Bosworth and Fox with a normal throat area. I meant the shape with a cloased throat like the Major Nazkas.

No, not yet! I presume it’s a standard 300 to the left, a lighter 280 middle and a junior 26 to the right

We have to wait until September 15th, zooming into the throat area makes resolution worse and can't read the specs, oh wait! @Hankenstein could share the specs with us!!! Hope the beam width is no more than 24mm.
EDIT: I'd like to read some feedback about how the Stiga Supreme feels at low-to-medium level of intensity hitting from the baseline. This could be a way to simulate tennis players like me who can't hit as fast as Henrik, who are actually the majority of the market pie, I guess.

Simon Freund hitting with the Stiga Supreme. The guy seems to make contact towards to the top of the hoop and still hitting great. Then switches to a Blade.

I got 319 strung swingweight on the frame. Strung with RS Lyon 1,25.
Beam width i did not measure but i estimate to be 23 to 25´ish mm. The overall look of the mold is Pure Drive original. I had a very brief hit yesterday at a club practice but the balls used was "dead" so i will test with new balls soon and update you guys. I got two frames to try of the 300 grams and i have modified one with 6 grams silicone and 5 grams lead at 3 and 9 as well so i can try stock and customized.
I also got a 270 gram light version that just screams customize me

Curious to see the price tag, because you see there's Artengo and Dunlop whose rackets cost 110€ and much less than 180€ respectively. Diadems are 220€ and 200€ with some discount codes from YouTubers. Is, for exampe, the Stiga Supreme going to be double as good as the Artengo TR990 Pro in stock form with a price tag around 220€? I really hope they will put a reasonable price tag on their series, so that people can choose Stiga. Otherwise, for a price difference of 30-50€, I don't see how one, who's not even reading this forum, is going to pick a new brand over a Big5 brand - who, I believe overprice their rackets.

Logical from a sales point of view (tweeners sell better overall) but seriously? Another Pure Drive clone? Bleeeeeh!I got 319 strung swingweight on the frame. Strung with RS Lyon 1,25.

Yes, ping pong has always been big in Sweden. When I was a kid we had at least one Stiga lawnmower.

I honestly had a huge shock when I saw one of my neighbours with a Stiga lawnmower. Only knew about the ping pong stuff.

2.5mm thicker beam than my Diadem Nova at 9 and 3. Stiffness/RA is not listed, but I'd guess it's up there at high 60s. Cosmetics look great.
Stiffness: 68 +/-5

I can't express how much of a disappointment this bag of BS is...
They put out a Pure Drive clone and claim that it was developed in Sweden - maybe the pj and marketing bull...
The amount of idiocy in the "tech" descriptions makes my head hurt...
The price is a cherry on top... 220 Euro...
If this is a dampened and softer Pure Drive then maybe some racketoholics will buy this, but I won't be surprised if these will be on sale within a year due to lack of sales...

Only a Stiga Supreme - Diadem Nova side-by-side comparison could lead to some first good impressions.
I'm more into smaller headsizes now that require more of my own power and offer much more precision.

I think Henrik/Hankenstein and tennisnerd might be working on some revirew/impressions of the Supreme.
