Choosing a Table Tennis Table by PingSkills

In this video, Alois explains some of the important considerations when buying a table tennis table. The thickness of the top is extremely important. The thicker the top, then the better the bounce will be. You also need to consider what type of net to get. Portability and ease of packing up and setting up can be important to many people, as well as how much storage space the table takes up. The Paddle Palace Pro Staff agrees with the team at PingSkills on their analysis for what to look at for a great club or tournament table.
