The Stiga AIRY 2, a 2025 model, is a round-shaped racket designed with a low balance, aiming to provide a blend of control and feel. Weighing between 335 and 355 grams, it features a 38 mm Carbon Flexi Frame constructed from carbon fiber, which we found contributes to its durability. The racket's surface is textured, made from 12K Carbon Fiber, and rated as hard, while its core uses a Hypersoft foam, providing a softer feel on impact. This combination positions the AIRY 2 as an all-rounder suitable for competition players, appealing to both adults and juniors. In our testing, we observed that this racket prioritizes maneuverability and precision. We rate its control at 6.6/10 and its power at 5.1/10, suggesting it favors a more controlled playstyle over raw force. The textured 12K carbon fiber surface, combined with the Hypersoft foam core, allowed for good ball feel, and we attributed it a strong 7.9/10 for spin. Its low balance and round shape contribute to a lower difficulty rating of 5.1/10, making it approachable for players seeking to enhance their game with a comfortable and manageable racket. We also rated its durability at 6.9/10, indicating a solid construction for regular use. The AIRY 2, priced at $270, offers a playing experience focused on precision and comfort, particularly for players who value control and spin in their game. We rate its value for money at 5.2/10.
