Purchased two as Christmas gifts for my grown sons in an effort to improve their games. Mine too. We are very much a ping pong family. We all found the paddles difficult to use after using stock paddles for many years. The ball bounces off the paddle and hardly requires a swing from the player. Really hard to control the ball. We are a little disappointed and probably purchased the wrong paddles. We like a speed game and less of crazy spins. Anyway, really a fan of Killer Spin (our table), but should have done more research before purchasing this paddle. Too late to return and try others. I’m sure my issue is more with the players than the paddles. Quality is great, but it’s just not for our family of players.
I like the fact your selection was not over wellming it is just what is needed.
I play with a lot of spin -- like to bend the ball every direction. It is amazing the amount of control I get with this paddle! The feel is also exceptional. The paddle has a distinctive sound when the ball is struck. Sounds more live than my Stiga paddles. The Jet 400 Smash N1 has taken my game to the next level. Table Tennis is more fun with this paddle.
