This paddle set has the "quad-fecta:' good spin, speed, control and rubber. While it ranked high with other paddle sets that I have tested, I ultimately went with this one because the price was the most budget friendly.
The amount of spin a table tennis paddle is able to put on the ball depends entirely on its surface. Spin is generated when the paddle momentarily grabs or hugs the ball, so softer and tackier surfaces are best.
Harder rubbers don’t provide spin. This is why some ping pong paddles have two different sides that play different. This is especially common with custom ping pong paddles. The softer, smooth side provides the spin or grab while the harder rubber can provide speed and power. Depending on the paddle, you could also have a ribbed or pimpled side that provides the control/grip.
The thicker the sponge the faster the paddle. It’s just that simple. Faster paddles will have a sponge about 2 millimeters thick. Conversely, if you’re looking to slow your opponent down and play a more defensive oriented game, look for a thinner sponge.
The rubber also plays a role in ping pong paddle speed. The universal rule is that harder rubbers play faster while softer rubbers slow the game down (and provide a degree of spin). So, if you play an aggressive style of ping pong, are always on the attack and never pass up an opportunity to hit a game winning passing shot - then a harder rubber may be for you.
As for control, typically, table tennis rackets with high speed and spin levels tend to have a low control rating. The higher the speed, the lower the control - that’s the best way to think of it. Ping pong paddles with super speed and spin require the player to provide their own sense of control. Essentially, if you’re good enough to play with a racket that has a speed rating of 115, then you’re probably good enough to apply control and defensive tactics on your own without any help from the paddle because you’ve mastered technique and form already.
The rubber on your paddle is what brings the whole thing together. It’s what gives your paddle the rating it gets for Spin, Speed and Control. Good rubbers will last 80 to 100 hours or a year for casual players. If you’re more advanced and play on a daily basis, 6 months is more of a realistic time frame before your rubber “goes dead” or loses its grip. And once a ping pong paddle rubber goes dead, it’s done. You can’t get it back, it’s to time replace it.
A great package! Nicely weighted balls. The paddle had very grippy rubber. I felt the paddles were a bit on the heavy side compared to my other paddles like stiga. My novice friend played with them and became instantly competitive!
Nice improvement over basic paddles. Really like the foam binding around the edge of the paddle. Paddles play well. Not overly fast, but gave a good sense of control. Case is nice, though paddles can be tricky to put in their spot while the rubber is fresh and tacky. The protective sheeting on the paddle rubber can be a little difficult to remove. The balls claim to be 3 star, but do not feel like it. They feel off, too light, a bit dead. Overall, pleased with the paddles and would consider for future replacements.
Having only played ping pong a few times, I was looking for a set of paddles that were a good value to be able to teach my young daughter how to play. I chose this set because I didn’t want to just buy a cheap set of paddles but wasn’t looking to spend a whole lot either. I love that it included balls and a storage case. This set is well constructed and I was very pleasantly surprised by its value. These paddles seem to be good for people first starting out but also a serious ping pong player. I am extremely happy with this paddle set.
What a great set! I bought this to use in my classroom for reward time. I have a portable net I can put across desks when we push them together and create a ping pong table. I was surprised how durable the paddles feel. These seem well made and look like they will last awhile. It even comes with a carrying case my students can put everything away in when it’s time to clean up.

UPDATED: Great paddles. Very good feel. Great grip for getting spin. Can't beat them for $20.
My original review was the information above, which is still accurate. One thing to add is the amazing customer service. I had an issue that was out of the company's control but they quickly went above and beyond to remedy the issue. Outstanding.
Pretty good starter kit, and really nice price point. Good for someone who is a starter and want to get a feel feel of ping pong!
These paddles are great! They are built with high quality materials and are very sturdy to use. I especially like the comfortable feel of the paddles grip. It makes me feel in better control during a game. They are perfect for both kids and adults. The storage bag is especially great for keeping things together. Especially the balls!!
The paddle works great. It's not too light or too heavy. I haven't played ping pong for a while and was kinda growing out of it. But this paddle set and balls have succeeded in bringing my love for the game back. I recommend it.
We bought this set as family activities and had so much fun with it! very good quality and it comes as a set of four pandles with balls. Great products and my kids love it.
