STIGA Supreme Performance-Level Table Tennis Racket Made with ITTF Approved Rubber for Tournament Play - Features ACS for Control and Speed

We ended up getting a table in the break room at work, and so after not playing pong since College, it was fun to pick it back up again. I quickly outgrew the $3 cheapo paddles and needed something nicer for our daily games.One of my playing buddies had picked up a killerspin 400 and was quickly outplaying me through more powerful hits, spins, and attacks. I picked this up for a comparable price, and am very happy so far with it. I get great control, spin, and its all around good at both defensive play and attacking. Ive been using it for a full month before writing this review, and so far, with almost an hour of play a day it still looks new with frequent cleaning of the rubber.Edit - 12/12/12 (6 stars still if I could!): I still rate this item excellent. I have put in hundreds upon hundreds of games with this paddle, and after only the first few weeks, about 6-7 other coworkers started grabbing this one and using it over the cheapy $5 paddles, thus it has amassed a massive amount of games, and sees several hours of abuse a day from complete newbie to moderately skilled players. It's dropped, tossed, banged against the table, you name it. I purchased this back in June 6 months ago. It still is an excellent paddle, and in excellent shape. Short of the text on the tape being scuffed, and a minute bit of fraying on the top, the handle, wood, and rubber are all in great shape. It literally needs cleaned every few days, and that is the extent of maintenance it has received. I easily expect another 6 months at a minimum, with myself and the 6-7 other people who each use it, to each get in 3-5 games a day per person.

This is the racket i play with. At first i didnt like the NARROWer-than-usual handle. My hands are pretty big so it a while to get used to the small handle. (it doesnt have the taper that makes it bigger at the bottom end) BUT it is also lighter than most rackets out there. for me thats a big plus because it allows for a fast reflex hit.As for the speed, its got good speed because the foam under the rubber is not too thick, so the ball bounces off the racket very well.And yet the rubbers are top notch. Very good spinner. Thats my style.

Really great grip, smooth finish on the shaft, cool unique colors, really good wood, solid glue, thicc feel, and it increases your natural talents by 4x and your coordination by 8x and, regardless of who you're attracted to sexually, this paddle WILL make them attracted to you upon witnessing your famed top spin serve! Your poor opponents won't feel nice after seeing your slice! Curve that ball like Swerve! Skert Skirt! Great for ping pong, or even table tennis depending on your preferred sport. Would not recommend on clay surfaces though. Good for Indoor/Outdoor usage. Great Entry level paddle for Experts to become Intermediate level players.This paddle changed my life.

I'm casual player, have been using a stiga pro drive racquet bougth many years ago. I really want to improve my game because i feel i can give a lot more, but my old stiga racquet isslowing me down, so I decided to buy a better one. My first impression after using it was definitively this racquet is a huge step ahead, but a few games later noticed this racquet needs more speed and more spin to be considered a superb racquet. My first concern before buying was about control and i must say that with this racquet the ball goes exactly where you want to put it, control and maneuverability is perfect because of its low weight, perfect balance and good comfort in your hand. But the racquet is not as fast and spiny as i want.PROS:- Perfect control and maneuverability.- Feels very comfortable in you hand.- Good for near table blocking, just put the racquet in front of the ball and it goes back to the other side with no problem at all.- Low learning curve, you can master it in a few games.- Ideal for playing defensive backhand strokes.CONS:- Not too good for looping.- You have to swing really hard to give real speed to the ball.- You need to know how to use your wrist correctly to impart good spin to the ball.

Having always been into table tennis, but just recreationally, this was a great entry into the “pro” paddle market. It comes fully assembled, good weight and high quality rubbers for spin shots. Its very fun to use and I find myself having a bit more confidence at the table.

I bought this based on price, and skill level for our TT games, during our breaks at work. The supreme racket is noticeably lighter than the generic house rackets. The grip is good and makes it easy to hold and maneuver, which helps with the control.Because of its weight, I feel like my new found attacks are not as effective. So I will just go straight to the Pro Carbon as I feel like I can attack better now.Definitely a good racket for beginners that are ready to move from the cheap generic house rackets.

The paddle has decent spin and speed for the price. I’ve used it for a couple of month as my main paddle for recreational purposes. It’s a good paddle for someone learning to play and looking a better paddle than the usual cheap ones. The quality is ok, but you have to take extra care. Accidental hits it against the table will create permanent dents on the sides.Overall it is a good paddle for the price and I recommend it.

I am a casual table tennis player who plays a few games almost every day at my college. Thus far, I have no complaints with the performance of this paddle. It gives me noticeably better spin and control, and it has a very comfortable handle. It is a great paddle, but the price is a bit steep. I looked all over and amazon's price is an unbeatable deal, but it is still a little more than I wanted to spend. However, it is infinitely better than the cheap paddles that are usually provided for games. If you have the money and want a really good paddle I would highly recommend this one. (note that I am a casual player and cannot speak for professional players or professional use)

Good rubber for spin and control , speed excellent....perfect paddle

Buenisima, sus gomas te dan mucho control, ideal para iniciar con una paleta de media gama

I can assure you that it is not fake like the other ones. Also it is awesome for it’s price, as I consider this racket to be a professional one.Pros:Great Paddle.7 ply woodGood speed, spin and control

La raqueta es muy buena, agarra muchismo efecto, fuerza y no cansa por su poco peso. Buena para jugadores defensivos y ofensivos, pero si eres ofensivo te puede llegar a molestar un poco el poco peso de la raqueta.

Great paddle, light weight.
