The bats and the balls are very good for family use. We bought the bat, so that our children can gain their first experience in table tennis. For this purpose, ranging from the bat, especially since they are fairly easy even for children. The low weight and the relatively thin reference are for adults, however a small disadvantage because you have to use more force to bring the ball over the net. For a more advanced stage, therefore, recommend more professional racket (and also more stable balls). If one looks but something inexpensive for your home, you are pretty well served.
