Stiga ‘Inspira CCF’ is the representative of inner-fiber blade in Stiga blade range before the launching of ‘Cybershape Carbon’. It is the thickest inner-fiber blade in Stiga blade range, and has woven carbon fiber in its construction. ‘CCF’ means ‘Close Core Fiber’ which is Stiga’s own expression for ‘inner fiber construction’. Although it is a blade with inner-fiber construction, ‘Inspira CCF’ is as fast as the most famous outer-fiber blade.
Following are the performance indices of Stiga Inspira CCF (avg.weight = 87.3g) :
– Ep = 2.17
– Ec = 1.90 (Ec/Ep = 0.88)
– Vp = 1.33
– Vl = 1.47 (Vl/Vp = 1.11)
Please note that above are average values and can be updated by further measurement.

Thank you for sharing your vast knowledge and information with us.
Can you share the performance data of the Inspira CCF (Ep, Ec, Vp and Vl) with us?
Being a very thick blade (6.2mm), what is the average weight of the Inspira CCF?
How different is the woven carbon fiber used in the Inspira CCF from the Textreme Carbon used used by Stiga in the Carbonado series and the Legacy Carbon blades?
How does woven carbon fiber compared to the ALC which seems to be a popular choice and used by many manufacturers?
Thank You!

It seems that I missed this comment. I have just noticed your new comment.
The indices of Inspira CCF is not much different from those of Cybershape Carbon. Following are the indices :
Ep = 2.17, Ec = 1.90 (Ec/Ep = 0.88)
Vp = 1.33, Vl = 1.47 (Vl/Vp = 1.11)
The average weight of Inspira CCF I measured is around 87 gram. And, there will be the pcs. whose weight is under 85 gram. Although it is a very thick blade, it isn’t heavy because its center layer is Kiri which is lighter than Ayous that is used for the center layers of the most of inner-fiber blades.
Regarding the fiber, the TeXtreme is also a kind of woven carbon fiber. The difference of TeXtreme is that its surface is flatter than ordinary woven carbon fiber. The major advantage of TeXterme is that it is softer than ordinary woven carbon fiber. Woven carbon fiber is much harder than ALC. However, TeXtreme is not that hard. That is important for outer-fiber blades such as Carbonado series and Legacy Carbon. But, it isn’t that importnat for inner-fiber blade such as Inspira CCF. Probably Inspira CCF could be softer if TeXtreme is used instead of ordinary woven carbon fiber. However, TeXtreme will not be needed if current performance and feeling of Inspira CCF are at their optimum points.

Hello, I came across a new Stiga blades recently, the Inspiria Hybrid Carbon. It looks almost identical to the Inspiria CCF in your post except the logo on the handle is red colour. Looking at it closely, it is an outer carbon blade instead of the CCF inner carbon. Looking at the Stiga website and there is no description of the wood and carbon composition, just marketing material. Some reviews indicate it is a very fast blade, but it they are subjective reviews though. Just wondering if you have any information on this blade and whether you have a chance to test the performance index of the Inspiria Hybrid Carbon blade. Thank you.

Thank you for comment. I’m trying to get the sample of ‘Inspira Hyper Carbon’. 🙂

Hi, I am also wanting to find out the information and performance data for this blade, as though it is fast, I have heard it has good control, and some have said a larger dwell time than cybershape, so am curious as to what the results will be. It has been a while since this message, so are you still struggling to get the sample, or has been given up on? Thanks for the hard work!

I have just noticed that I didn’t write the performance indices of Inspira CCF in this article. I will add the data soon.
Basically the performance indices of Inspira CCF aren’t much different from those of Cybershape Carbon. There are small differences due to the difference of shape, but not serious. Deviation of thickness may be the more important factor that makes the differences of indices.

Sorry, I was talking about the Stiga Hybrid Carbon that the post I replied to was talking about. Are You still looking into getting and testing that blade? I am personally very interested in it as people seem to have differing views about it’s stiffness, feel and speed online. Thanks!

Ah! Understood. 🙂
I couldn’t have got the samples yet.
However, I think that there will not be much difference between Tibhar MK Carbon and Stiga Inspira Hybrid Carbon. Those two are produced in the same factory, and the constructions look identical to each other.

ah ok, thanks for the tip! That was one of the other blades I was looking at due to the similar characteristics, and I am also going to look at the DHS 506x, though i have experienced inconsistency in DHS’ products. I have heard that the stiga inspira hybrid carbon feels slightly faster and has a more direct ball path than the tibhar blade, but still have a softer feeling than the tibhar blade, so would be interesting to see the results when you manage to get your hands on the inspira hybrid carbon. Also, I was wondering if you do similar analysis’ with rubbers, as I am also curious to how stiga DNA hybrid rubbers compare to Tibhar hybrid mk pro and dignics 09C. Thanks for all your help!

The Stiga Inspira Hybrid Carbon has been available for a while now from various dealers. I bought the Carbonado 190 a couple of years ago based on your review and have been happy with it, but it seems to be hard to find now. Stiga is not very forthcoming on information about this new blade except to say it has carefully selected wood and carbon fibre combined with VR+ fibre, whatever that is. Some say the outer layer is Koto and that is manufactured in Korea or that the carbon layer is made in Korea and blade is assembled in Sweden. More information on how this blade is made and how it compares to the previous Carbonado series and other Butterfly blades would be helpful.

At least the blade part is produced in Korea. And, the fiber is made in Japan.
If it is made in Sweden, probably the final process is done in Sweden, like the final process of MK Carbon is done in Japan.
BTW, I find a big difference between those two. MK Carbon has a FL handle of ‘Viscaria’ type which is low and wide. But, Inspira Hybrid Carbon has a FL handle of ‘Timo Boll Spirit’ type which is high and narrow.
