STIGA Pro Carbon Table Tennis Racket But that does not mean that the beginners should not buy it. To say, it is mostly easy to play by the pros, not by the amateurs. But an amateur can buy it too. Notice the quality is in comparison to other paddles. Another thing is that it is not very cheap to any one’s affordability to lose its image or super quality. It is good enough for its comfortable handle to grip and for its nice shock tube. It will be better for you to use handshake style of gripping on this racket. The surface rubber is sticky and helps to spin the ball faster at contact. The racket helps the ball to less bounce when you just hold the racket during playing.
