Ping Pong Paddles – ITTF Approved Professional Table Tennis Rackets with Carbon Fiber for Superior Control | 7-Ply Blade, Premium Rubber, 2.0mm Sponge

I don't normally write reviews, but I felt I could speak to the quality of these rackets. I'm a highschool teacher who leads a Table Tennis club. After a year of using some cheaper rec paddles, I wanted an upgrade so I bought the two pack (blue and violet) for myself and another student. After a couple of weeks to adjust, I noticed a huge improvement in my game. Looping shots were easier to place and my serves picked up extra spin and speed. My coworker has a pricier Stiga pro carbon, and I felt this racket compared favorably with it. Compared to other high end rec rackets, these are easier to control with about equal grip and slightly less power. After 6 months I tried upgrading again to a Joola Infinite Overdrive (70 dollars on Amazon as of this writing) but actually switched back to my Pro Spin after less than a week, as the Joola was too hard to control. After a year of play, both my racket and the one I bought for my student have held up well, with just a few small tears in the edge of the rubber due to striking the table during play. I have recommended these to several more of my students who wanted their own rackets, and they have all been happy with their purchase. If you are curious about the different colors, ITTF (the governing body for Table Tennis) allows violet, blue, green, and pink to be used as the other alternate color on the racket. the only downside to these rackets is that they lack ITTF certification numbers in the rubber, meaning there may be an issue if you were to try and use them in a tournament, but if you are looking to practice some of the more advanced techniques like looping or driving, these are a great place to start.Update: After a year and a half of heavy use, the rubbers on the purple racket had become worn out. This is not at all unusual, as heavy players will regularly change their rubbers every few months. But here in lay another pleasant surprise: the rubbers on these rackets are replaceable. I can't emphasise how unusual this is. Most pre-assembled rackets use a heavy duty super glue which is impossible to remove, but these seem to have used the same one I use to assemble custom rackets. To remove the rubbers, you need only to tug on them and they will peel right off. This gives you the option of keeping the blade while upgrading the rubbers. I replaced the purple rubbers with the old ones from my custom paddle and it unlocked a whole other gear on the racket. (if you're unsure how to do this, there are dozens of helpful YouTube videos). It truly makes for an added value, as the racket otherwise would have been thrown out. Instead, it plays better than it did brand new.

Love the paddle. Enough spin control and weight to have fun with coworkers at lunch break. This is my second one, unfortunately, I fractured the handle so I needed to replace it. The rubber is quick and allows you to control well for a fair price.

The padding on the paddles are amazing. It allows myself to hit crazy spins on the ping pong ball. Allows for great power and swings. The paddle feels really durable and it comes with a carrying case which is cool.

A coworker bought a Pro Spin Carbon paddle and I liked it so much that I recommended it to a couple of other guys I work with. So I ordered a two pack on their behalf and when they arrived, I was bummed to see that the rubbers were blotchy, as you can see in the two photos. I reached out to the company, who was terrific, and they offered to send out two new ones, which were much better, however they still had a little blotchiness. But for the price I am not complaining, as I don't believe it affects the performance. I am an advanced player with a rating of 1500 and have used $300 paddles that have terrific spin, speed, and feel. Don't think for a second that the Pro Spin Carbon is in the same league. This however, still plays fantastically, with a good level of spin and speed. One note is that if you are a beginner, this Pro Spin paddle may be a little too fast. Beginners should always use a slower paddle which helps control their shots and master the fundamentals of good strokes. You may find that this paddle is a bit heavy, but I assure you that you will quickly become comfortable with the weight. This plays considerably better than my $40 Stiga Saber paddle that I bought 10 years ago.However, one downside to this paddle is that it is not ITTF approved, which means if you wanted to play in a tournament, it would not be allowed. All it means is that it doesn't have the embossed ITTF insignia on the rubber. It is only an endorsement, and not a reflection of quality. Pro Spin has just chosen not to pay for that certification by the federation to give its seal of approval. I kind of don't blame them. But if that's important to you and you want something a little bit better, a good step up paddle is the Joola Infinity Edge sold from $33 to $44. Make sure to look for the black and red rubbered version. It has the red handle. I say that, because weirdly, they are also sold with 2 black rubbers, which is also not ITTF approved. I can tell you from personal experience that the Joola has considerably more spin, more feel and possibly a little less speed. It is a superior paddle that any intermediate player will really enjoy.

Nice quality paddles for cheap. Can get some really good spin on them. Like the feel. Highly recommend

Best paddle I have ever used. Adds spin and is very solid

Meets reasonable expectation. Good for beginners.

Nice ping pong paddles! Solid quality and great ball control. Quality you can actually feel! My kid told me the same!

Super bon rapport qualité prix. Agréable en main

Très bon Correspond à la description

Veramente fatte bene!!! Passando da una coppia di racchette di scarsa qualità mi è sembrato di "essere su un altro pianeta". Inoltre, imparando a studiarle e ad usarle, si possono eseguire "colpi" fantastici soprattutto con effetti.

Great quality , very happy

Ottime
