Customer Reviews

Good beginner competition table tennis racket.
I believe the Seemiller table tennis racket is no longer manufactured but for $29.99, it is a good competition racket.

It is well balanced and light with good inverted rubber on both sides of the racket. In good condition, it is a good performing racket. With an anatomical handle and Wakaba rubber. Good strokes resulted and many points gained with this racket. However, once you out grow it, a higher level paddle is great.

The cons, it is light and easily broken. I dropped my racket (on accident of course) from waist high onto concrete and of course it chipped of good chunks of the handle. About 3 weeks later I accidentally hit the side of the table and didn't notice until after 2 weeks of agonizing errors, a tilt across the paddle face when holding it vertical resulting from the hit to the table.

Great!!
I got this paddle a little over 1 year ago. It was my first step up from the cheap paddles that come in 4 packs at Dick's Sporting Goods. My friend had just started to teach me spin and stuff, so he recommended that I buy a butterfly paddle. I did some research and decided to buy this paddle. A year later, I am very happy that I made this purchase. It has helped me to develop my game further and improve my spin and control. It broke a week or two ago, though, which is the reason it lost a star.
This paddle can do everything pretty well. It spins the ball well (much better than my old rackets, though I'm hoping to buy an even spinnier one) and it has GREAT control, especially after using it for a year and getting used to it.
Now, I'm looking to buy a new racket (because mine broke) and will probably be buying the Carlos Chiu racket. Overall, I would reccomend the Seemiller racket to any begineer/intermediate player who is looking for a solid, all around paddle.
P.S. It also slams the ball great.

Purchased mine from amazon for $27.99
This was my first paddle, other than the cheap sportscraft 4 paddle value packs. Fortuneatly I purchased my seemiller from amazon.com for $27.99, not all that long ago...I was shocked when it was raised to its current price of $39.99. Anyway this is still a great paddle, you cant beat it for the price. If this paddle is not just as good, then it would deffinately be second to the carlos chiu and senshu paddles, and personally I think the seemiller would compete with both. If your debating between the three, this paddle is really the way to go, you wont be upset.I thought paddle really shines (for me) about 2 feet from the table. I can consistently hook the ball in mid air, and keep the ball in play on those running dive desperation shots. The seemiller also has exceptional control when using top spin on those low returns, or the high loops. I would probably rate it speed: 70, spin: 80 control 88. Then again, Im not a pro, but I have been putting some serrious hours in of practice, and research. Remember dont trust product ratings, trust informative reviews...Product ratings can be decieving!
******BOTTOM LINE: IF YOU ARE ANYTHING FROM A LOW INTERMEDIATE PLAYER, TO A NEW BEGINNER, DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND BUY THIS PADDLE!******
