PRO SPIN Carbon Ping Pong Paddles - Penhold Short Grip, Premium Table Tennis Rackets with Carbon Fiber | Professional-Level 7-Ply Blade, Premium Rubber, 2.0mm Sponge | Rubber Protector Case

Good quality worth the money

Good starter to intermediate level paddle, decent rubber providing with good spin as well.Will definitely buy this again if I need more!

This is a decently good beginner penhold ping pong paddle. Though the rubber is not top-tier, its quality is definitely better than the ones you could get from department stores such as Target and Walmart for the same amount of money. It is decent and gives you good spins. The edge around the short grip is not smooth and when you play for hours, you'd feel it hurts a little. You can just use fine sandpaper to smooth out those edges. The only thing I am still getting used to is the sound when the ball hits it - it sounds a bit hollow when I am playing defense, I guess it's because it's carbon fiber rather than the typical wood. It's lightweight and for some reason I feel like I have more control with it than using my custom-made paddle with Chinese rubber. If anyone who like penhold paddles, you should give it a try and it is definitely better than the ones you'd get from department stores.

updated 1-26-24Pro-Spin responded to my comment very quickly and they offered and sent me a replacement paddle a few days later. the new paddle's edges were not sharp and thus is more comfortable for pen holder player to use. as a further recommendation, I commented to Pro-Spin that if they can design/make the edges even more rounded, then I would pay a bit extra for that feature alone. 👍very few pingpong handles are designed for pen hold style, so I was very thrill that this pingpong paddle said it was designed for pen holder's grip. unfortunately, the edges were very sharp and it bites into the index finger. it was too painful to play only after a few minutes. I tried to sand down the edges, while it helped some, the edges were just not round enough and it still cause painful bites. I gave it a 3 stars (instead of 1 star) because the rubber action for spins is very good. I am disappointed overall though, too bad,,,,,

I found this paddle to offer a very good balance of control and power. For the price I consider this to be an exception value. I’ve been playing table tennis for more than 20 years and have my share of disappointing paddles so this is a welcomed exception!!

My son love it. Very good quality

This paddle is nice and thick. I don't have the most experience with different paddles, but the ball seems to jump off of this paddle pretty nicely. I don't have to put a ton of power into my swing to get a good pop on the ball. The rubber is pretty grippy and the weight is pretty on par with my other paddles.However, the one big issue with this specific paddle (penhold grip version) is that the exposed edges on the blade are extremely sharp. They haven't been sanded down at all which makes the paddle quite painful to play with as a penholder since the thumb and index finger curl tightly around that part of the blade. I had to manually sand down the blade just to make it more comfortable to hold. I may end up using a router and roundover bit if I find it needs a lot more rounding out of the edges.For the price, I think it's a nice paddle and as long as you're able to knock down the edges (with sand paper or a router), I'd recommend getting this paddle.
