This product was solid and the price was excellent. The racquets are a cut above the cheap kind without padding--very good for a starter set. I am really pleased overall with the price and quality. Also included were balls and a net, above average quality.

this is a really good tennis table product. it's durable and you would have a net, 3 free balls and 4 rackets! and its PRINCE!

This set is very good for beginning players because it has dual sides. One side has bumps raised which gives better control, the other has bumps in which allows for more spin. Both sides have sponge, but I only gave it a 3 because of the net. The clamp hinges for the net is a low quality.

While these paddles are usable, they were packaged with the ping pong balls tightly pushed against them and that left indentations in the padded part of the paddle. You can not hit the ball correctly without a smooth paddle. After a week of being opened and used they still had the indentations in them.

Very nice paddles, good quality. should have a set with 4 and more balls. Otherwise, it is fine.

good beginners book covering basic forward hand, backhand, ect. but, does not cover some needed pointers. however, i haven't seen any book that covers all the aspects of each of the strokes adequately. therefore, highly recommended.

This book will tell you everything that you ever wanted to know about how to improve your table tennis game. Easy to read, and has many helpful drawings to illustrate the point being made. Covers the basics as well as advanced concepts. Each chapter contains many drills to help the reader master the different types of strokes and strategies.

I could see that this could be a good book if you were brand new to table tennis and had a coach. Good drills for practicing with similarly leveled players. However, I feel book does not accurately describe how to truely improve your stroke. Descriptions tend to be vague and leave it to the player to experiment to get the result they are looking for. The danger for the player without a coach is that common early bad habits that are effective for begginers will become engrained. Also, the strategy section is not as good as in other TT books.

I found the book to be very helpful and informative. I have just begun playing competitively for the past year and found that the graphics/steps really have helped my game. I'd recommend this book to anyone who is just developing their game. I have bought other table tennis books, but they lacked the graphics this book has, so I am very happy with this purchase.

This book is one of the best book on table tennis that I have ever read. The clear and concise text makes this book very readable. While you may not turn into a table tennis champion overnight, following the instructions by Mr. Hodges by disciplined practice, a newcomer to the sport can learn the game, but it can also be used as a reference for intermediate players to correct their stroke or to improve it. This book is useful not only because it explains the different strokes but it also contains sections on physical training and tactics against different style of play.Table Tennis: Steps to Success is a must-have in any table tennis player's library.

The idea of paying less than twenty bucks for a table tennis racket, well, most of us occasionally serious players really wouldn't want to experiment with it. I mean, the more money one spends, the better his game should be, right? So why buy a $19 racket when you can buy one for a hundred bucks or more? I wanted to see what this could do. The one thing I noticed about this paddle is the control. Much better than any other racket I own. I like to spin the ball. A lot! But I do give up control by purchasing and using those rackets. This one spins but still, I have far more control over where I want to put the ball. Even more control on returning slams. I am impressed and will be using this a lot.

Good solid intermediate TT racket for both defensive and offensive play. Racket is light enough for quick response. Rubber produces enough spin for good control without excessive effort. Racket construction absorbs energy making return shots more predictable.

This was a promotion from standard issue rackets that came with the ping pong table. Ever since I have had this, the quality of my serves, shots and rally's have improved significantly. The amount of spin I get is phenomenal. Also it helps me have better control over where my shots and returns are placed especially with high top-spins. Overall it has motivated me to play the game more often that I have done before.

This racket is only good for beginners, that is, children starting to play table tennis, and adults playing for fun. If you wish to start playing table tennis on a slightly more advanced level, then the purchase of this racket should be skipped.

I bought the Naifu for my son who is beginning to play the sport and not to borrow racket from the gym. I like the feel of the flared handle. This is good racket to begin with becuase it has good control and consistency. Lets you work with your hitting form and power - therefore not depending much on the speed of the rubber but swing of the user. Great for beginners.

Orange Joola 40mm table tennis balls are the best ball that Joola has to offer. They are quite light compared to other table tennis balls which makes them move through the air very quickly, and they are great for beginner and intermediate players. They are very responsive, which makes it an easier ball to play with. Despite their light weight, Joola 40mm balls are rather durable. While most table tennis balls don't have a very long life expectancy, these balls will last for months. Joola upholds their reputation for dependable table tennis balls by using high-grade celluloid. The table tennis balls are checked for performance and endurance at various points of production, which ensures quality performance. With the high quality of these table tennis balls in consideration, it is no surprise that they have been used for national and international competition. They were the official ball of the Europe Top 12 Tournaments in 2005 and 2007, and are currently the official ball of the North American Table Tennis Tour. With a great balance of speed and durability, Orange Joola 40mm table tennis balls are of very high quality compared to other table tennis balls. I would highly recommend these balls to beginners and table tennis connoisseurs alike and would give them a five star rating.

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of these balls. They are as good as most 3-star balls. They are quite fast through the air too. I would definitely recommend this to any beginner-intermediate skilled player.

Excellent product, very high quality. price is also good. Goran Jovcevski from Kumanovo, Macedonia EU

well, I expected these ping pon balls to be better in quality. One was cracked, and a coupe were somewhat misshapen. The others were good.
