Review on STIGA Evolution Tournament-Grade Table Tennis Racket Featuring Approved Rubber For High Performance Play by Gerard Hudson

I purchased the Evolution and the Titan rackets to compare to see if there was much difference. I consider my skill level to be very high at this game and I tested the Evolution by playing against another high level competitor and we would switch rackets. After playing around four dozen games, we both agreed that the Evolution was by far the superior racket. The spin control and defense were the most notable. There were several shots I made with enough backspin, that the ball hit on the opponents side and came back the net to my side before he could hit it. We both also noted that we could return power slams easier with the Evolution and it just always seemed to have the softer touch. The Evolution made a difference of about 5-8 point swing in each game.The construction of the Evolution is very solid and feels slightly heavier than standard rackets including the Titan and to me, I wanted to extra weight to assist with control. I have played with the Evolution now for 2 months and it has held up great. I would suggest getting the case for your rackets to preserve the rubber if you are going to spend this much money.As far as power goes on this racket, the Evolution has plenty of control for those fast shots. Compared to some killerspins I have used, I would say you may get slightly more stiffness and overall power on your shots with the higher end killerspins but not as much control and touch as the Evolution.Overall I am very happy with this awesome racket. Looks like I will have to buy another Evolution now because everyone wants to use it over the other rackets I have:)
