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

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.

I’m leaving this review because I once struggled to find the right paddle myself. After buying paddles from Stiga, Killerspin, and ProSpin, I’m sharing my comparison and explaining why this one is worth it. I’ve been playing ping pong for almost 10 years, and I’m confident in comparing different brands and paddles. This paddle is definitely worth the price, and its ratings for spin, speed, and control are spot on. When compared to the Stiga Pro Carbon (Speed: 99, Spin: 100, Control: 80, priced at $100), the performance difference is minimal. The Stiga is built for advanced players and is harder to control. While it might use higher-quality wood and rubber, this paddle is a great option for everyday players looking to improve. A $35 paddle coming close to a $100 one is impressive! There is a noticeable chemical smell when you remove the plastic film, but it fades over time. I also tested the Killerspin Jet 400 ($50), which wasn’t nearly as good. Killerspin paddles generally aren’t worth it unless you go above the Jet 600, although lower models work for those moving to intermediate play. Based on other reviews, this paddle also seems to outperform Butterfly and JOOLA models in the $50 range, though I haven’t tried them personally. Size-wise, this paddle is about 1-2 millimeters smaller than the Jet 200, but the difference is barely noticeable. The rubber on this paddle is more tacky than the Killerspin Jet 200 and Jet 400, despite those being more expensive. While the Stiga Pro Carbon is still superior, the $100 price tag isn’t justified for such a small difference. The only downside to this paddle is the smell, but otherwise, it’s an outstanding choice for the price. Pro tip: clean the rubber regularly with a little water to prevent damage.

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.

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.

These are excellent! The Pro-Spin professional ping pong paddles offer exceptional control, durability, and spin. This makes them a superb choice for both intermediate and skilled players. Enhances control and spin The premium rubber and 2.0mm sponge are engineered to provide maximum spin, giving you a competitive edge. The paddles also have a Durable 7-ply blade. Built with premium wood layers and carbon fiber, the paddles are designed for durability and a consistent, responsive feel. The ergonomic handle is nice. It reduces vibrations and ensures a secure grip, that remains comfortable even during long rallies. Made of quality materials such as a professional-grade rubber and robust construction, which improve both the feel and the lifespan of the paddle. I really liked the color too!

High quality ping pong paddles, good grips, great paddle face for adding spin!

I'm not a professional or anything but these paddles get job done! they are nice to hold and seem good quality

These rackets are amazing and let me generate real heavy spin on the ball for the first time. Here is a list of shots I accomplished with this pro spin racket: Snake shot, Snake serve, Ghost serve, and a lot more shots that require heavy spin
