Bottom Line

Whether you're new to table tennis or have pro-level skills, this set has everything you need for your game – well-made components, plenty of rackets and balls, and a reassuring 60-day warranty.

Pros

This complete set features 4 paddles with sturdy flared handles and 5-ply blades capable of excellent spin, speed, and traction. Comes with 8 top-quality balls and a tough carrying case.

Cons

Rare incidences of the blade backing coming unglued. Some owners noted a strange odor upon arrival that tends to fade over time.

Bottom Line

Most players who are looking for a complete set for the game will find the JOOLA, a trusted brand in table tennis, to be both affordable and practical for their needs.

Pros

Packed with accessories needed for the game, this is a family-friendly JOOLA set that comes with 4 paddles, 10 balls, and a handy carrying case with compartments to keep everything organized.

Cons

The build of the rackets feels less durable than some competitors, making them more suited to beginners and hobbyists than serious players.

Bottom Line

Aside from a few quirks, this is a quality table tennis set made by a reliable name in the industry that backs the product with a 30-day warranty.

Pros

Generates enthusiasm from players who love the sturdy build of the paddles and the spin they are able to achieve. Surfaces also provide good traction. Set includes 4 paddles and 6 balls.

Cons

The rubber coating around the paddle edges has the tendency to peel off with typical use. The texture of the handles is somewhat rough. A few owners thought the balls could be more responsive.

Bottom Line

Though there are a few minor concerns about the handles and balls, you'd have a hard time finding a lower-priced set with better paddle design or performance.

Pros

In addition to the rugged 5-ply blade design, these 4 paddles have well-made nips-out backings that deliver superior performance and don't seem prone to peeling like some costlier competitors.

Cons

Though the handles feel smooth, they have been known to develop occasional mild splintering. The set comes with 3 balls, but they are on the flimsy side.

Bottom Line

Not the best choice for more than 2 players; otherwise it's a decent JOOLA set with a case that's even more impressive than the paddles and balls.

Pros

Stands out for the impressive case that has a thick foam insert that provides extra protection for balls and paddles. Comes with 2 nicely constructed paddles and 18 well-made, responsive balls.

Cons

A few players gripe about the lack of spin produced by the paddles. Some quality control issues have been reported – missing paddles, broken balls upon arrival.

A great indoor game for the whole family, table tennis is also a game that tests reflexes and coordination. Table tennis sets will contain a decent quality set of bats, or paddles, for four players, as well as balls. You will need to provide the table and the net. Bats should always be red or black, and in a set they will likely be the classic hard paddle style – as you get more serious, you can choose from a range of grips and blades (which is the solid part of the paddle, which can vary in weight). When choosing a set, look for name brands like STIGA, Eastfield and JOOLA.
