What is the difference between the stiga raptor and the stiga pro carbon?

Hi there, Thank you for reaching out to us! Our STIGA Raptor paddle is our highest, top of line paddle being ITTF approved for tournament play and has more technology for power and speed for professional players. The Pro Carbon essentially has the same features just not as extreme, more for intermediate type players. -Adam

Can the rubber be changed on this bat?

Top players change the rubber on their bats every month, depending on how often they practice. Intermediate players who may play a couple of times a week may change their rubber every three months. Top-rated rubber, such as Tenergy, is very expensive. Two pieces of Tenergy cost about $140. So, most players do not change the rubber any more often than they have to. Check Youtube for directions about removing rubber and gluing new rubber. It is not a difficult procedure and will become easier after you have done it once or twice. This advice is for top and intermediate players who practice frequently. People who only play once or twice a month may not need to ever change their rubber.

Hi, is this Raptor paddle penholder or handshake ?

Hello Hunter, Thank you for your inquiry, This is a shake hand racket, more precisely a FL (Flare) / Concave handle. Thank you the Ping Pong Depot team

Why does it matter? This is a quality comp level paddle, and unless you're a top tier player you'll never outgrow this paddle
