The world of [competitive ping pong](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pongbot-pace-s-series) is heated to say the least, so to intimidate your opponent you might want to put an order in for a Game Face Paddle, which you can customize with your meanest game face. Crafted to [game regulations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blitz-attack-racquet), the Game Face Paddle can feature two different images: one can be lighthearted and inviting, while the other is brooding and competitive (depending on your own preferences, of course).

While some might interpret the Game Face Paddle as a little goofy, it's clearly a winner for those who want to intimidate their opponent without having to say a single word. Even before the game starts, a flash of your customized Game Face Paddle could scare off potential players.
