MAPOL 4-Star Senior Ping Pong Paddles Set of 2 with 3 Table Tennis Balls

I was looking for a heavier paddle with nice sticky rubber for spinning and I was actually a bit surprised that these two turned out to be exactly that. The weight is something I had to get used to a bit, since I last played with paddles lighter than this. So lots of overshooting at first. But that's by design. Spinning works great. I actually liked the chemical smell after peeling off the foil (that other reviewers noticed) because that meant to me the rubber was really fresh and sticky. Super happy with these, especially at this price.

I have been playing table tennis for several years though I can best describe myself as a decent amateur player. Hence this review is meant based on the perspective of a beginner. If you are a beginner, this is set is perhaps best value that your money can get. The packaging and finish of the product is very good and the included carrying case is very useful. Though paddle is a bit heavy, this may help in an offensive game play. Speed and spin are sufficient for beginners though the limitation becomes apparent as you gain experience. Control is good and best suited for beginners. For most beginners this set is more than adequate but if you are serious about improving your game, you may wish to look at more advanced paddles which of course will cost you a lot 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!

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.

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.

Hands down the Best paddles at a GREAT price ! They are heavier and have great bounce ! They could be charging a lot more for these paddles...

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 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!

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
