JOOLA Infinity Balance - Advanced Performance Ping Pong Paddle - Competition Ready - Table Tennis Racket for High-Level Training - Designed to Optimize Spin and Control

It only took a practice session with the racket to appreciate the impact of a good racket on the performance of a player. I discovered my old racket was actually working against me. I found every word of a particular review that inspired my buying the racket to be very TRUE. Being a beginner/intermediate player that prefers versatility to over-reliance on a specific tactic, I believe the racket compliments my approach and hope it catapults my tennis performance to higher stages in the near future. I might become an ambassador for the maker (Joola) in the future , who knows?

I have been playing table tennis at a serious club for two years, including taking lessons and playing in tournaments. (I am usually one of the worst players,-better than most people in an office or bar, but not up to serious amateur table tennis standards.) and have been using an off-brand paddle. I saw this was on sale and was available with a green face, and thought I would upgrade. Unfortunately, it was not an upgrade. I only used it one time, but it was both slower and less accurate than my cheap (but pretty good) MAXMVT paddle. And that one day I used it, I felt a wobble in the handle like a loose tooth while i was playing, and next thing you know, one side of the handle came off in my hand. It was just barely glued to the blade. So while Joola is a respected brand name, this paddle is not one of their better products, and quality control is pretty low for the handle to be so weakly glued together.

There is a long deep mark on the rubber. I thought it will even out . Chips on the edge of the rubber. Returning it.

The rubbers are not bouncing well enough.

Played exactly one game and the handle came apart. Trash.
