As the great saying goes, practicing to achieve perfection...
So you want to get good at table tennis, but you don't have a table, but stop right there and don't purchase the first one you see, while there is greater than meets the eye. Don't read manufacturers slogans, claiming they have the very best table tennis table on offer, and if you're a novice go into the lower end from the market, pros need professional tables, beginners need beginner's tables; learn to walk before you run. The first decision you need to make before embarking on a table tennis table purchase, is whether you'll need a stand alone table, which will be a lasting fixture, or perhaps a foldup table, to clear some space when it is not being used. Obviously it has a big affect on which table will suit you, and of course, the initial purchasing cost. There's two portable options that are foldaway ping pong tables, not to mention, tables on wheels, that allows them to be moved out the way fairly easily. The next thing you need to consider may be the thickness. Each player has their very own preference, and unless you're a professional, it likely won't make to much impact on you, but it's still important.
Professional level tables tend to be around 25mm thick, although you'll be able to gather exactly the same affect while you are gaining knowledge from anything 19mm and thicker. The 25mm will feel slightly thicker, and tends to have a cleaner bounce than a desktop that's just 19mm thick, so choose carefully, try not to spend over our limits! Go for quality, obtain a table having a high quality top and ensure it's sturdy supports, table tennis tables don't hold many pounds at any one time, but if your serious, you'll hopefully be using the same table within the next few years. Obtain a good stable table round the 30 inch mark, which is professional standard. If you are buying a secondhand table, bear in mind the most important factor is the table top, so if this really is past its sell by date, then same with the table. But exactly how would you assess the excellence of the desktop? Well the table tennis rule of thumb is, hold a ball 30cm above the surface and let go. The ball should bounce roughly 23cm over the surface. Check across different sections of the table, and when it differs greatly, the table top and that particular table is really a goner!
