Review: suitable for beginners - I received it so happy because the courier was so faster than i expected! but then.. I open the pack and the raquet’s quality was so poor.. plastic, small and noisy. I wanted for intermediate but this one was for beginner. Tiny and small. The courier excellent and they refund me quickly. Thank you!

*by C***S on 8 June 2025*

I got a pair for my girls to start learning how to play. They are better than the entry level paddle I started with a few years ago. I hope they take the sport up. I use a Joola pro IV and wouldn’t mind if I had to use one of these for an afternoon set.
