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.

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.

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’ve been using this for the last three days, and I can assure you that it is an excellent tt racquet for the price! * It came back in a very clean looking, professional, black box. Unboxing was a pleasure! (Without using any unnecessary plasticky material, it was all thin cardboard). Nice protective clear plastic sheet covering the rubber surfaces. * It is made for players who use spin, period! You get great control, getting the ball from various angles. I was surprised by how nicely it would catch even the edge of the racket and land on the table as intended. If you are upgrading from an entry-level racquet, this will be a big upgrade in the air, play, accuracy, spin, and speed. * Compared to my previous racquet, this has a slightly heavier feel in the handle, feels a little more comfortable. * I haven’t tried too many fast shots/smashes yet, we’ll see how that works out. Why I took away one star: * The rubber surface attracts a lot of lint, which gets annoying after a while (see the third picture I uploaded above). Extremely hard to clean window. It has been only three days since I got it. * The nice looking black case that comes with the racket is a little too snug, I keep worrying that pushing it inside the case might peel off the edges of the rubber surface of on the racquet. If only they could make the case a little roomier in the next version, that would be awesome! All in, as noted above, it is a fantastic racquet for the price and you can’t go wrong with it, especially if you are upgrading from an entry-level piece. Hope you find this review, helpful!

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

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

Meets reasonable expectation. Good for beginners.

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
