We compared two 2-player table tennis bat sets: the PRO-SPIN Table Tennis Bat Set (2 Player) and the JOOLA Duo Table Tennis Set (2 Bats, 3 Balls).
What we looked at
Rubber, handle, balls, cover or case, and price. The JOOLA listing gives little detail beyond its title.
The verdict
If you want a set with a 1.8mm sponge, triple-sanded handles, three 3-star balls and a storage case at the lower price, the PRO-SPIN is the pick at £22.99. If you would rather pay £2.91 more for the JOOLA name with 2 bats, 3 balls and a cover, the JOOLA Duo is the alternative, at £25.90.
A £22.99 2-player set with a 1.8mm sponge, three 3-star balls and a case.
A £25.90 6-piece set with two bats, three balls and a cover.
