Taking care of the things we love is quite important. This holds true for the smallest things that means world to you just like my ping pong paddle Stiga Pro. Let me share a quick story with you guys. Last week we had a family get together at our place.
So we decided to hold a friendly ping pong match. Just when we were going to start, I went to my garage to bring my ping pong paddle. I was shocked by what I saw there! I saw my paddle all greased up with the car oil. I don’t know how but my car’s oil bottle was all empty and my ping pong paddle was soaked up with grease.
It took me several hours to clean my entire paddle. The lesson I learned that day is that not only expensive jewels are made to be kept in cases but these paddles are too as this will prolong their playing life as well as would allow experiencing its newness every time you play!
There are Hundreds of products available in the market. Lets compare our Top-4 products against each other to give you side by side comparison.
Now you can feel me! I decided to buy a paddle case right away after that incident and asked a few friends along with a little research on the internet myself. I came across many funky and yet stylish paddle cases and wanted to buy the best for my ping pong companion.
I am going to mention few ones along with their price list and customer reviews to make it more handy user guide which can serve you as a one stop hub of information.
You will all agree to the fact that in case you are going to purchase sports item, you usually goes for one of the three things, which are quality, brand repute and price. I have highlighted the following top 3 choices by keeping in mind all these user purchase intentions
Best Ping Pong Paddle Case:
1. Killerspin Barracuda Ping Pong Paddle Case
The Killerspin Barracuda Ping Pong Paddle Carry Case is a strong rough and tough polyester carry case which is suitable for carrying up to two rackets with an availability of a versatile ball pouch.

This case is oblong in shape which helps in protecting the ping pong cover from rubbing against the corners of the case or the edges of the outer zipper. This feature is quite important in increasing the durability of your ping pong paddle as rubbing might affect the paddle rubber
Adding to its quality construction that its polyester is padded with sufficient amount of foam which helps in reducing dings to the wood or other stuff while moving around. Also, it has an inbuilt exterior loose pocket which helps in carrying ping pong balls or even your car keys and stuff like that.
The space left in these pockets are intended to serve as a protector against paddle dents. It’s a comfortable pick if you have allocated a budget for your ping pong paddle separately. It is available in three classy colors for user preference i.e. Red, Royal, Black with catchy Killerspin logos.
2. Killerspin Hard Table Tennis Paddle Case
This is another product from the top market leader Killerspin. It is a top Rated oblong Semi-hard (Firm-Soft) red and black stylish ping pong paddle case that has a capacity to store twp ping pong paddles and two ping pong balls at a time.

The large pocket inside the case has a very usable unique facility of elastic ping pong paddle fasteners for a complete grip and fixing of the paddles on the place. Its semi rigid polyester makes it good resistant against any damages even if the pressure is applied from the outer surface of the case.
Its extra added red wrist gripping feature adds to the case usability. This paddle case is ideal for intermediate players who want to hold multiple rackets for tournament matches or even training sessions.
The only downside that I feel is that this paddle case doesn’t have extra side pockets for storage facility. But anyhow, you can always utilize the case inside as there is an adequate amount of space available because of its semi hard surface where you can place your ping pong balls easily
3. Duplex Case
Duplex cases fall in the category of those who have relatively a tighter budget. But that doesn’t mean that it is low in quality too. This blue paddle case is made up of one of the most flexible materials called foam padded nylon which dead set against any type of wear and tear and is completely water-resistant.

With its simple design and stuffing foam interior, it comes along with very handy additional accessories with a unique ping pong ball pouch and wrist grip for convenient carrying facility. You will be surprised to know that Duplex is one of the recently introduced brands in the sports market yet has made its name among top market leaders within this industry with is good quality and extremely affordable price.
An additional lucrative offer is that the manufacturer is offering 100% money back guarantees for complete satisfaction of customers in case they are not satisfied with any of the mentioned feature.
The only downside it is facing right now is its carrying capacity as it can carry just one ping pong paddle along three balls.
4. Butterfly
It is another economical choice from one of the renowned manufacturers of ping pong products. This case comes with a high quality double zipper and has padded interior from front panel and back panel of the case for increased level of paddle protection.

It is also a medium had case which can has a storage capacity of one paddle with plenty of space inside the case for placing ping pong balls. It is made up of long lasting material that offers a good shield for your paddle against harmful particles and saves your paddle from stains and dust that roughens the paddle rubber surface.
The thing that might turn users off from buying it is that it doesn’t come with any holding strap for paddle due to which the paddle is not placed in a fixed position and keeps rubbing against zipper and walls of the case. This might not be very ideal for regular or professional players.
5. JOOLA Ping Pong Paddle Case
If you are someone looking for very high quality spacious paddle case this is another one that needs to be added in our top list. As it from JOOLA which are one of the most famous and sports winning partners in world championships, it has a very top quality when it comes to its durability.

One of the downsides reported by the customers is the quality of zipper used in the paddle case and it stuck when opened or closed.

It is cushioned with good quality sponge to protect the paddle placed inside. It also features portable hand grip that makes its mobility easier. It is made with a water resistant nylon material.

Different Types of Ping Pong Paddle Case
With that said, to select the right kind of paddle case you need to evaluate the paddle case with respect to the following aspects of design, material used in their construction and the price.
As a matter of fact it is quite possible that a very attractive paddle does not necessarily mean it offers what you need. Therefore, few other factors that you can evaluate are size and the shape of the paddle case.
Generally there are following types of ping pong paddle cases available in the market:
- First type is a Soft paddle case that is of the shape of racket. (Warning! It should be avoided at all cost as per its material it doesn’t protects the paddle so well). The racket shaped paddles usually do not provide insulation.
- Medium soft rectangular paddle case widely known as oblong shape paddle cases and these cases provides maximum spaces and they also offer insulation foams inside their inner cloth that increases the paddle protection
- Hard rectangular paddle case which also provides a good protection against paddle dents and pressures
