Infinity Overdrive

I had some experience with table tennis long ago but I got the passion for tot back and this paddle is definitely the tool to get back on track and make you better. Only con was that one of the rubbers was coming off and then stick back, but now needs to be glued back, which is not that bad, but tells me about some quality control opportunities, it is normal. Overall definitely worth the purchase imho. BTW paddle is very speedy and spiny, will definitely make you learn the basic technics well. Also update after a few months of use. It is beat up now and I had to glue the rubber back which is normal kinda, but have to tell you the quality is well worth the price comparing to more expensive models from all best sellers on Amazon, it definitely feels expensive and screams quality to me, but rubber glue… might have just dried or something else. But this bat is pro level and well worth the money!

Good quality. Fast paddle

Strong: -Amazing Spin -Great counter attacker -Fast/Hard hitting speeds Weak: -Rubber shows wear. Edit: upon research, I found out that these rubbers are pre-stretched from factory giving a higher tension aka faster speed or hit when attacking or returning. This is normal and even professional understand that flaking on the edges means that you have achieved a stretch and lose no performance on the blade if flaking happens. -Just slightly heavier than most stiga blades (about 20-40 grams). Thoughts: (I am on the right of the video and I made sure to include my error to be as real as possible; sorry for the quality of video, I couldnt do anything about it). I am a beginner with no experience in ping pong, however I always loved the sport as a kid and my intentions of becoming the best at my local workplace lead me here. So how does it perform? I would say its a very strong 4-5 star depending on who you ask. It is slightly heavier than the Stiga $50+ blades, but holds up to $100 stiga pro carbons and Killerspins easily. I love this sport so much that I went ahead and spent $200 on a professional custom blade and jumping back to this blade, it really holds its value. For the price I paid for I am happy with it and I actually plan to upgrade the rubber now that I know more about ping pong. This blade will easily last you years if you take care of it. My advice is that if you already bought this blade, and are curious to see what it feels like to have a custom professional blade, all you have to do is purchase DHS Hurricane Neo 3 or Nittaku Fastarc G1 rubber and you will feel the difference. You will easily rival many. Also fun fact, some professional in the top 100 still use $40 blades and just change the rubber. I hope this helps and please rate to help others 😊

This paddle is unbeatable for the price. I’m not an expert at table tennis but I can tell it’s head and shoulders above paddles I’ve tried in this price range. It’s got a great feeling in the hand, great spin and power from it! Clearly high quality too. I’ve bought several of them already.

I'd never come closer in games than 11 points with my friend. With this paddle, that was the worst I did scorewise. I managed to get my first game point on him ever, but I eventually choked and lost 23-25. It was fun to hear him comment and see him defend against me like he never had to before. The paddle clearly made some difference in both my game and confidence. It puts some wicked spin on the ball! You will want to get some paddle cleaner as this paddle's surface attracts dust, hair, and such during use. I am very pleased with this purchase.

This review has been updated: The first one I received (Joola Infinity Overdrive ) had a crack on both sides of the blade. I noticed this when I replaced the rubber. I was very disappointed and contacted Joola. I sent them some photos and they quickly acknowledged it was cracked. They sent me a new one right away!!! I really like this racket!!! Rubber is better than that on my my premade Stiga pro carbon. And the rubber on this Joola, in contrast to the Stiga pro carbon, is easily replaceable -not made with a mess of glue like most premade paddles are constructed. Based on my, albeit limited, experience, the Joola premade paddles are the best out there, especially if you are beginner-intermediate looking to continue to improve your game. And the easily removable rubber allows you to experiment with other rubbers. Good going Joola!

As an intermediate, recreational player, without any prior exposure to above-average blades, I kinda had high hopes for this one, not knowing what to expect. I was not disappointed. There's a learning curve and it takes considerable time to master its quirks (I'm far from there yet!), but your game is going to improve so much, you'll notice performance upscale every single time you play! The tackiness of the rubbers is very prominent and gives your spins such a deep curvature, you wouldn't believe it! Smashes are seriously accelerated, no matter how hard you go; I estimate a 10-15% in power generation and I might even be conservative. What really lifted my game off though, is control. Is it the 7 layers of the blade, the selection of rubbers, the harmony of putting them together? I don't know. But that particular combination, improved my control immensely: 9/10 smashes successfully returned, as opposed to 6/10 with an generic blade. Being a penhold player, I didn't find any issues with the blade's weight: it's very well balanced, sturdy but not heavy, and easy to handle. Overall, I would estimate at least a 50% improvement in my game. Very happy with that purchase!

Good P-P paddle for high intensity play. I have used for 2 wweks now and love it

Nach knapp 10 Jahren pause hats mich dieses Jahr wieder gepackt - Ich spiele seit einigen Wochen regelmäßig Tischtennis mit diesem Schläger und bin sehr zufrieden damit. Wer zum ersten mal Spielt vor hat nur gelegentlich zu spielen und keine Vorkenntnisse hat wird wohl nicht all zu viel Freude daran haben denn den Schläger zu kontrollieren ist extrem schwierig und gewöhnungsbedürftig. Der Ball wird sehr schnell und reagiert auf die kleinste Bewegung im großen Maße, zudem sind angedrehte Bälle in der Verteidigung nur mit ausreichend Erfahrung zurückspielbar. Da ich selber sehr gerne schnell und mit spin spiele habe ich große Freude daran. Wenn man weiß worauf man sich einlässt ist es ein super Schläger, ansonsten Finger weg.

Non sono un professionista ma la differenza con una racchetta meno costosa è immediata. La pallina va dove dovrebbe andare, che non è poco.

Avec la raquette il offre un coupon pour des balles gratuites . mais malheureusement quand on choisi ville Le Canada n’apparais pas dans la Liste donc incapable d’avoir les 6 balles gratuites! Pour la qualité de la raquette par conte elle est de très bonne qualité.

After getting used to the lively bounce, I've found this a nice responsive paddle - light in the hand with great shock absorbance and a satisfying sound. It's double black, so not competition compliant, therefore it's only worth getting if on sale. I got mine just over half-price which is a good deal for the quality! The rubbers are responsive and fast. The handle is a little shorter than average, so not suitable for large hands. Great bat though.
