About Tube Aluminium

Stiga Tube Aluminium is a 2018 5+2 aluminium table tennis blade made in Sweden. It is ITTF-approved, classed offensive (OFF), and uses a synthetic fibre other than ALC/ZLC (arylate, glass, PBO-c, Kevlar or similar).

Factory figures: typical weight 86 g, thickness 5.9 mm. Handles listed: Flared (FL), Straight (ST), Anatomic (AN). Construction label Fiber (5+2 aluminium). Offensive close-to-table and mid-distance topspin is the intended game.

Combined index: speed 90, control 82, stiffness 84 (official mapping 90 / 82 / 84). Outer fibre shortens dwell and raises the first-ball speed compared with an all-wood of similar weight.

Community score 8.2 / 10 from 20 reviews. Indicative European street price €75. Compare Tube Aluminium with other fiber OFF blades on TableTennisReview.

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.
