3. Operating Instructions
The STIGA Flow rackets are designed for optimal performance in various conditions. Their construction provides a balance of speed, spin, and control suitable for recreational play.
3.1 Racket Grip
Hold the racket firmly but comfortably. The ergonomic handle design, made from thermoplastic elastomers, provides a secure grip during play. Avoid gripping too tightly, as this can restrict wrist movement and reduce shot control.

4. Maintenance
The STIGA Flow rackets are built for durability and require minimal maintenance due to their weatherproof and shock-resistant properties. The non-detachable cover simplifies care.
- Cleaning: For general cleaning, wipe the racket surfaces with a damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the surface.
- Storage: While designed for outdoor use, storing the set in a cool, dry place when not in use can help prolong its lifespan and maintain optimal performance.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the rackets and balls for any signs of wear or damage. Although highly durable, extreme impacts can cause minor cosmetic issues.
5. Troubleshooting
The STIGA Flow Table Tennis Set is designed for robust performance. Should you encounter any issues, consider the following common scenarios:
- Reduced Performance: Ensure the racket surfaces are clean. Dirt or debris can affect ball spin and control.
- Physical Damage: While shock-resistant, severe impacts can cause damage. Inspect for cracks or deformities. If significant damage occurs, replacement may be necessary.
- Ball Issues: If balls lose their bounce or become misshapen, they may need to be replaced. The included balls are durable but not indestructible.
