial series made since 1985 for recalling Stiga rackets & the famous players. 1985 300-300 pcs. of Alser, Bengtsson & Johansson were produced for commemoration of VM.

The point where things start. A 5ply lighter blade to begin learning table tennis for children with the regular OSP feeling and veneer combination made of hand selected raw material. Origo has slightly smaller head made of 5.35mm thick lamina and smaller handle.

Anyway with the serial and the Palatinus logo our [...]

For those, who need faster blade than Virtuoso but prefer 5 ply behavior. Virtuoso+ is between Ultimate and Virtuoso in speed. The harder outer ply, slightly thicker core and different laminating process provides 8-10% more speed and a bit clearer contact.

We make a video series about our handmade table tennis sandard: OSP Blades building process. Part 1 is about installing OSP logo.

We have just released our OSP Musko OFF PRO blade. We developed that racket for Peter Musko our National Champion 2010. He demanded very fast racket that provides power from much of the distances by using incorporated built in glue effect rubbers meanwhile he does not want to sacrifice other advantages covered by OSP blades. At the same time [...]

For those who are keen on sharp offensive playing and want incorporated springs instead of diagonal flexibility we have built the 7 ply OSP Ultimate. Also with Limba outer ply. Softer touch – sharp points.
