Learn how to get the optimal ping~pang table to dignify your hometown sports club.
A PROPER PING-PONG TABLE IS MUCH A TREASURY OF JOYMENT ... and vice versa.
The most important equipment for playing table tennis is a good standard table. If there is a good table in the gym, then it is quite possible to play with a slipper like a bath slap instead of a racket. On bad tables, any game will be a pain in the ass, even with a Japanese elite racket.
There are international technical standards for gaming tables, but in fact not every table from the store meets these standards. The most serious and most harmful drawback for any tennis table is the lack of a matte surface. The Chinese DHS Rainbow table is especially glossy and it is visible even on the phone screen. The tables from Butterfly Europa were unpleasantly surprised - the light reflects like an ice rink. Stiga training tables are nearly the same trash.
There is a useful China-made device in the range of pocket glossometers, with its help you can tell for sure whether the table is good or shitty. If the device indicated less than 24 units, then everything is OK, you can play on such a table with pleasure.
The pocket size digital glossometer set at 60° angle of light incidence. https://aliexpress.ru/item/1005003938294812.html
