STIGA Pro Carbon Performance-Level Table Tennis Racket with Carbon Technology for Tournament Play - Red and Blue Colors

The name Stiga has been around table tennis for donkey's years and came , I think, from Sweden. This bat came from China with Chinese rubbers. I am wondering if it is just too light because that is my feeling after a two hour session. The carbon bit may improve speed but the 'feel' is lacking. OK, those are first thoughts and I promise i will come back if it grows on me with time. As promised I'm back after more hours. Happier now but this bat is not all that fast and lacks feel of the ball. So overall, it's good but not wonderful. And I bought it for £62! More news: I contacted Stiga who assure me that while this bat is made in China it is a genuine Stiga bat made with their approval mainly for the American market.

Both centre pieces have now fallen out, this is not a genuine Stiga bat! Materials appear to be of low quality. Very disappointed.

Very good quality rubber & exceptional at spinning the ball.

STIGA is a trusted brand in our household and these paddles did not change that. They are amazing, particularly if you're like me and don't want to mess around with sourcing and adding your own sponges and rubbers. These are amazingly grippy and dramatically improves with your spin game along with a lightweight feel that helps with speed as well. I highly recommend the STIGA Raptor to anyone who wants to step up from standard paddles into the semi-pro arena.

I like the rubber. It is suitable for use in both defence and attack.

There was no shield plastic cover for the racket. The rubber was slightly torned (damaged). All together the racket looked like it was a used one. Very disappointing

perfecto para empezar a tomarte este deporte mas en serio, tardas un poco en hacerte con el sping y el rebote pero una vez le tomas el truco es perfecto.
