How to choose a table tennis table

Simple tips to buy the right table tennis table

With so many table tennis tables to choose from, how do you pick the right one for you. Not just the right one, but also the best for you.

There are certain things to be considered before buying the right table.

• Beginners and Recreational players – If the table is to be used by professional players, then a high quality table is the right option for you. However, if it is for recreational players who want to play for fun then you can choose to buy cheap table tennis table to cater to your needs.
• Indoor or Outdoor- Another very important thing to be kept in mind is if you want to keep the table inside or outside. Outdoor table tennis tables have a thin aluminium coating which makes them resistant to moisture and warping. Outdoor tables also have wheels so that you can easily move it from one place to the other.
• Space for the tables- If you want to play table tennis for fun at home and not play it in competitions, leagues or pennants then buy a mini table. These tables are usually the same height as a normal table, but have smaller playing surface. So keep smaller tables for fun, and if you are serious about competing, don’t spend too much time on these tables then.
• Stationary and Roll away tables- There are stationary tables for every level to play and are generally more stable than rollaway versions, but a stationary table can take more space. In Rollaway tables, one can easily fold up the two halves of the table with the help of a chassis on wheels. Once the table is folded, simply wheel in into its position or into storage.
• Quality of Table Surface- The quality is very important and the thickness of the table is the prime consideration for a consumer.
• The material used to create the table surface is important because the bounce and elasticity will have a huge effect on the performance of the players.
• Table dimensions are very important if you are a serious player as you will want to buy the table that meets the ITTF standard.
• One needs to ensure that the table will have good paint so that the line does not fade away (side line, end line and the centre line). Besides, the paint gloss level, abrasion resistance will impact on the speed and spinning of the ball as well.
• Make sure that the table has good strong legs and supports.
