how can u rate this racket on control, spin & power?

The 6002 has excellent control and is fast on returns but lacks the skyline iii rubber that is on the 6003 so spin is mid to high. The 6003 is skyline iii on one side (very sticky, like holds a ball upside down for many seconds) and pips out on the other. It makes it hard to be happy with skyline ii once you are used to the dazzling spin of iii.

It is good on power and spin. Control is on par with a lot of other paddles. The problem I have with the paddle is that the handle seems a little short. If you dont choke up on it or pen hold, your hand (unless small) will feel like its falling off. I'm considering taking the handle off my old paddle that is curved and gluing it on this one.

Original. I've been using the same racket for 3 years and it's been great. You have to have complete strokes to use it though. Not a beginner racket.

It's pretty heavy, not sure how far you can hit it. Also, I'd use a racquet you don't care about!

This is a beginner paddle. Once the player is ready to do more than keep the ball on the table, such as impart spin, they should progress to a better racket.

Above average. I've recently taken up again after 15 years off. I was accustomed to smaller club heads, so the driver is fun. Good contact and distance. I felt comfortable as I worked to recover my swing (what swing I had). So far, It's been a good buy for this average hacker.

Not sure about the paddle you're referencing, however, I will say the speed from the forehand absolutely increased, as well as control of backhand slams. I highly recommend this paddle.

In my opinion it is way above a beginners Racket? I have had 4 of them over the last 10 years and believe it is as good as any on the market. I understand it is the biggest selling Racket of all time! Jako

Around 300 grams. This is a heavy racket by all standards and I use it to pound my opponents with severe crushing blows with ball speed exceeding 140 KM / hr.

I will check tomorrow. I have a tennis racket in my garage. I just use it for a gym bag.

(Nov 18) This unit works well, it took some effort to get the swing time correct, and the spin balance, but once done it works fine and tracks nicely and is smooth. The gamble is nearly perfect, if it was less so, it would have been easier to get everything in balance. But, make sure that you get the swing ( drop ) time to about 3 seconds, then work on balance. (Dec20 update:) I have about 20 hours of use out of it so far and it is really great. My only complaint is that I had it all balanced out and a TSA agent wanted to look under the plate, so took an hour to get it back to where I had it . . but for the price and size this is good kit!

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

it's not bad at all. I use mine a lot and can manage to swing it all day long.

JP. But I took it to a pro shop, and the tech there had a suspicion that the racquet was fake. I bought it used off the amazon site, from amazons warehouse dealer. I think what must have happened was someone bought the authentic from amazon, then switched it with a fake and returned it to amazon. Amazon gave me the refund, great service, very hassle free dealing with them. So, if u decide to buy, don't buy used. Take it to a pro shop to get strung and ask the tech to compare to an authentic racquet. They can tell.

Almost all DHS rackets are heavy due to the weight of the rubbers and the thickness of the sponges (usually 1.9 to 2.1mm) also due to the materials they use on the frame... if youre looking for a lighter racket you should try a different brand, such as Tibhar or even a Butterfly with some hollow frame characteristic, but dont take my word for it, you should check web pages that offered comparison and database of rackets (i.e. Table Tennis Database). Good luck!

It seems to spin fine for me doing cleans and jerks and snatches. I've hit 225# on the clean with no issues.

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 :)

Honestly ,,, if you are going to spend a hundred bucks on a simulator I would just put another fifty with it and buy an mcpx . Sims are good for learning inverted control movements but can't compare to actually flying a machine . Find a grassy area and have fun . I have crashed my mcpx no less than a hundred times at a cost to fix of maybe 30$ . Stock up on main rotor linkages and order an extra servo for the main rotor and you will have loads of fun :-). Just my opinion , have a great time .
