The rubber allow you to create lots of spins. But the sponge and the blade do not provide good bounces to speed the ball. This is really for beginners. Unless you like a light weight racket like I do, this is not good.

In my opinion speed is slow, and spin is ok to mediocre. But I'm used to Chinese paddles and rubber, haven't played much with Euro or Japanese stuff. Of the Chinese stuff, I now prefer the less tacky, softer rubbers and sponges, that are closer to Euro rubbers. But this still feels dead compared to the Chinese Euro copy stuff. My buddy who's a decent player but not great prefers this to my Chinese paddles, because he says he retains more control.In your position I think I'd go for the Stiga Pro Carbon. I haven't tried it, but based on the descriptions and speed/spin ratings, it seems like it would be more lively. In my opinion speed is slow, and spin is ok to mediocre.

racket for 9 year old granddaughter, what size should I buy? Jun 3, 2013I was looking for similar information. You would want the 25" which is for ages 8-10 and great for those just starting out. This is per www.tennis-warehouse.comJun 18, 2013 by T. Pfotenhauer My grandson who turned 6 last November loves this racket and is taking tennis lessons. This was the size and brand recommended to his dad for his age and size (his is tall and strong like an 8 year old)

Yes. I bought it for my son who is a beginner. Plays now as much as you. Big difference from the standard paddles that cam with the table. We think it will suit him for a while.

This is like badminton on steroids. The paddles are similar to racquet ball racquets... And the birdies are very heavy compared to badminton birdies... They fly when you hit them... Not quite sure what paddle tennis is... Works better with something like a volleyball net ...

I only have the 6x6, and think it very adequate for my needs. I hardly play golf and when I do I don't keep score. Seems to make my round a lot happier. I would perhaps count the number of 'good' shots as the best way to measure progress. That aside, this net is just fine for me. I usually hit around 45 balls a day into it, say 5 times a week. I've missed the net 5 times that I can remember. It's great. One of the things I got with it is the PGM3660 3' x 5' Emerald Par Golf Mat. It is very good and very substantial. So I'd recomment the smaller net, and if you start splaying shots wildly, move closer. Just a thought. Jim

My mat is under my spin cycle. I've had the mat for about one year. It still looks pretty good.

The racquets are very light as they are just meant to hit the birdie. I wouldn't use them on a tennis ball.

Hello, if you still have the red button, take the racket apart and try to put it back on. If you don't have the button or if it doesn't stay back on, I'm afraid you'll have to write it off as a loss. I have bought about 6 of those rackets for myself and others and some are better quality than others -- although in general they are rather fragile. I have had to throw at least one away after little use. I can't tell you which ones are the best. But if you order another one, choose a different model. Good thing they are so cheap! Good luck! Tim

I have this paddle and is lighter than most that I've used. Produces very good spin if you like hard rubbers

This is a super racquet, it's light, very responsive, I think you'll love it.

KB, Thank you for considering STIGA! To answer your question, the STIGA Supreme is a faster racket than the STIGA Ultimate. The Ultimate is an older racket that was scored using a different rating system, explaining the wide difference between the ratings. Hope this helps! STIGA

We have only just bought the racquet as it is for a summer camp next week. It seems about the right size when my son, who is 9yrs, holds it. It is nice and light and he likes the look of it. Hopefully it will perform well too. It seems good value for a beginner racquet. Hope that helps :)

Yes, it is definitely an affordable spin. I have mine for a year-and I believe I like it as well as the ones I use in the gym. Go for it!!

You can use badminton or tennis scoring, anything you like actually. Stay within boundaries, fouls, net balls etc. But this set makes it so easy, especially if its windy. It soars! You don't have to hit so hard, but it takes some skill to get it just right too. FUN!! Well made.
