does the rubber of the paddle peel?

In the long time frame like 6 months playing everyday, yes it does. It is expected some point.

After 3 months of moderate (1 hr/day) use and hard hitting the rubber still holds good. No visible signs of tear anywhere else as well.

Mine has not in 3 months, after using it just about daily for 30 minutes to an hour a day.

No signs of any peeling at this point, it will eventually I'm sure but holds out really well for the price

I have this paddle and is lighter than most that I've used. Produces very good spin if you like hard rubbers

pretty much yes, from my experience once on, if you try to peel off will come off in pieces. but probably wouldn't hold up if wet or washed

I've been using mine for a little over a month with no peeling, and I have taken it out of the case several times.

Before buying my 5891, I read of this 'sticking paddle' problem. Since buying, what I have been doing prior to baking, is rubbing a little oil ( butter, olive oil or whatever edible lube is close at hand ) onto the stem. My paddle has not yet stuck.

Yes it does and when the rubber grip wears off it does not work , thank you

My paddle is metal,looks like stainless with a non stick coating. Have owned the Lello 4080 for at least 6 yrs, the paddle looks brand new.

Not at all. I bought it around Christmas and its used a lot and no peeling at all.

I received one, which is what I was expecting. It's a decent paddle. I play against my high school students, and it works as well as any paddles they bring. The surface is sufficiently sticky to make spinning easy.

That basically described me when I bought it. I'm playing a little more often now, but it still suits my needs. When it starts to get dirty, a little water restores the tackiness to the rubber and allows a good amount of spin to be put on the ball. My only complaint about it is that it's not real durable. Rubber starts peeling back from the paddle at the slightest touch on the table.

No, it's just one double-ended paddle. It comes apart & attaches in the middle.

I've been using this setup since Dec 2011 playing 2x week for 3-4 hrs at a time and its held up fine. No separation of the top sheet from the sponge layer or any separation from the actual blade. The rubber isn't as tacky as when I first bought it but theres still plenty of tackiness. I wipe down the rubbers with a damp cloth in between points when playing and after each use to keep the rubbers tacky. I also wrap it in Saran Wrap when not playing because the rubber is a lint/dust magnet. Just a bit of care keeps this paddle working just fine.

No...The paddle is pretty good and it's a heavy mid range paddle. For the price you can't beat it. My rating is about 1800 and I'm very aggressive player. This paddle is just a bet slow for my attack game but perfect for my backhand defense.

Sorry, don't remember. Best guess- No. I have bought paddles a couple times, and have a spare in the kitchen drawer. I probably just used my old ones when the pan arrived. BTW, replacement pan is fine.

We have had ours about seven months and used it a couple of times a week and have had no issues with peeling.

Unfortunately there is none. I had this paddle for less than a year & I'd only used it for a few times. I don't like it because it's pretty weak on top spin & bad on control. After all, I wouldn't recommend this paddle to anyone.

No, I have had no peeling. It stands up well in the slots. I would purchase another one.
