Ping Pong is one of my hobbies. And I enjoy testing different kinds of ping pong paddles. This set is a really good one. The rubber can control the ball very well and the handle is very comfortable, smooth but not slipping. If you want ping pong is your most favorite hobby, I would highly recommend considering this one. But if you just want to play ping pong for fun, considering its price, it might not be a good choice.
