These siblings share Stiga’s all-wood control DNA. The Allround Classic is softer and slower with the most pronounced vibration feedback — the archetypal blade for learning touch. The Allround Evolution was designed after the 40mm ball, so it is a touch faster and stiffer (ALL+) while keeping similar control.
Pick the Allround Classic for the purest, slowest, most feedback-rich learning experience. Pick the Allround Evolution if you want that same control character with a small, useful step up in speed for the modern ball.
FAQ
What’s the real difference?
The Evolution is a bit faster and stiffer (designed for the 40mm ball); the Classic is softer, slower and gives more vibration feedback.
Which for a complete beginner?
Either works — the Classic for maximum touch and feedback, the Evolution if you want slightly more speed to grow into.
