STIGA Pro Carbon Performance-Level Table Tennis Racket with Carbon Technology for Tournament Play - Red and Blue Colors

Bought for my wife ,she says a little heavier but good control, and weigh actually helps her game

I love this paddle

Offers greater ball placement accuracy and spin/curves to the ball than the paddles that came with our nice quality Princeton table.

Very lightweight the rubber they use is sticky no complaints. Some of the reviews say you don't have that good at control with this paddle, but I have no issues with it whatsoever and it's fast

Great spin, speed, and 4 of 5 on feel. Better than a paddle I spent $100 on and better than any paddle priced the same

Best paddle

The handle is about 5mm shorter than the handles on all my other bats. In the image, the leftmost one is the same bat: Pro Carbon, while the one in the middle is an older Stiga Tube Advance. Handle is shorter only on the Blue Pro Carbon.Also, the blade + sponge + rubber seems to be about 1 mm thinner than the Red Pro Carbon. Furthermore, there's a small (some 4mm diameter circle) depression on the black rubber, that I don't know what to think of.UPDATE: I finally got to use the bat in some matches and oh boy, this is not the real thing! My 10 year old Stiga Tube Advance with a spin rating of 86 has about double the spin of this Blue Pro Carbon which is supposed to have a spin rating of 100. Even the sound that the bat makes when you hit the ball is cheap. The Red Pro Carbon which I bought together with this one is the real thing! Spin, speed, sound, feel... everything is great on that one.I guess I was unlucky and got a third class product (or worse), which should have never been sold as brand new. The shorter handle and slippery, hard blue rubber look like manufacturing defects to me.They did update the description and the images a few weeks after I placed my order though...so maybe the new blue ones are authentic first class bats.
