Weather Resistant Ping Pong Paddle - STIGA Flow Outdoor Table Tennis Racket Review

We recently started playing ping pong after decades of hibernation.My husband has 20 excuses why I beat him.This racket was our first step up from the cheap ones in the starter set.It helped him perfect his top spin and overall control.He highly recommends it and it has helped his game (but he still hasn’t beaten me). We’ve only used it indoors.It feels great in your hand and flows!

This is a nice ping pong paddle but it is too heavy for me and I can't seem to get used to the flared handle. i have a rather large hand and it just doesn't feel good.That being said it got a lot of use during the holidays and was the favorite paddle among some of our family and friends who chose Ping Pong over the couch after dinner. It's a well made racket, a little heavy and I prefer a straight handle, not flared.

The only thing I don't like about this paddle is that it's not regulation and its a bit heavy. However I basicly call it my cheater paddle. If you have a fair grasp on spin this paddle will basicly return shots for you. There is also a great pop that takes those awkward flick shots that shouldn't have enough power to get back to your aponent and make them possible. 100% I'd buy again. Oh, also it takes time to get the pads worked in like any other paddle. Give it time.

This racket has a comfortable grip and is resistant to moisture and temperature changes. It is heavier than the average racket, but still handles well.

The design is unique, the racket is hefty, but due to its construction it breaks easily, even during normal play. The racket is channeled plastic on the sides through the center, I'm assuming to allow water to pass through. However, this channeled plastic allows for cracks and damage to appear in the structure of the racket. I still use it for now, but I can tell when I hit the ball with a damaged section.

This is a decent ping-pong paddle. It's great for indoor or out-door use. Its a little heavier than the basic wooden paddles. My paddle also came with a nick on both sides in the lower middle section of the paddle. The nick was minor and appeared to be a manufacture defect.

Great ping pong paddle, it is an outside paddle but can be used inside. I bought it for the style and it has become my favorite paddle.

I'm no Ping Pong Pro, but I do know the difference between a poor-quality racket and high-quality. This one is definitely high quality. I don't know that it's so great that I would spend more than $20 on one paddle, but to each their own.Here are the specifics about the racket:HARDNESS - 30CONTROL - 90SPIN - 45SPEED - 45BLADE: Polypropylene and Glass FiberHANDLE: Thermoplastic ElastomersOverall, I found that the racket was slightly softer than I was used to, which I appreciated. It provides…

At work we have a ping ping table and we play volley pong, I have broken a few wooden paddles so I bought this for it's strength. This is a nice strong paddle that has good control and decent spin. The only downside is that the rubber on the handle has started to peel back already.

Very happy. Works well and is so confortable to hold. I bought a wood type paddle that the edges would dig in my hand. L The paddle doesn't come with a protective case, making it vulnerable to damage during transport!

I work at a treatment center and the residents play a lot of table tennis - they are hard on equipment. The wooden paddles always get torn up in a relatively short period of time. This type lasts at least 10x longer than a wooden paddle. They are pretty bomb proof. They have lasted well over a year so far. They are institution tested and approved! More expensive than wooden paddles but you will save a lot of money by not having to constantly purchase the cheaper ones. They have very grippy…

It is a little too heavy for beginners. I know it is specified but if someone like me didn't read here is a reminder. That's my feedback.

We have picked up several rackets over the last few months, and I like the indoor/outdoor model when it comes to specific needs. I am a novice player, though, and other folks I know that play a lot more say it is better to have an indoor-only model with better craftsmanship that weighs less. For my needs, this works really well, and considering that kids and others could leave it outside, it is nice that it cannot be ruined so easily. It feels like it decently well made and will hold up for my…

Racket is sturdy because of plastic injected matrix but it too heavy and there is no cushion to control the ball just the rubber contact surface. Ball flies off paddle like those old fashioned wooden dimpled paddles.

Great outdoor paddle. We live near a salt water bay, they get left out all the time. Incredible. They are weighted a little better than the competition. Because they are solid construction no amount of dropping or banging on the table can crack them.

This is a good table tennis racket for both indoor and outdoor use. It is made of thermoplastic for the handle and polypropylene & glass fibers for the blade. The durable materials are weather-resistant and would seem to last a long time. The racket certainly surprised me with its weight and price. It's heavier than the wooden rackets I have used before, and the materials and construction look cheap. Nevertheless, it's quite balanced and performs well enough.The blade is hallowed out like a…

Haven't had them long enough to test the Florida humidity durability of the product. My son said you have to get use to them. Compared to the standard wooden ping pong paddles these are a little thicker and heavier. The ball responds more actively to these paddles, though. If they withstand the humid weather may buy another pair.

This racket is a little heavier than I'm used to. The grip is excellent. The surface is fine. It works well and I have not seen any problems with it. The side is open, so you can see the space between the sides, giving it a less game room more sporty appearance. It puts a good amount of spin on the ball, and I'd recommend it for that alone.

Great paddle for the money. Has good weight to it.I ordered this paddle do to my work setting up two ping pong tables and I wanted my own paddle over using the cheap paddles that came with tables. Do to the black and white colors of the paddle , I call my paddle " killer whale."" haha

This is one heck of a ping pong paddle. It's ideal for spinners as it allows you to really add that additional spin as it adds the power. It does take a bit getting used to, but once you get the hang of it, you're untouchable. I call it the Elder Wand (referring to the wand in Harry Potter)
