STIGA Pure Color Advance table tennis racket, Pink, 5-ply blade, 1.5 mm sponge for speed and spin

The STIGA Pure Color Advance in pink is a beginner-focused performance table tennis racket that blends increased speed and spin with eye-catching color and precise control.

The Pure Color Advance is built to give players stepping up from recreational play a clear advantage: a responsive 5-ply blade, STIGA Crystal reinforcement for added speed, and ACS Technology in ITTF-approved smooth rubber for lively bounce and spin. With a 1.5 mm sponge and three-star rubber, it balances power and touch so newcomers can develop aggressive shots without sacrificing placement.

How does this racket improve my shots compared to a basic paddle?

The Pure Color Advance upgrades key components—blade construction, sponge thickness, and rubber composition—so each stroke transfers more energy and spin while remaining predictable. Beginners notice faster drives and better loop response without a steep learning curve.

• 5-ply blade for stability and consistent feedback
• 1.5 mm sponge adds speed without losing control
• ACS microscopic air capsule rubber increases elasticity and spin
• Crystal Technology hardens the blade for quicker rebounds

What playing attributes can I expect from the Pure Color Advance?

STIGA rates this racket with a Speed of 75, Spin 65, and Control 65, indicating a clear tilt toward faster, spin-oriented shots while retaining solid placement ability. It’s tuned to help players develop offensive strokes that still allow measured returns and rallies.

• Speed 75 supports aggressive drives and counter-attacks
• Spin 65 helps you generate topspin and sidespin in loops
• Control 65 keeps serves and returns predictable during rallies
• ITTF-approved smooth rubber ensures competition compatibility

What technologies are built into the racket and why they matter?

Two STIGA innovations are key: ACS Technology embeds microscopic air pockets in the rubber for added elasticity and grip on the ball, while Crystal Technology strengthens the blade for greater rebound speed. Together they create a blend of responsiveness, spin potential, and durability.

• ACS rubber increases surface elasticity for spin and speed
• Crystal hardening boosts blade rebound and shot power
• 3-star smooth rubber and 1.5 mm sponge balance touch and tempo
• High-quality materials reflect STIGA’s long-standing craftsmanship

How should I use this racket to get faster improvement?

Practice focused drills that exploit the racket’s strengths—short serve variations, topspin loops, and controlled counters. Pair training sessions with feedback on placement and spin rather than just raw power to build technique that leverages the racket’s performance profile.

• Work on topspin loops to feel the ACS rubber’s grip
• Practice serve-and-receive patterns to refine control
• Drill controlled counter-attacks to use the increased speed
• Combine multi-ball reps with match-play to test consistency

Who is this for: The STIGA Pure Color Advance is aimed at beginners and improving recreational players who want a competition-ready racket with noticeable speed and spin gains, plus an attractive pink finish. It suits players moving beyond basic paddles who want equipment that supports development of offensive strokes while keeping enough control for reliable rallies.
