Excellent control for the value

While I'd consider myself an intermediate table tennis player, I found this paddle to have excellent control and feel. I play in my basement with my son approx. 4 days/week and at our local table tennis club 1 day/week and this paddle has proved a fantastic replacement for a Butterfly paddle (which had cost ~$80) that was worn out.My style of play involves more use of spin, and this paddle does not disappoint in that area, providing as much as higher dollar paddles I've used over the years. The only 'con', and I hesitate in even calling it that, is that it does seem to get dirtier more quickly than other paddles I've used, but a good cleaning every week or so puts it right back into new shape. Part of the reason for the dirt, I feel like, is the tackiness of the paddle, which as someone who prefers spin, I don't mind.
