They&#8217;ve got an array of designers from around the world. The colours on the paddle are a little less vibrant than the images on the website, but they look solid with crisp lines. They print surprisingly well on pips. The blade is a nice light wood, with a smooth finish.<\/p>\n<h2>Performance<\/h2>\n<p>The paddles are short pips with very light grip. If you&#8217;re a competitive player, it takes some adjusting. Speed-wise it&#8217;s also on the slower end. So if you want to play with them, they could be suitable for recreational play, though you&#8217;ll have to put a little more wind-up into your swing to get some juice out of them on your smashes. They&#8217;re probably ideal for rec players.<\/p>\n<h2>Custom Designs<\/h2>\n<p>The paddles I got were from their designer line, but they also do <a href=\"http:\/\/uberpong.com\/custom-paddles\" target=\"_blank\">custom<\/a> ones. It&#8217;s pretty cool that they can take it directly from your <em>Facebook <\/em>or <em>Instagram <\/em>accounts, or you can just upload them directly. These would be fun pieces to take along with you to any of the SPiN Galactic bars!<\/p>\n<p>Check them out at <a title=\"custom ping pong paddles\" href=\"http:\/\/www.uberpong.com\" target=\"_blank\">uberpong.com<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I decided to check out some swanky designer paddles from Uberpong, a custom blade company based out of Austin, Texas.
