FAQs
What is the primary difference between this bat and a beginner's bat?

How often should I replace the rubber?
The rubber should be replaced depending on usage. With frequent play, you might need to replace it every 6-12 months. Signs of wear include loss of grip and control, and visible damage to the rubber surface.
Can I use this bat in official tournaments?
Yes, the STIGA Pro Carbon+ is equipped with ITTF-approved rubber, making it suitable for use in official tournaments and competitive play.
How do I clean the rubber surface?
Use a clean, damp cloth to wipe the rubber surface after each use. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
What is the purpose of the protective bat cover?
The protective bat cover helps to protect the rubber from dust, debris, and environmental damage, extending its lifespan and maintaining its performance. It also offers convenient storage.
Troubleshooting
The ball feels inconsistent or unpredictable.
Check the rubber surface for dirt or damage. Clean the rubber with a damp cloth. Replace the rubber if it's worn out or damaged.
