LF: Mid 1990s Stiga Ultimate Wood

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi all, first post. I recently returned to this beautiful game and it brings back some memories, and some sad ones unfortunately.
At some point in my early teens, this is maybe 1995 or 1996, I splurged for the very best Stiga bat they had at my local sports equipment dealer, but I didn't get to use it for very long. If my memory serves me right I left it in a certain spot at my school and when I returned to get it it was gone. I considered it stolen and losing a prized possesion was a hard blow for a 13-year old.

Anyway, now more than 25 years later I have finally set out to find a replacement. I cant remember the exact model but am 99% sure it was a blue Stiga bat stamped with "Ultimate Wood". It had a yellow lens and I think it was a four star. No idea what the rubber was. 

I've found a few images 'round the web and apparently that particular blade could have many names and handles. So far I've found "Peter Karlsson", "Ulf "Tickan" Johansson", "Winner", "Legend" and "Master".
My example could have been any of the above. It looked like below.
So, If anyone has one and is willing to sell, drop me a line.
