Ping Pong Tables

Table top thickness: Indoor tables can be 15mm, 18mm, 22mm, 25mm or 28mm. In order to have a correct ball pot it must be at least 15mm thick and the thicker it is the better the quality of the pot, professional tables are usually 22 or 25mm which is normal although there are some manufacturers that use 28mm.

Structure of the legs and trolley: There are more basic tables that use more fragile round tubes and more robust tables that use square tubes that can be 30x30, 40x40, 50x50 or even more.

Wheels for the transport of the table: There are several types of qualities, there are the more fragile plastic wheels and the metal wheels with bearings and rubber which are more robust and can be of different sizes depending on the size of the structure of the table.

Type of net included or that can be adapted to it: Many models of professional tables do not include the net and it has to be bought separately, there are different types of ping pong nets, they are with a clamp system that can be easily assembled and disassembled or with a threaded system that stays better fixed, the best quality are the metallic nets with fabric mesh and incorporate a tensioner to tighten it and a thread to regulate its height to comply with the regulatory height, there are other types of cheap plastic ping pong nets without tensioner although for the difference in price they are not worth it.

Frame around the table top: There are tables that do not incorporate a frame, although they are not recommended since the function of the frame is to give strength to the table top and prevent it from deforming. The frames are usually 30x20mm, 40x20, 50x20 or 60x20, the larger the frame the more resistant it is and the higher the quality of the tabletop.

Security system: It should be taken into account whether the tables are fitted with security locks or latches when they are folded for storage so that they cannot be opened by accident, and the quality of these locks.

All tables with trolley and folding tables can be used to play table tennis in fronton mode, as one of the two tabletops can be left folded up and the other can be opened and the net mounted on it.
