Joola Carbon Table Tennis Bat

This bat is incredible for a newbie such as myself. It gives extreme confidence on attacking with a lot of spin, be careful playing against an opponent also using this bat as it makes for some awkward returning (but some amazing in air acrobatics by the ball as it dances backward and forward). The bat is quite "solid" if you are not careful a gently tap can easily turn in to a rocket return. It does take a little getting used to but it is extremely comfortable, very well balanced and provides a lot of confidence for anyone using it (it was loaned to a number of people to play with even those had never played before). Good luck.

It's great to learn proper strokes with this bat because it's slow and has lots of control. It couldn't hurt being faster though. The rubber is nothing special either and I wish it would have more spin. For the price, it's a great starter bat to learn with but people will quickly grow out of this bat in no time.

Well I don't know a lot about T T bats as I just like playing the game for recreation but these bats are amazing. They look very much like my well used Coinilleau bats they replaced but are lighter even though they are slightly thicker. I used them for the first time today and I have never hit the ball with such confidence before. There is a hollow sound when striking the ball and I don't know what to say except after a short time of playing I was sure I would achieve the shot I wanted to play and invariably did, weird and amazing.

It's a table tennis bat! Not much else you can say about it, but it's excellent value for money and does the job well. Better for players of a reasonable standard as it applies spin well but also takes it when applied by your opponent!

I don't often write reviews but this needs one!! After being out of the game for a good 8 years I thought I'd treat myself and WOW! I probably play better now then I ever had....( I had Devon Trials as a youngster too) Simply great built bat and excellent value for money!! BUY IT!

The good points I found: - Pretty light and feels good in my hand - Performance wise, it's indeed quite good in sense of control and managing incoming spins - Solid rubber which allows to send back good spins too The bad: - Despite having quite thick padding - it sounds and feels like there is not much padding at all. Almost sounds like hitting bare wood. Maybe this is the price for the "control" but I still can't get used with the sound. If you are ok with the sound and "wooden" feel - then it's good value for the money.

Everything fine 👍

The blade is too light making the attack less aggressive. The forehand and backhand rubbers lack stickiness which negatively affects the spin. Not impressed with it as it didn't suit my style of playing which is based on attach and max spin. Overall it is a good bat for a beginner to start with.
