MAPOL 4 Star Professional Ping Pong Paddle Training Table Tennis Racket

Dollar for dollar, one of the best ping pong paddles out there. No brand name recognition; initial observation is that its slightly heavier than most other paddles. But all those concerns go away in a few minutes once you start playing and get the hang of the paddle. Slightly less power than I expected, but helps me refine my game to fine tune for control and spin. Had it for a just a couple of weeks and had several folks in my office pool who tried it and also ordered the same. Time will tell if it holds up. But, even if it holds up for just a couple of months, I'll be ecstatic. Was really tempted to go for the Killerspin Jet 800, but glad I saved the dollars. This is my second order, this one for home as my son now wants to play. If I ever feel that either me or my son might need more speed, maybe then I'll look there. This is a no-brainer paddle for beginners and possibly even intermediate players.

I was honestly surprised at how well made and awesome these paddles were. I had my own personal 'fancy' paddle from years ago, and I ordered these paddles for my kids. I was quite surprised when they arrived and they were nearly as nice as my 'expensive' paddle I bought years ago. They also come in a case that zips up so they can remain dust free and protected while you're not using them. They have great padding and an excellent, sticky coating to create some wicked spin! The handles are great quality as well, leading to an overall amazing paddle. I was really surprised at how great the price was for the set (2) of these paddles, and I'm looking to buy them again soon to make sure we have an even 4 of these!

Good quality paddles that got me and my daughter through our ping pong stage. A good affordable step up from the low quality ones you normally find in the big box stores. Good for beginner / intermediate levels. Comfort and functionality as expected.

Play several times per week. Not pro. That said, these have nice tacky rubbers, balanced weight, comfortable handles and offer great control. 2pk set comes with zip case for storage or taking to play elsewhere. Have had first set for several months and no delaminating. So surprised at quality, we bought another set for holiday fam/friends. These are the go to paddles despite having Stiga and new Killerspin. If on the fence, you can't go wrong for the price if even for backup, practice or lend.

Nice and grippy rubber. One of my co-workers even preferred these over his old stiga because of that. The size of the paddle seems to have about 1/2 cm more diameter than the stiga paddles. If paddle size matters for professional play, just fiy 2 for a low price is definitely a really good deal for unsure players to try out spinney ping pong and help decide if you or your friend needs to get baller pro paddles. If it gets dusty, an occasional wet napkin can restore the grip to the rubber I honestly might prefer a lighter paddle. It is definitely quite a bit heavier probably due to the type of wood or size. It feels more likely to callous up your hands. The weight also contributes to making the non so perfect finish on the wood more bothersome, and the edges more sharp and digs into your skin. Your style of holding the paddle might affect this.

I love this paddle more than my Butterfly paddle because of reasonable price and its pretty good quality when I practice from the Robot machine I recently bought this paddle but its weight is lighter than the one I bought 2 years ago. With this light weight paddle , I feel somehow difficulty in spinning, cutting and driving. So I discarded this paddle . I suggest the company , make it little heavier ( same as the one of 2 years ago) and charge price more please . I am willing to buy it for me and for my church team players .

I bought these two years ago and they've been terrific. Good weight, good rubber. I'm a pretty good intermediate player and used to build my own paddles when I was a kid. I recently bought some "step up" paddles. The Killerspin Jet 200 is a bit heavier and plays very well and a Butterfly 401 which is lighter and has a bit more spin. The differences between the new more expensive paddles and the old "cheap" are much smaller than I would have thought. These are good paddles and have lasted well. I'll probably get a couple more.

I'm not a professional ping pong player but I do play casually at work. I needed a couple of paddles since I figured if we have a ping pong table I might as well use it. I play a finesse game rather than power and these paddles are perfect for that type of game as they are fantastically sticky and allow you to put a great amount of spin on the ball. They weigh about twice as much as your typical ping pong paddle so be prepared to be surprised with the wait, personally I really like it, but some people think it's too heavy. I will say I have the go to paddles at work with people always coming over to my Cube to borrow my paddles even those with 80 to $90 store-bought paddles prefer to use mine. I have deducted one star because one of my two paddles broke when I slapped my hand. I tend to slap the paddle into my hand when I do something good or bad and apparently I slapped it too hard and broke the paddle. I don't feel like I slapped it nearly hard enough to actually have broken it so I pulled one star off for durability but in reality that's not typical use of a ping pong paddle and shouldn't cause anybody else any problems. I bought a second pair just in case something happens to my last one I like them so much!

Great bats, specially for defence , good n comfortable grip

Do not purchase. Rackets are good, but it is very poor that they did not come as usable rackets
