This is the best value in elastomer-covered rackets that are especially suitable for outdoor play. These types of rackets are weather resistant—sun or rain will not harm them. The blade and rubber covering are molded in one piece so the two are permanently bonded together. The handle is a soft elastomer that is comfortable in the hand and can be securely gripped even when wet. And these rackets are extra durable, easily outlasting many traditional wood + rubber rackets. The covering provides decent spin, but not too much. Perfect for controlled play in recreational or educational environments.

Indoors, these rackets are ideally suited for instruction for PE classes or other group instruction for recreational or novice players. They are immune to the typical problems of traditional rackets where students tear off or damage the rubber or handle. They even incorporate a special handle design that guides the correct placement of the fingers around the handle and blade. And the handle suits both youngsters and adults alike. Their special coverings allow all strokes to be taught, even spin-oriented ones like loops, serves, and banana flips.

 

Lastly, these Softbats are made 100% from recyclable materials, so you’re helping the planet with every purchase. These make wonderful, long-lasting gifts for anyone starting to play ping pong or who is content to play recreationally. In your choice of bright colors—green, blue, or red—with contrasting black trim at the handle. Very distinctive coloring. The best value you will find in an ultra-durable, colorful, and good performance racket.
