hey yall so i finally pulled the trigger on the joola ben when it dropped to like 124.98 which was basically half off and the timer was stressing me out tbh. been using it in my dorm for study sessions and pickup games at the rec center here in austin and its been pretty solid so far, the spin feels way better than my old cheap paddle and i actually won a couple matches lol. only tiny thing is the handle wrap started peeling just a lil after the first few sweaty sessions but nothing major. super glad i caught that deal before it disappeared, my bank app receipt still makes me smile
