Stiga Pro Carbon Wooden Table Tennis Racket- Multicolour

This racket is the one of the best racket for all intermediate players out there who aspire to enhance their table tennis game. I was looking for a bat not too heavy together with good control, speed and spin. This racket has all three attributes in proportion. The best part is the wood of this racket (light BALSA) which feels light in weight when you hold the racket. It is lighter than my previous beginner level bat and feels awesome while playing. The rubber is also good and generates a lot of spin. The only concern is the price and even at this price it doesn't come with any cover. But if you are serious about your game and want to imporve it then you must try this racket.Apart from the features, the parcel was delivered very nicely and with all the protection layers to the product. No internal damage could be observed.

Best for Beginner and Intermediate player.The Handle is little sharp but once you get the hold of it, it delivers.Power amazing.No CoverGood AppearanceGrip - 4/5

It's about 3 years..still in great shape despite regular use

Very good bat with excellent speed and control. Lacking a bit if u want to beat ur opponents with spin. If u like to play shots, go for it.I got little bit of control over it as I just started playing with the bat. But I am getting good control and speed in my shots but still some of my shots are going out of the table. Once I practice more I ll get good hold of it.

Amazing Quality – Perfect for Pro Players!The product is absolutely amazing! I’m really impressed with the quality and especially the weight balance — it’s top-notch. I highly recommend this bat to professional players looking to upgrade their gear and enhance their gameplay.The standout feature is definitely the quality. The control and power during smashes are exactly what I was hoping for — it performs exceptionally well.Although the delivery took around 20 days

Not what it is advertised...an irritating woody sound ...not enough power for intermediate players ....not a very good and responsive bat ...for this price it's not worth it

I was using a normal bat b4 i bought this one. when i started using this bat i realized tr is no control at all, all my shots were going outside, my chops were out of control and suddenly i became a very bad performer. for a week i was so disappointed, i even thought of selling this bat. Only then i read the reviews of the bat online that when i have realized that i have to play acc to the strong points of the bat. the strong point of the bat is power, but not control. its been 9 months since i started using this bat, believe me, now i am a much much btr and aggressive player. you can chop, but u need to be careful, but if u play aggressively then this bat vl give u best shots. read the reviews online and play acc to the bat, i am sure u vl love the bat

Superb quality

Overall Short Comment: Very good for its price($50 at the time of purchase)Fairly spinny.Can feel too powerful if you're not used to playing with 2.0 mm sponge.Lightweight for its speed -- still heavier than most premade bats at 165grams.Medium Rubber - Forgiving for beginners, but the maximum spin and speed is limited once you become good at the sport.The rubber can be replaced though.Good for:- Beginners who can do fh/bh drives- Recreational players with tennis background.- Anyone who doesn't want to invest in a custom setupBad for:- Absolute beginners (Might be a bit too fast. Get Stiga Titan/Evolution for slower setup).- Choppers (Why would you be looking for an offensive paddle?)- If you already know how to loop, this is too beginner-oriented for you. Get a custom setupLong-detailed comments:The Blade:The blade is a little heavier than most premade bats. However, this blade is considerably lighter when compared to other offensive blades.I would say that the weight of this bat is just right for people who are starting to develop offensive playstyle. The blade can be pretty fast despite its light weight and it doesn't vibrate too much.The Rubber:The rubber is Stiga S5, which is a beginner rubber with very little speed and spin. (Very good control)The topsheet is not very grippy and so while table tennis basics can be performed relatively well, the rubber doesn't quite allow you to do advanced strokes. The rubber doesn't really react to spin and so it is good at blocking/driving/flat hitting.Durability:The rubber does lose its tackiness quickly. Since it comes with a not-so-tacky rubber, it will be very hard to generate spin after some period of playing. I've been using this paddle for two months. I play in a college club 4 hours a week + a few more hours with a friend. Right now it's time I change the rubber. I will keep the blade though, it is pretty good.If you are a complete beginner(You can't do forehand drive & backhand top spins comfortably), consider Stiga Titan or Stiga Evolution. Most other premade bat comes with 1.5-1.7 mm. sponge thickness. This paddle comes with 2.0 mm thickness and it is faster than your average paddle! If you play a lot you probably will be fine though.If you are not used to playing with thick sponges, it will take some time to adjust. Once you are familiar with it, this paddle is pretty good for its price. You can upgrade the rubber (or purchase a custom racket) when you are better at offensive shots and you start to feel that this paddle is too slow(At first, this paddle was too fast for me but when your skill improves you will feel that it is very easy to control.)If you are a beginner who can already do spin-intensive shots(i.e. loop) or an intermediate player, don't get a pre-assembled bat. The Stiga S5 rubber is insanely good at flat hitting/smashing but it is designed for beginners.Comments on each shot:Smash/Flat hit: This paddle is insanely good. The rubber is not sensitive to incoming spin.You can smash a chop/lob comfortably since the non-grippy top-sheet is not very reactive to the opponent's spin.Drive: The paddle is good at driving. The spin is ok.Loop: You can loop strongly with proper technique and a lot of energy. You should change the rubber to something better if you want to play the looping game.Push: The paddle can push okay. The S5 rubber offers a lot of control, but it will be hard to load up backspin on long pushes.Lob/fish: The speed of the blade allows you to lob comfortably without putting in a lot of effort.Block: The lightweight blade allows you to quickly block. The rubber offers a lot of control. Pretty good at blocking for an offensive blade.Serve: The rubber can do most serves comfortably, especially long serves. Some spinny short serves(Ghost serve, backspin reverse pendulum) is still hard to perform with the non-tacky top sheet.Chop: As typical of an offensive blade, the 2.0 mm is a little too thick for chopping. It can be hard but still doable.

Chegou rápido, bem embalado, e como sou iniciante, já fiquei muito satisfeito em relação às outras raquetes que já tive.

Seit Jahren meine Lieblingskelle. Hoher Spin, hohe Kontrolle, hoher Speed.

Pretty good one, have been using it for 2 years now. Absolutely suitable for fast players. Control is lesser as advertised. Weight is decent.

Bon rapport qualité prix.
