Pro Carbon + Raptor Performance-Level Table Tennis Rackets with Carbon Technology for Tournament Play - 7-ply Blade with Flared Handles - 2mm Sponge for Enhanced Control and Speed

Very good palette, has wow control.

The STIGA Pro Carbon Table Tennis Racket has taken my game to the next level. The paddle is lightweight yet powerful, offering incredible speed and spin control. The carbon layers make a noticeable difference in responsiveness, and the ergonomic handle provides a comfortable grip for long matches. The build quality is top-notch, and it feels like a professional-grade racket. It’s a bit pricier than beginner paddles, but for serious players, it’s worth every penny. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to elevate their table tennis game!

Review first, then a bit about my experience with the paddle (day 1) and a bit about competitively priced paddles because I bought another paddle along with this one to compare. This paddle is an AMAZING improvement over the cheap paddle I picked up in the grocery store in the "sports - clearance" section lol go figure. I mean it's SO night and day it feels like cheating. This is a great paddle and at the end of this review I compared it to the JOOLA overdrive which is priced the same as this one and I think this is much better. I played for a couple years when I was 18 till about 21 and I'd say I was intermediate at the sport but I'm 35 now and just recently found out a friend of mine likes to play so I immediately got back into it but I've been using this terrible store non-name brand clearance paddle. I have played probably 50 games to 21 with him and I've never scored more than 11 points against him in 50 games, and he had to go easy on me... when he was trying I would struggle to get 3 points against him. When I got this paddle my FIRST game against him I beat him 21 to 19! It's night and day the difference a good paddle makes. I also want to mention I ended up ALSO buying a JOOLA infinity overdrive paddle at the same time and I tested both paddles. I don't think it's close - I think this raptor is better by a not insignificant amount. It's not as great as the difference between my clearance paddle of course, and I don't think anyone who has an overdrive should be disappointed - it's great but this raptor is so nice. I think I'm going to return the JOOLA and buy a 2nd raptor so I can invite more friends to play with me and we can each have a great paddle. That's how good this is :) EDIT couple days later: Yep. I was so satisfied with this raptor I did end up returning the JOOLA overdrive and bought a 2nd raptor so I can have a spare and can invite my friends to play against me and they can have an equally good paddle.

I have used Stiga products for a long time (since 1970s) and they make some wonderful equipment.I purchased this blade for a friend who is in a position to step up from basic prefab paddles which come bundled with the table . I was advising a custom racket-but got tempted to try this prefab paddle. A mistake ! I believe the blade is a 7 ply carbon and should be good offensive blade but the rubber (S5) isnearly useless as there is hardly any speed or topspin. The paddle came with a deep groove on the Red rubber. I tried to remove the S5 rubber with the idea that I would stick a new pair of decent rubbers(Stiga Calibra LT Spin) . But it is virtually impossible to remove the S5 rubber without damaging it or the blade surface !!! so those of you who will be tempted to utilize the blade as salvage are hereby warned that the S5 rubber is fixed very deeply with something other than the water based glues I am used to (Butterfly Free chack). If you are a recreational player-this is too much money to spend on a prefab blade. If you are a serious player-you can do much better by spending a little more and buying a decent blade with a pair of good rubbers. Needless to say I am disappointed with this purchase. I presently use a Butterfly IF ZLF blade with Tenergy 64 on FH and Tenergy 5 FX on BH. Update :03.19.16 The S5 rubber removed. Residue of rubber stuck to blade and the hard glue removed with multiple scrubbing with solvent (Gasoline). Blade looks very good ,light and fast (bouncing ball on naked blade). Stiga Calibra LT spin-rubbers attached with free chack glue. Amazing improvement in performance now. Speed 9/10,spin 9/10, Control 7/10. Excellent on table/mid distance play with powerful looping for opening up. Still a bit hard for my taste but a very fast usable combo now.. Happy Camper now !!

Great rackets. Will buy again in the future. Top quality blades and rubber 👌

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.

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