JOOLA Infinity Balance - Advanced Performance Ping Pong Paddle - Competition Ready - Table Tennis Racket for High-Level Training - Designed to Optimize Spin and Control

The paddle is definitely an upgrade for any intermediate player. It has good spin and speed but not the speed as marketed. I will rate both spin and speed at 75 which allows for good control. It is certainly worth the price.

After 20 years of not playing a table tennis I thought this racket would be nice to start with and I wasn't disappointed. Also, a couple days later I ordered Joola infinity Edge, which positioned itself like a more performance and more professional one than this. The quality of these two is really good for a price. I found that the Edge is heavier. After measuring it, it turned out that the difference was 10 grams only, but somehow I can feel it. Infinity balance is indeed is a a bit slower, but it's really good in terms of control and spin. So, imo it's a really good racket for an intermediate player.

Balancing everything around, in the same time goes whenever you want to give some power back defensing mode.Just received it last Tuesday before going to the training I am trying to keep it up with some colleagues.Its keep going over and over to return the back to the other side.When I received plenty of attacks and powerful balls from colleagues. Tried to counter attack them. Some of the balls did gave me a chance and left me back the point in the surprise of the hitters who were little shocked that I was trying over and over to counter attack the ball.In some shots, I managed to hit it with good power. The reflection impact was powerful spin. As if this racket is having a very strange magic behind it. But it was a good feeling. I will try it again next in my training.In the first minutes I hold it, it had a strange feeling. But after 10 minutes I felt its like a part of me and supporting me in my training and game.Good racket.Yah - Counter Attacks really good. I had some shots that hit even was extremely hard for me to reach the ball in killing angles under the table and the net. But when I kept trying to reach such very extremely hard balls played against me, some of my hits with this racket even because its really BALANCE made a very strange magic made the ball hit back the white edge line of the top tip of the net and made it fall drop shot in the other side where it become impossible to reach it back. With a very small nice spin to guarantee the point back for me. Although I thought it was impossible to reach such very hard balls.Some of my colleagues play really very bad sharp angles shots and spins. But this racket helped me to defend my status little. Specialy shots was hit with very sharp angles intending to injure me even under the table tennis table itself. But this racket even sometimes supported me somehow to hit back the ball to the other side. I 'd say it will hit back and keep defending to counter whatever is thrown attacks.I will keep trying it.

Great value, fast shipping. Grip good

you will never go wrong with JOOLA

Improved my control of certain shots.

Paddle had great grip, good padding, but the moment it was put in play, the edging started to flake off. Quality was not there for a Joola paddle

The Joola Infinity Balance (JIB) surpasses all other paddles (bats) I've played. Beginner sets (usually four paddles and some balls) are almost worthless. Paddles in the $10-15 range are an improvement, as are paddles in the $20 and up range. But the rubber alone on the JIB justifies the price: the surface is "grippy," allowing significant spin to be applied to the ball. The multi-layer construction also generates more velocity on impact compared to paddles of lesser quality. I would not recommend the paddle for beginners (they may have trouble keeping the ball in play due to the inherent speed generating characteristic of the paddle) but highly recommend it for intermediate players looking to step up their game.
