It's a ping pong paddle. What do you expect?October 30, 2008 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Without question, this is a giant step up from the 2 for $10 set my wife bought for the kids. Aside from that, if I were good enough to tell the difference, I'm sure I'd want a much higher-end product. Since I'm not that good, this is certainly a decent "racquet" for the price.
This Racket is a Step UpOctober 24, 2008 This paddle is pretty much as advertised. It has enough grip to it to enable spinning and will speed up your game. I think it is a great value for someone who wants to get their first racket but doesn't want to spend too much on it. Three of us purchased this and we seem to stay in the game with those that spent $100 or more on their rackets.
Great spin, but falls apart too easilyOctober 17, 2008 This is a nice first racket and you can easily get some very good spin with it due to the handle and sticky flextra grip. Although due to the relatively cheap design, the racket rubber fell apart too easily and would not recommend this racket since cheaper Butterfly rackets lasted longer.
Good speed and spinOctober 13, 2008 I liked it but only after a practicing a while. This has got a very good speed and spin.... And as mentioned in the specs, control is one thing you need to get comfortable with. Its a little heavy paddle as compared to others but that helps in getting more speed to the shots. So use it for a while and you would start liking it... It might give ur game an edge over others. Ideal for medium level players.
Good paddle and shipped fast!September 30, 2008 I ordered my paddle on a Tuesday and received it the following Monday with free shipping. This is a very good paddle for the price. The best of its brand and on amazon its only $44. Every where else it is 49.99 or 59.99. Overall its a great buy but make sure you get it on amazon because its the cheapest place on the internet.
