Outdoor table expectations

This user has no status.
Hi everyone, i recently bought a Cornilleau 700x outdoor and I'm waiting for It to arrive. What i wanted to know Is.. compared to a decent indoor table how much slower would It be? I bought It because the only way to put a table at home was to put It outside, and i live in a really humid area. Since i can't find any comparison online can anyone give me some ideas on what to expect in terms of rebound and Speed?

The thinner the surface, the less rebound (usually).
Outside tables are usually smoother, or get smoother quicker, so spin is affected too.
And then comes the floor, are you putting it on tiles/concrete or grass?
Tiles/concrete for sure! The only outdoor tables i've played on are the ones made for parks and they feel much slower compared to the Persson 25 i play on during training. Now, i would never expect this outdoor table i bought to be even close to the Persson but i'd like to have an idea on the Speed i would get from this...

E' un investimento importante per un tavolo outdoor. Mi sembra di qualità e spesso (solamente qualche Kettler arriva ad avere un piano in resina da 10mm.), ma solamente il test potrà confermare o smentire le aspettative. Ti posso solamente riferire la mia esperienza: ho un tavolo Artengo outdoor con piano di 5mm. di spessore, e dopo i primi anni di divertimento, ho smesso di giocarci. Troppa la differenza con i tavoli da interno omologati per le competizioni (20-25mm. di spessore) per omogeneità, qualità ed altezza del ribalzo.

Metal top instead of wood but the 700 is thick enough metal that it should mimic a 22mm wooden top so that will be plenty good enough. You'll be able to play great TT on it, no doubt.
It's finished with a matt effect finish I believe so the ball adhesion, spin effect on the bounce, although not the same as the wooden tables, should also be close enough!

Ah ma esce che sono italiano allora sul forum! Guarda, non avevo alternative per la posizione in cui andrà messo. Lo sto mettendo in una casa a 20m dal mare con umidità 100% d'estate e starebbe sempre fuori. D'inverno lo sposterei in garage... Quando ero bambino, i miei parenti inesperti sul tennistavolo non sapevano differenza tavolo interno e esterno e provarono a prenderlo un tavolo interno, dopo una stagione sola si era ricoperto di bolle... Volevo giusto capire cosa aspettarmi perché un po' strano che recensioni online di questo tavolo 0 totale, in quanto costicchia pure

I have played on this table many times. It does not play like a nice ITTF wood table. It is playable and you will get used to it.

2 things I noticed that make it play better:

1- clean the table before playing, the bounce is much better when clean

2- seamless balls play better, like the XSF and Yinhe S40. They bounce a little higher and are less likely to skid
