STIGA Ghost Racket

This paddle is very light, as its name suggests. If you get fatigued with heavier paddles, this is worth a try. It feels pretty well-made but is a bit expensive, perhaps due to the Stiga brand.

This would be a great starter paddle if you are/were a full-swing, flat hitting (never learned top-spin) tennis player that's struggling to keep the ball on the table. It's an upgrade from the run-of-the-mill paddles that come with a cheap set, but the rubber on this still leaves a lot to be desired if you know how to spin the ballThe fit and finish are good - you can tell it's manufactured from a top-tier manufacturer... but I just don't find this to be a paddle I'd recommend to most players.pros:very light weightgood fit and finish, good lamination, and everything's lined up wellgreat for controlcons:no speed and no spin... kind of mediocre all-around as a paddleThere are much better paddles in this price-point

This is a nice quality paddle for those beginners that want to improve on their ball control. It’s light weight and not meant for speed or spin. It’s a little pricey but a decent, lightweight paddle.

The media could not be loaded.  This paddle is a lot more expensive than my VICTOREM paddles which cost less than this paddle for four paddles, carrying bag, and some nice ping pong balls. This one is slightly lighter weight and the rubber is more resilient. My VICTOREM paddles dent a bit with play but these don't. I think the performance is pretty similar but my father prefers this paddle and says it gives him more control than my VICTOREM paddles. The padding helps to slow the ball down for better control over return speed. If you want a good paddle, I'd get the VICTOREM set. If you want a slightly better paddle and don't care about cost, you might want to give this one a look, especially if you prefer speed control and shot placement over the ability to put spin on the ball.

Well, Stiga is a big name for Ping Pong related items, but not for this paddle. It feels light and gives no spinning power with its cheap rubber. You get what you paid for.
