There is no dearth of claims put up by different manufacturers to sell their Ping Pong tables. The price ranges from a few hundreds of dollars to thousands of dollars. However, contrary to the popular belief, you can also afford a quality Ping Pong table in the low range. In this post, we will highlight a few things to take note of before buying your Ping Pong table.
- Foundation: – The most important thing in a Ping Pong table is the legs. The legs provide stability. If you intend to move around the Ping Pong table quite a lot, then the legs need to be of superior quality. We highly recommend you to opt for legs leveler, as they will help you to elevate the table to approximately 20 degrees. They can easily be screwed in and out.
- Surface: – The quality of a Ping Pong Table is important for quality gameplay. You want the ball to have a standard bounce. And it is even more important to check for warping. This can be done by checking the table from all angles. Surprisingly, there is no official rule for a particular surface. It can be made of any material as long as the bounce is consistent with 23 cm when a table tennis ball is dropped from a height of 30 cm.
- Indoor or outdoor gameplay: – Ping Pong table for both indoor and outdoor gameplays are built with different raw materials, especially for the surface. For outside gameplay, the table needs to withstand fading and warping from the extreme weather. Even the legs need to waterproof and rustproofed. Of course, you will be required to pay more for a better quality table.
- Net: – The net comes in various assemblies such as the ones permanently fixed to the table, spring-loaded or the ones which require hand tightening of the screw clamps. Most manufacturers provide a minimum of 30 days’ warranty to the nets. The one in dark green and dark blue color looks aesthetic.
- Skill Level: – It all comes down to your goals. Are you a beginner or a serious pro? The cheap ping pong tables are usually made for recreational activities and fun and not for the performance.
The most important aspect of the table is the tabletop thickness. If you desire consistent bounce for superior gameplay, then you need to opt for intermediate or advanced level Ping Pong tables and they will cost in thousands of dollars at least, if not more.
Undercarriage
The tables need to have a decent undercarriage also. The rollaway table is perfect as it can easily be dismantled and assembled often by a single person. Most tables often require two people.
