Hello.  I want your opinion on the balls and the paddle I have.  I don't have the money (or means of transportation) to get a new one, but I wanted to know what you thought of these (for now).  My paddle is an EastPoint eps 3.0, and the balls (for training) are EastPoint one star pack of 36.  Thank you!  I am interested in buying a paddle (possibly from you guys) but I just don't have the money for it now (i'm 15).

Hi Nikolas,

The bat and balls look OK for a beginner level and to first start playing you strokes.  You will find that the bat will not last very long as far as your development is concerned.

Hello Nikolas,

I to use the EastPoint EPS 3.0 and find it as a pretty good bat for the money. Just make sure you clean it after you are done playing and or practicing because the rubbers tend to get dirty pretty quick. The EastPoint balls are not bad either but watch out with the 1 star balls. Some of them have a small crease where they bond the 2 half's together.

Thanks Steve! I have been trying to get a better paddle, but can't afford the price.  Know where I can get any cheap, relatively decent paddles?  And as far as the balls, I have noticed the same thing with them. I have seen the crease on a few of the balls, so i try to stay away from those ones.  Thank you!

HI Nikolas,

As long as the bat has some sponge under the rubber and the rubber has some grip then it should be OK to start with.
