Flow Outdoor 2-Player Table Tennis Set Includes Two Outdoor Rackets and Two Outdoor Balls

Have it for over a year and it is perfect

I work at a treatment center and the residents play a lot of table tennis - they are hard on equipment. The wooden paddles always get torn up in a relatively short period of time. This type lasts at least 10x longer than a wooden paddle. They are pretty bomb proof. They have lasted well over a year so far. They are institution tested and approved! More expensive than wooden paddles but you will save a lot of money by not having to constantly purchase the cheaper ones. They have very grippy rubber surface which can put a wicked spin on the ball. Great paddle all around.

The only thing I don't like about this paddle is that it's not regulation and its a bit heavy. However I basicly call it my cheater paddle. If you have a fair grasp on spin this paddle will basicly return shots for you. There is also a great pop that takes those awkward flick shots that shouldn't have enough power to get back to your aponent and make them possible. 100% I'd buy again. Oh, also it takes time to get the pads worked in like any other paddle. Give it time.

I bought four rackets for outdoor use about 1 and 1/2 years ago. We leave them outside on the table and play frequently. The three wood handle rackets are all falling apart (handles cracked in half, rubber falling off the racket head, etc.). Our Stiga flow racket has held up well. I am buying another one. My boys (ages 13 and 11) both prefer the Stiga flow over the lighter wood handle rackets. The Stiga is heavier but my boys say it has more power and they always fight for right to use it. I prefer the lighter wood rackets for personal use but the Stiga is very solid for outside use and hence I would strongly recommend it to anyone who is keeping their gear outside. I suppose we could bring rackets in and out but that's annoying.

Great buy!

We have really enjoyed the table tennis.

Update Jan 17: tried out the Kettler Halo 5.0 mentioned in another review. Much lighter than the Stiga, almost same weight as regular indoor bat, smaller head size though. I would say get the Kettler if price isn't an issue, much more enjoyable to play with. Pretty solid bat. Much heavier than something like the Stiga Supreme. I wanted something similar to a hard back with more spin so this was great. I play purely for fun at work, but for those that are competitive, I think the rule is that a tournament bat needs to be at least 85% wood, so this bat wouldn't be eligible.

It is weird how much this paddle is good! I bought those and day by day, I really enjoy to play with them! Pros -Spins SO much good for this price! my friends were shocked by my spin and my chops (cuts)! their ball lands in the net almost every time. -Cheap! those are like really cheap. Compared to other products, .their price is unbelievable. -Good handling. It is comfortable to me to play, and makes the whole things much fun. Cons -They look kinda weird, and have only few colors that looks okay. -I thinks Flow is illegal in real games. I'm not sure about that, but even if it isn't, who cares? :) -Play with clean hands. I have a friend who was playing in dirty hands and the handle became really sticky.That wasn't nice. I really love this paddle and if you are beginner, or even intermediate, that's the racket for you. Hope that was helpful. Good day! :)
