Customer Reviews

Very good for its price. Good for driving/hitting.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. 5Good quality material, Suitable for serious recreational playGot the racket/bat/paddle today and immediately noticed that the assembly is poor. Material seems high quality, but assembly is not. On the backhand side the black rubber wasn't flat, had multiple small to medium sized bulges, making the racket completely unusable.I have requested a replacement, and once I receive it, I will update the rating as well as the review.EDIT: I got the replacement and it's all good now. I would rate this racket highly for beginner to intermediate players. If you are below 1200 rated, you will be ok with this. Anything beyond that, you will need to invest in a custom-made solution. 4Great for beginners to break into more advanced playLove this paddle, it's my first one that I've gotten since starting to play about half a year ago at work. Before that I'd only used the crappy ones at work that were who knows how many years old and falling apart. This paddle made a HUGE difference! I actually started feeling like trying to put spins on the ball made a difference! After playing with this paddle for a few months, I'm spinning and chopping with ball on level with some of the people who have been playing for years. Some of my coworkers have other paddles they've bought which I've tried, but this one just feels the best to me. Lightweight with good speed and spin! 5NOT FAIR, Competitors BEWAREWow. Was having a tough time competing against my roommates, and then I bought this bad boy. Now, it's not even fare. I am an unstoppable force and have reasserted myself as the ALPHA MALE in the house. I can feel the power when I hold this in my hand. Its light but heavy. Firm but flexible. And the spin.... oooooh the spin is NASTY. My serve has a BITE to it and they can't TOUCH it. My poor roommate is away on business travel, when he returns next week I will probably update this review with more positive feedback. I seriously feel bad for them and may have to start "throwing" a few games so they will continue to play against me. 5Best value for sure!Five stars because after purchasing and playing with a number of bats, this is the best value dollar for dollar.I now have a $125 Avalox bat. obviously, this isn't as good, but...let me tell you, it's pretty darn good!I've also tried a couple of the killerspin bats, the one that's all black with the case, and the ones that come in Blue and Lime Green. Both of those bats feel "dead"direct versus this one.And what's the difference going up to the Avalox? The Avalox has a bit more "responsiveness", an almost "brighter" feel than this one. It's a subtle, but noticeable difference when you're playing more and more.Aside from highly recommending this bat, my suggestion to you is, always keep your bat clean with the cleaner you can buy here on Amazon. Keeping the surfaces clean, regardless of your choice, makes a world of difference. 5Poor qualityi decided to buy it based on the reviews but i regret it! it is too slow and two delicate. The speed rating should be around 50, not 99! its spin is ok, but not like the description. I think it is not worth the money at all. It`s cheap quality as a whole! 1A little disappointedBought this as my previous STIGA racket, the STIGA Titan, had broke in an accident. I like the hit of this racket, as my serves seem to hit lower and faster than with other rackets including my old Titan, and I feel more power with this racket compared to the Titan. However, it feels somewhat harder to control, and I don't have as much spin generation as I was expecting from this racket. The spin feels no different, or maybe even a little less compared to the STIGA Titan. I play ping pong nearly every day and competitively locally, and have had this paddle for about a month in a half. Somewhat disappointed in this racket. 3Great bat, just buy some cleaner to keep the rubbers in top shape.We have a table at work and a lot of people decided to bring their own bats in to play. I tried other people's out and found some I liked, but decided to order this one based on reviews here. I find a lot more of my hits stay on the table now and my game has improved significantly. A few people I work with have ordered this same paddle after trying mine out. It's a great bat - not cheap, but not crazy expensive. 5Significant Improvement.The quickest way to improve your ping pong game is with a good paddle. I am a recreational player with a table at work, and my Win/Loss ration has gone up significantly after buying this paddle. 5Cracked paddle, with initials, seemed like it was sold with lots of milesProduct arrived cracked, scraped, and with someone s initials 1
