Joola Carbon Table Tennis Bat

Speed is good but spin is bad

Mycket bra, bättre än mitt stiga racket

Joola zou dit batje moeten verkopen zonder rubbers, Dan had ik er meteen 10 van besteld. Handle is goed voor grote handen, Controle en snelheid zijn perfect, Joola Rhyzen CMD in 2mm op de forehand en Joola Rhyzen Fire in 2mm op de backhand, En dus eventueel een Tibhar Vari Spin 1.8mm op de backhand, ik heb 5 van deze batjes. Joola Rhyzen CMD in 2mm aan beide kanten is ook een goed idee. Zeer tevreden met de Joola Rhyzen rubbers.

The bat meets the expectation in terms of speed and control. Using it is an enjoyable experience...

We were ordinary beginners, 1 hour a day players with standard paddles for 2 years. We were getting really consistent and wanted to step up a level. These looked like the best value for quality - and that’s exactly what they are. …BUT… At first they seemed wayyyyy too slowwwww and wayyy too spinny. “Too much sponge!” we thought. No. No. No! They are *great* intermediate paddles but you need to figure them out - and all that requires is practice. How much practice? It’s been about 5 weeks today and… *EVERY* aspect of our game has gone up. We are much more controlled in deep play, much more dangerous cutting and driving in the short game, tenacious blockers in the defensive game… and of course more annoying servers. All of it is better. Better than that: all of it is a ton more fun. We just crack up at the crazy things we can do now. We did try a different brand first, but they reeked of plastic, so we sent them back. These paddles are virtually odor free. That said, the soft rubber is almost certainly loaded with softening agents which, as a biochemist, I do not want on my skin (nor yours). Solution? Easy: get yourself a golf glove for your paddle hand. Perfect - plus you do get a nice grip this way - just like you would in golf. Score that. Highly recommend. Oh, and to any haters who snub these paddles as “not pro quality?” Don’t be simple. OF COURSE these are not “pro quality!” Haha! They also don’t cost $200! What these paddles are: great for taking a step up from standard paddles without breaking the bank or buying more than you can use. When these eventually wear out? Good news: we will peel them, get a set of Butterfly rubbers, and give these blades plenty more life. Ka-ching!
