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

1st off this is 100% genuine made in China official Stiga product. There is 2 or 3 reviews that have pictures of a paddle that has a B? on the handle. Now that is obviously a fake because why a B for Stiga Evolution? And the bat is just rewrapped in cellophane. All Stiga bats come in that very distinct Stiga package. If you got this then you got the real deal. The review pointing out missing periods, a couple misspelled words, & some things not being in bold is complete garbage. Don't listen to this person. The missing periods is BS (very likely printer error, my package was missing 1 period, the rest of the package and item were flawless), bolding of certain words vs. other similar paragraphs are only in bold if it's a header and not part of a larger sentence. For instance the 4 boxes he refers to only 1 of those boxes has a bold header because as I said if it is the beginning of a sentence then it's not in bold (makes sense right?) but the 1 "header" that is in bold, says something "blah blah blah technology" then starts a new sentence describing that tech. Formaldehyde was spelled perfect on my package, as far as it being misspelled on his package, I don't have an answer for besides it's China & I, a native English speaker, don't even know how to spell that word so looks like factory error again. My overall point is yes there is a very small chance you would get a fake (that is just table tennis paddles, a lot of fakes) but this previous reviewer is sorely mistaken because the things he points out as wrong are tiny mistakes & the rest of the package is flawless. It would cost less money to sell authentic products than to go to the trouble to recreate a near perfect recreation. And by the way the paddle is the best I have ever played with. Control for days, plenty of spin, optimal weight. Feels like you are catching and throwing the ball rather than hitting it. Going on 10 years of experience. ITTF certified Instructor Thanks
