The Peace Maker ALC - Professional Ping Pong Paddle - Carbon Fiber Table Tennis Racket Producing Maximum Spin & Control for All Levels - Hard Carry Case & Ergonomic Handle.

Excellent paddle, seems well made and quality materials. If feels sturdy and powerful when striking the ball like it has the correct mass for the job. The color is cool and gets some stares and conversations when attending my local ping pong "club". The grip of the surface of the paddles grips the ball well allowing you to spin the ball however you want. It comes with a very nice carrying case as well. I would recommend to casual players like myself.

I recently got The Peace Maker ALC Professional Ping Pong Paddle, and I couldn’t be happier with my purchase! This paddle is a game-changer, offering outstanding spin and control that enhances my gameplay at every level. The carbon fiber construction feels incredibly durable and allows for excellent performance on the table.I also love the ergonomic handle, which provides a comfortable grip during long play sessions. It's clear that a lot of thought went into the design, making it not only functional but also a pleasure to use. The hard carry case is a fantastic bonus, keeping my paddle safe and ready to go whenever I am.Overall, I give this paddle a full five stars! Whether you’re just starting or competing at a higher level, I highly recommend The Peace Maker ALC for its quality and performance. It truly makes a difference in your game!

This is a somewhat difficult review, because the paddle is very good, but I think that at this price point it should be better. Also the way that it was advertised was a bit confusing to me.These AirBlades paddles are unique in their hand-grip designs. I find that they are comfortable in my hand (I am right handed and use a shake-hands grip), although they make "twiddling" more difficult. Twiddling, i.e., spinning the paddle in one's hand to sometimes use the black rubber and sometimes use the colored rubber face, is more important if one has different rubbers on paddle face, but the rubbers seem to be the same on both faces of this paddle -- apart from the color differences of course. Still, the manufacturer did not say whether the rubbers are fastened with glue that is meant to be permanent, or if the rubbers are meant to be replaced when they wear out. I would hope that the rubbers are replaceable.I would also hope that the rubbers are replaceable because the rubbers that are provided do not have the ITTF (International Table Tennis Federation) logo. This means that this AirBlades paddle would not be legal in any official tournament. At this price point, I would expect ITTF-approved rubber; it's available on many other pre-built paddles in this price range.The paddle is fun to play with. It offers good control and good spin -- and will continue to offer good spin as long as the rubber is maintained (I recommend rinsing off dirt and washing off body oil from the rubber after playing, drying, and storing the paddle in a plastic bag or with specialized rubber protectors inside the case to limit oxidation and to maintain the rubber "stickiness"). The manufacturer did not provide maintenance recommendations with the paddle.With the carbon in the paddles and the rubber, one might think that this is an offensive paddle, but I find that it is more oriented towards control. Balls do not bounce or rebound as fast off of this rubber as they do off of some of my other paddles (I have ten -- various brands, some with carbon and some all wood). This means that I find this AirBlades paddle is best suited for someone who prefers to play closer to the table and relies more on shot placement than pure speed and power to defeat an opponent.I have the "men's" version of this paddle also. When I got the women's version, the website said that this paddle had a "smaller handle," there is no difference between the two paddles apart from the color of the rubber, a different stain in the wood handle highlights, and different-colored stitching on the case. I thought that there would be more of a difference between the two paddles.To summarize, the paddle is good. It is fun to hit with, but would not be approved for tournament play in which equipment was examined. This latter point is disappointing because at this price point I feel that I should be able to play anywhere with this AirBlades paddle.

I have three of these paddles, and I got this one for my daughter, since it's billed as a "Women's professional ping pong paddle." She's new to the game, but loves it. However, she doesn't yet know as much as I do, so I'll do this review.I played with the paddle myself, and was absolutely thrilled with it. The rubbers, both forehand and backhand, are responsive, grippy, consistent and high quality.The AirBlades have a curved handle that is unique to their brand, and you can tell that it fits well and comfortably into your hand automatically. I find that it also makes it so that the paddle is automatically cocked for my forehand attacking shot, due to this handle curvature.The one drawback is that, if you like to twiddle -- the trick of spinning the handle in your hand to reverse the forehand and backhand rubbers -- you will find this paddle makes that a bit more difficult to do.I meant what I said at the top. The AirBlades Peace Maker ALC is, indeed, the best value in a table tennis paddle on the market today! For less than $100, you get a paddle that plays every bit as well as one at four or five times that price. I know, because I've played with such high-end paddles.As a table tennis player who plays at a pretty high level, I observe that good equipment is essential, and you will NOT go wrong with AirBlades. I love them, and I play only with them now!Recommended!

This ping pong paddle says it's for women, though I don't know what makes it a 'women' paddle (maybe the pink letters on the case?). In any case, this paddle feels very premium, the paddle surface is very grippy well made. Even the small letters imprinted near the handle is crisp. I've never used a paddle with a curved handle so that took a little getting used to, but I got used to it really quickly. Because the curve, the grip feels good and secure since it contours with the palm of my hand and fingers. It gives an impression that the handle is smaller, which I think it actually is compared to the paddle I used to have. But also because of the curve, there is a 'right' way to hold the paddle (red side as forehand). When i hold it the other way, the handle feels too small because it curves away from my palm. I think the handle will come down to personal preference. I've concluded that it doesnt really matter to me. A normal handle will be just as good as this curved handle. Overall the materials used and the build quality seems excellent and it is a joy to use. This is probably the fanciest paddle I've every owned.
