Did Paddle Palace Buyout Megapsin?

[Lando]

Just out of curiosity, did this happen?

I just purchased a rubber from megaspin, but my bank account shows that the money was taken from "Paddle Palace Table Tennis"

Megaspin is essentially a dropshipper. They had PP fulfill your order.

You don't have anything to worry about.

that is interesting
drop shipper business model normally includes payment transactions too.
first time hearing that transaction is fulfilled by shipper too.

Yup, Megaspin is fed by several sources including Tabletennisstore.us, Bowmar Sports (ButterflyOnline), JoolaUSA, and Gotabletennis

so you don't get megaspin bank transactions?
they route the transaction to the shippers?
very interesting model, I wonder how megaspin keep their commissions or fees

I have no idea, I haven't bought from Megaspin in about a decade, (basically since I discovered TT11) but they have been in business for a long time, so they must be doing something right

They used to always work with American table tennis. News to me they work with pp, not that it affects me.

I'm really curious why you sell so many Air brand rubbers on your site. These rubbers are like 15 years old now right?

How do they hold up to modern Chinese made rubbers like Yinhe Moon 12 or AK47 or Loki Telson 100?

Megaspin was like one of the earliest web portals (before search engines like Yahoo and then Google took over) for table tennis back in the days when many of the shops were still by mail order over phone. Megaspin likely gets a commission for every purchase made through its portal.

I can't tell any of these rubbers are an improvement really from where they were when I started.

I tried a sheet of bluefire last night and didnt like it at all. Other than a little click sound I wasn't impressed. Maybe if I break it in.

I really dont like tuned rubbers and dont like selling them. Half the time they're already dried out when you get them.

Also consider my target market

So the Air rubbers are quite similar to Yinhe or Palio?

Does Air ever release new rubbers?

I try to discourage it. Every new rubber means a lot of ittf fees these days.

Again we're not going to get the newest and best market. My target market is 0 to 1600 other than maybe pips. I think up to 1800 depending on the style.

I've always thought our stuff and even going back to cream on magic red sponge, was better than h3 but probably the denser sponge may be better for advanced players esp if they tune.

Honestly go through your club and see how many players above 1800 are using anything Chinese If you find an h3 its one thats very broken in.

Compare that to how many 1400 players are using dignics. I can save them $200 and make them play better too.

It may be different in bigger clubs esp on the west coast, but this is what I see in the Midwest
