What is the best table tennis brand ?

In terms of quality, I'd say Butterfly. Really, there's no one like them.

I second that

Never heard of Banco. For me, there isn't something like a best brand. Only good or bad products (all brands have some).

It would be a more interesting question, if you ask for the manufactures.

I think its personal preference...

Butterfly is good but expensive. Good blades and rubbers. Donic: Good blades and rubbers and not as expensive as butterfly. Xiom: Good blades and rubbers. Stiga: very good blades but the rubbers are not that good. Tibhar Andro are good overall. Especially the Evolution Series. DHS nice blades and good rubbers but not that durable. My impressions. I prefer Donic and Xiom rubbers and Stiga blades.

I have voted "other", my vote going for the best "bang for bucks" manufacturers : Yasaka and Joola. They provide premium quality for cheap price. Just try a Yasaka Extra Special, it is the same composition and same premium quality as Nittaku Barwell, but unlike the Barwell, the price is not "premium".

Butterfly is the best one. But the problem is that they know they are the best and have ridicioulous prices

Double Happiness is the best company. The prices are just too reasonable and the product quality is fantastic. It's the only company that offers cheap, mid range and expensive shit. If you want to experience Ma Long/Xu Xin/Wang Hao blades, no problem, PG series for fraction of the price. How about modern hybrid rubber like Tenergy/Bluefire/Rasant/Evolution, it's fine we got the Hurricane. Want good quality ball performance to price ratio? DHS 3 stars! My other choice would have to be Friendship but they need more expensive high range products. The chinese companies offer better value than anybody else and you don't need to go online to read reviews, you can just buy it and test it without breaking the bank like Butterfly (moto: "once in a life time" "we like triple digits" "make distribution harder, to keep our prices higher")

Extremely relevent in regards to keeping costs low,but getting quality(not all the time)products

I have different brands and i will give each more time, but definitely my first choice is Butterfly, have some blades and rubbers from then, but i give another brands a go too to see and experiment, so far happy with one DHS blade and 2 Tibhar rubbers, not sure about Stiga blade yet but it didn't fall too far behind Butterfly blades, even it is better than some BTY blades, so the time will tell about the brands items i have.

I prefer Stiga Blades and Yasaka rubbers. Yasaka delivers premium quality at a low price. The Mark V is imo the best rubber in history.

The brand is more than just the product. It actually influences how you consider the product. Consumers often give very different responses in feedback to products when they don't actually know the product they are testing because the branding has been removed. That's the power of marketing and the brand and why some can command higher prices than others.

Also it doesn't stay the same each year, each company innovates to catch and overtake the other.

If you had all material from all brands for free, I'd say all rubbers and blades were good(I'm saying this without looking to quality factor). But with price, I'd say butterfly is the better. In my club, I'm the only guy with butterfly Rubbers and blade. The others are always complayning about their rubbers durability, and I have my Tenergy 05 rubbers since August 2014 kkkk and they're in a good state, still playable with spin and speed(Booster helps ahahaha). With the new poly ball, the rubbers grip durability decrease, so if you can play with a less tacky and spinny rubber, better! Tenergy 05 is not so grippy like Rasant PowerGrip, Omega V or other rubbers. At economical side Butterfly has high price, but for high durability and quality.

I would not say that there is any best brand since it's all personal preference like Mahomedy13 wrote. Me personally like stiga when it comes to blades and I also like the Airoc series. Tenergy is of course also super but Butterflys prices overall is to high and sadly it's not often their products are for sale. Nittaku got the best balls in my opinion. I also want to put an extra plus for stiga since they seems to be very friendly and took Dan to China and could share their awesome trip, something I would like to see that other brands took after!

From the last 5 post here, it was mentioned as Stiga blades are preferable, so how come?

I have only 1 Stiga blade and it is not the best blade i have out of the other i have, it may come third or forth, maybe second sharing with another blade, but not first, so what in Stiga blade that you prefer it?

For me it's the feeling and the craftsmanship I like with their blades and also the Carbonado that I'm using right now works very well with my game style. But like I wrote it's all very personal. How is your top five list than?
