How to Choose a Ping Pong Table?

There are 5 major things to acknowledge before choosing the right table for you and many other minor ones but let’s take brief insights on the most important ones.

1. Are You Looking For an Indoor or Outdoor Table?

The first thing to determine is whether you need an indoor or outdoor table? This is probably the easiest because it’s a matter of either-or but don’t worry; this article contains both!

2. Confirm That You Have Enough Space

The second thing that you need to be certain of is ensuring that wherever you have intended to place your table has enough room for it. The last thing you want is to find out that you don’t have enough space in the room or playing is horrible with the limited space. Take a look at the numbers below, and then confirm your intended area!

The optimal space for a table tennis table haves 6ft (2m) behind the table and 3ft(1m) on the sides. This means that the room needs to be at least 22ft (6.74m) long and 11ft(3.525m) wide.

This is because when you put a full standard-sized table into a room of that size, it is left with 6ft (2m) behind the table and 3ft(1m) on the sides.

It is possible to play in a room slightly smaller than that; however, personally, I wouldn’t recommend that because your skills will improve, and a small room would limit your game to progress at a maximum rate. Ultimately, it’s a personal choice, so if you feel comfortable playing in a slightly smaller room, I don’t see why not!

3. Table’s Dimensions and Measurements

The most important thing to look at in any table tennis table is the thickness of the tabletop. Especially in professional tables because this determines the quality of the ball’s bounce! Generally, the thickness varies between 12mm and 25mm, and the thicker it is, the better.

Competitive games are always played with 25mm tables and nothing more but are vary; those tables come with a higher price! Below are rules of thumb that you cal follow. However, the quality depends on some other factors, but most of it depends on the thickness.

• 12-16mm thick tabletop: Poor Quality
• 16mm-19mm thick tabletop: Fair-Good Quality
• 19mm-22mm thick tabletop: Good – Very Good Quality
• 22mm-25mm thick tabletop: Excellent Quality

All tables in this list except one have the standard table tennis table dimensions 9ft long (2.74m) and 5ft (1.525m) wide. So if you want a full-size table, that is what you need. I have one 3/4 sized table, which means it is for juniors, so if you’re market for a junior table, I review the best one below!

4. Does It Fold, Storage & Transportation

Storage and transportation options are a vital part of every ping pong table owner’s concerns. Depending on where you are purchasing a table, you might need to have a lightweight table, folding option, or proper wheels in the table, or in other cases, you don’t need any of those.

When your table is lightweight, you can easily transport it from place a to place b. It can be stored in a much smaller space when you can fold it, and you can play alone using the playback mode. Finally, if the table haves wheels, you can effortlessly roll it away and move it around. Think about all of these before settling down at a specific table.

5. Undercarriage

Before looking at the recommended tables, I need to stress the importance of undercarriage, which is often forgotten, especially by new buyers. There are 5 main kinds of undercarriage:

• Rollaway Undercarriage: Undercarriage is equipped with wheels
• Separate halves: The table is in two halves without wheels
• Singular Table: This table really don’t have undercarriage instead of the 4 feet
• Special Undercarriage: Unique undercarriage with special colors and shapes.
• Wheelchair Undercarriage: Undercarriage is more behind than usual. Fit for wheelchair athletes.

In addition to the major aspects mentioned here, there are others things to consider, such as where your table is for, serious or recreational use, materials, the net, budget, brands your should trust, and other things you should keep in mind. If you want more information about these where I dive deep into choosing a table tennis table, you should check my post about it.

If you are looking for the best table tennis table at a price that’s still affordable, JOOLA tour 2500 is the one for you! At this price, it’s unbelievable that you actually get a medium-density fiberboard tabletop that is 25mm thick, which is the maximum and best thickness in table tennis. International tournaments and the Olympics are played with the same thickness.

Also, this table folds so you can store it in a small space and use the playback mode to train table tennis alone when you don’t have a partner. Also, the wheels allow easy transporting from point A to point B.

This table isn’t the lightest one on the market, which results from the thick tabletop, so it’s worth it. You can assemble this table quite easily, and it will likely take 15-20 minutes. I have assembled a set of chairs that took 3 times longer, so it’s certainly worth the trouble.

When it comes to the net, this table comes with a tournament-quality screw clamp net that perfectly serves its purpose. Oh, and the frame and undercarriage are constructed from durable metal.

This table truly is the best one when considering both affordability and the quality of table tennis. If you don’t want to break your bank but want the utmost quality and best bounce for the ball, JOOLA tour 2500 is the go choice.

2. Best Beginner Table Tennis Table: JOOLA Tour 1500

JOOLA Tour 1800 is from the same family as the table above; however, it has a more affordable price and a thinner tabletop set at 18mm. If you are a recreational player or even a beginner that takes table tennis seriously, this table will certainly serve its purpose because an 18mm tabletop will still enable a good bounce to the ball.

The great thing about a slightly thinner tabletop is that it decreases the overall weight drastically. This table weighs only 137lbs (62kg), so you can put it together in 10minutes! Also, you can fold only the other side of the table, so you are never dependent on others if you want to train table tennis because you still have the playback mode.

This table also has a sturdy coated 40mm frame and 40x40mm undercarriage, ensuring this table will remain in one piece for a long time!

For table tennis players that are looking for a table at the best price imaginable for a table that is actually of good quality, the JOOLA Tour 1800 is the optimal choice!

8. Best Wheelchair Friendly Table Tennis Table: Cornilleau 250

It’s essential to carefully examine a table tennis table when purchasing one for wheelchair users! Most tables aren’t wheelchair-friendly because the undercarriage will come in the way, so I examined many wheelchair-friendly tables and concluded that Cornilleau 250 is the way to go!

This table has a 19mm thick tabletop which is great for quality table tennis, and it’s equipped with adjustable legs so you don’t need to worry about uneven flooring and 2 wheel brakes makes sure that the table won’t escape anywhere.

This table is considerably light, which makes moving it around and folding it to playback mode quite easy.

This table is great for wheelchair users because it has enough space beneath the table so the wheelchair can effortlessly move without hitting anything. Also, this table has a DSI folding and locking mechanism, which is super safe to use!

I highly recommend this table for wheelchair users because of its relatively lightweight, safe usage, precise adjustments, and easy movement with a wheelchair.

9. Best Table Tennis Table For Juniors: Butterfly Junior 3/4

For the Junior table tennis enthusiasts, I haven’t forgotten about you! Butterfly provides a great table fit for small athletes that can start practicing at a young age! Junior table tennis tables are 3/4 size of the standard, regulation-sized table tennis tables. This table is extremely lightweight as well, only at 62lbs (28kg).

Even when the tabletop thickness is 12mm, which is considered extremely low in standard-sized tables, the Junior table is smaller, which doesn’t have the same quality effect as in full-sized tables. Also, Juniors don’t recognize the small difference with the bounce, so all in all, it doesn’t matter.

With a really affordable price and assembly-free build, this table is great for early table tennis practice! Also, this table goes into a really tight package when folded so you can easily store it. It also has 2 small wheels, so moving it around is more effortless than ever.
