About Allround Classic
Allround Classic is 5-ply wood, Combined speed 72, control 94, stiffness 50. It is slower than Clipper, cheaper than fibre, and still printed as a current blade.
This is the sheet-of-wood you give a beginner who has outgrown a premade bat. Putting Tenergy 05 on it is legal and usually silly; a classic or mid-tensor inverted is the matching spare.
Azalea and other Stiga control woods sit nearby. Clipper Wood is the OFF step in the same brand. Viscaria is a different sport.

Handles
Handles listed for this SKU: Flared (FL), Straight (ST), Anatomic (AN). Handle shape does not change the ply recipe, weight class or Combined index.
- Flared (FL)
- Straight (ST)
- Anatomic (AN)
- Flared (FL)
- The usual European shakehand handle. The flare fills the palm and locks the blade in; it does not change the ply recipe.
- Straight (ST)
- A straight handle is easier to rotate in the hand — the usual pick for combination rackets and some two-wing loopers who change grip mid-rally.
- Anatomic (AN)
- An anatomic handle follows the palm. Same wood as FL/ST on the same SKU; pick it if that shape already fits.
