The Martin Kilpatrick Cyclone Ping Pong Paddle is designed for ping pong family fun and is the second step in the MK Racket Series. The Pips-Out surface will offer a little more speed and spin than the sandpaper surface of the MK Thunder Racket. Sharp, crisp points and longer rallies generally result from 'Hardbat' racket play. The Martin Kilpatrick (MK) Racket Series is designed so that each racket is an inexpensive and natural transition to the next racket. From no sponge to sponge and from pips-out to pips-in, the MK Series covers all the bases as you progress. Want to take a greater leap, check out one of the Butterfly Racket Series. PLEASE NOTE: Like most recreational rackets, this racket is assembled with a glue that is intended to keep the surface permanently attached to the wood for the life of the racket. If you prefer to have the ability to upgrade the surface when it becomes worn, please check out the Butterfly Pro-Line Racket Series. More speed, more spin and the ability to upgrade.
