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

My workplace has a ping pong table and my coworkers and I have been playing for a solid year or two now. However the company paddles were in constant dis-array and always being destroyed. However, even with crappy paddles, I was able to develop my game quite a bit and control the ball well. However, I didn't always get to use "the good paddle", so I decided it was time to buy one of my own.I hopped onto Walmart and began doing research. For me, this consists of reading tens/hundreds of Walmart reviews. What's better than a primary source review? After much debate, I decided to order this Stiga Evolution paddle, along with a Stiga paddle case.The paddle arrived within 2 days thanks to Walmart Prime. I brought it into work the next day and played a game with it. I absolutely hated it. I was coming from a "cheap" paddle that was included as part of a ping pong table kit. With this new Stiga Evolution paddle, the power of my shots was immense, but I was hitting the ball all over the place. Control was lacking. However, I stuck with it, and forced myself to learn this new paddle. After a solid 2-3 weeks or so, I finally started to get the hang of it. It's now been about 6 months, and I've absolutely mastered this new paddle. My control is excellent and so is the power.The moral of the story is: With great power comes great responsibility. Don't freak out if you can't handle this at first. If you haven't played with a premium paddle like this before it WILL feel weird. Stick with it!
