PRO-SPIN 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.

Excellent paddle at a very reasonable price. Came so quickly in the mail I was surprised. I’m very hard on paddles and these hold up well.

Okay so I've actually bought this paddle twice before. Now the only reason I bought it twice is because the first time I broke it out of emotion. But, when I got back into playing, I looked at paddles and ended up coming back to this one because it is a great paddle for the price. The build and quality are pretty sturdy. The handle is comfortable and relatively ergonomical. I noticed that the wood is a little soft too so when you're holding it or using it your hand doesn't cramp or get uncomfortable. The design is pretty nice. One thing about it is that it is very light. At least compared to most other paddles. Me personally that makes the experience better for me because it's a lot easier to move with the paddle and to use it. I will say that the rubber gets dirty pretty easy, But it can literally be solved by taking a washcloth or a paper towel putting hot water on it and just rubbing it down.

Great ping pong paddles for the price! I play with my husband everyday...ok that came out wrong! :) We play PING PONG everyday and we were using the cheap wooden paddles that came with the table. We decided to try some new paddles and we were not disappointed. My game really improved and I think am ready for the ping pong olympics...was it the paddles? You decide!

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.

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

Great paddle

Great

Super bon rapport qualité prix. Agréable en main

Très satisfaite de mon achat. Raquette solide, esthétique. Un seul petit bémol une petite odeur qui j'espère va disparaître avec le temps.

Great quality , very happy

It hard to comment knowing I'm not a pro player. But really enjoying his racket and it's style. The price is very cheap for such a good quality.

Muy bien hechas y con la sorpresa de que traen una funda individual para guardarlas.
