Equipment, gear, and accessories used in table tennis (ping-pong) are the primary concerns of this portion of our web guide.
Although table tennis was derived from tennis, there are quite a few differences between the two sports.
Since this is the shopping area of our guide, we will focus on the products involved in the sport. Additional information and resources for table tennis can be found in the corresponding category within our Sports & Recreation section.
The table, net, balls, and racket are essential for table tennis.
The table is the centerpiece of any table tennis game. Regulation tables are 9 feet long, 5 feet wide, and 2.5 feet high, with a net dividing the table into two equal halves. Tables are available in various materials, with high-quality tables made from wood and composite materials providing a consistent bounce.
Butterfly produces high-quality tables used in international competitions. Stiga and Joola are other manufacturers of table tennis tables.
Table tennis paddles consist of a wooden blade covered with rubber on one or both sides. The blade's design, weight, and the type of rubber used significantly affect a player's performance. Paddles are classified based on their speed, spin, and control ratings.
Butterfly is a well-known manufacturer of paddles favored by professional players. Other leading manufacturers are Double Happiness (DHS) and Killerspin.
Table tennis balls are made from celluloid or plastic, with a standard diameter of 40 mm. The balls are rated by stars, with three-star balls being the highest quality and used in professional competitions. Nittaku, Xushaofa, and Joola offer table tennis balls.
The net and post set are essential for setting up a table tennis game. The net should be taught, and at a height of 15.25 cm above the table surface. Quality net and post sets ensure stability and proper net tension. Butterfly, Stiga, and Joola produce table tennis nets and posts.
Paddle cases, table covers, ball pick-up nets, and training robots are accessories that might be used. Newgy specializes in table tennis robots used for advanced training.
