The paddles that you find at any of the sports equipment retail stores are definitely low-end. They aren’t much good in the first place and they go downhill with use. There are actual table tennis on-line stores that carry excellent equipment, and their prices vary from moderate to very pricey. Their lower end paddles are outstanding compared to what you would buy at Sports Authority.

Here are the websites: , and. I am a club player and most of our members buy our paddles through these sources. Their service is excellent.
