The STIGA Talon is a tournament-level table tennis racket built for stellar performance and exceptional control. The Talon introduces STIGA's exciting new Shock Dispersion Tube (SDT) Technology that absorbs vibrations and transfers energy out of the handle, resulting in improved speed, control, and feel. The Talon also utilizes STIGA's Nano Composite Technology—which forms stronger and tighter bonds in the rubber—with ACS Technology—which combines microscopic air capsules in an ultra-light rubber—delivering high speed with maximum elasticity and outstanding control. STIGA's Crystal Technology hardens the blade for increased speed and its WRB Technology increases blade balance, recovery rate, and ball sensitivity. The Talon boasts performance ratings of Speed: 96, Spin: 94, and Control: 90.
