JOOLA Infinity Edge - Tournament Performance Carbon Technology - Black Rubber on Both Sides - Competition Ready - Table Tennis Racket for Advanced Training - Designed for Speed - Light Blue

I want to say that the Joola Edge is an excellent paddle! I have two of these now and think they're great! I've been using the Joola Overdrive, Strada, and Edge paddles for the past three years and in my opinion the Edge is the best overall. The other paddles are good too, but loose their edge over time (pun intended). The rubber on the Edge holds up and remains grippy while the others get slicker and require more maintenance. The Overdrives is slightly larger and heavier and has a bit more speed, but the Edge is my preferred and is a fine paddle for the intermediate player. With the carbon fiber layers the paddle is lively and has good offensive play. With it I am able to keep up with players using many other name brand and custom paddles. The one weakness I've encountered is that over time the rubber, or I should say the foam, detaches from the wood around the perimeter. It seems to be a common problem with all of the Joola paddles I've used. Some of it is the fault of the players making contact with the table. When the separation occurs I reattach it using a very thin layer of E6000 adhesive, applied with a toothpick to both the wood and foam. After gluing I use a spring clamp to hold it overnight. It's well worth a few minutes of repair time to keep this wonderful paddle in service!

Great paddle. I'm not expert enough to give a detailed account, only that it was an upgrade from the paddle I'd been using for last five years. The handle fits my hand very nicely. The rubber was twice as sticky as my last one.

I liked the play of this paddle but I found that it frayed around the edges quicker than others I have used.

If you want to beat all your friends this is the way to do it. Forget about those cheap wooden office paddles this paddle blows them out of the water. For a good price you’ll be hitting shots with so much spin you and your friends will be questioning the laws of physics. The grip, control, design, and comfort is phenomenal and it’s light in your hands. If your worried about the price it was worth the shocked look on my opponents faces and the feeling of glory as I held our tournament trophy.

I bought this for my son. He just started playing ping pong during his first semester in college. He loves it. Like any good novice, he is learning what he can do with a quality paddle. Since he got the paddle, he plays everyday.

Premade rackets in table tennis are a contentious topic. After having worn this and a couple other premade rackets to the bone before upgrading, here's my take. There are a couple breakthroughs in the sport, and arguably the most exciting and pronounced learning curve is with spin. Once you start learning about it, you may want to upgrade your paddle to something more conducive to spinny shots. However, beyond beginner paddles, your money becomes worth much less buying premade paddles rather than assembled paddles like with ColesTT. The durability and consistency you should expect from an (intermediate) $50 paddle is much less with a premade paddle than something made from individual components produced by different suppliers. Also, if you want to upgrade in the future, Joola premades use annoying glue to attach the sponge and rubber that takes ages to remove and may damage the blade in doing so. Thus, you might feel the urge to buy a new premade paddle once you get to that point. That is, if the paddle survives that long. Save yourself the trouble of premades and look into services where people assemble the paddle for you. The premium is often negligible and worth the benefits. If you're extra adventurous, look into building your own paddles. That gets expensive quick though... Good luck!

I just started playing ping pong and had bought a good but less expensive paddle that had worked well. I wanted to see how the next models up felt and played and believe me, there is a difference. The paddle plays very well and feels very well balanced in my. I am not sure which one I like more, this paddle or the idoroz. Both are great choices for the price.

Great spin off very “sticky” rubber. Maintained its stickiness well.

This bat doesn't feel any better than the cheapest bats in the market.

My Child 10 year old loves it. Very happy with the performance. Note both sides are black in colour which he was annoyed about. But otherwise it’s definitely worth the buy! He likes the grip and the power it delivers.

Beginner to Intermediate level - grip is a bit off for me - played only once, will update after a few hits and see if it improves

Good product abd has a good grip when you use it. I am happy with it.
