I am considering buying a cybershape cwt. Does the magnet on the handle impact credit card or iphone? I usually put these together in a bag. Anyone has experience on this issue?

No one has anything to say on the issue? Maybe it is not an issue at all.
Ha Ha kindof99 , you are so funny.
Are you trying to combine a dumbracket with a smart phone , hoping it will make your dumbracket any less dumber ?
( Of course this is assuming you are using a dumbracket configuration becaue it woul make far less sense to use Stiga CWT to design a smart racket )
Older credit cards with a black magmetic strip on the back may be damaged by a static magnet on your CWT racket because you are exposing the credit card for hours and ossibly days to a steady magnetic field. But it may take weeks or months before your credit card may be damaged.
But the new credit cards use what is called EMV technology (EMV = Euro Mastercard Visa) . Instead of a magnetic strip on the back they have a small EMV chip in the frontof the card. Not sure if they are more or less susciptible to constant static magnetc fields.
Only way to find out is to do it. If your card gets damaged, just order a free new replacement LOL . Assuing this is not the only credit card you carry.

Why not just carry your credit cards in an RFID blocking wallet ?
Are you sure these wallets block static magnet fields from magnets ?
RF in RFID is RF(Radio Frequency) meaning it is an electromagentic wave & not a static magnetic field
I believe current credit cards carry both the magnetic strip and the chip if I am not mistaken.
Sometimes the contactless method does not work but the card will still work if swiped or inserted
Not sure after 2024 because I heard at least MasterCard is going to start phasing out magnetic strips and will be totally phased oout by 2033
