Table tennis brands in our ping pong shop - The most important ones at a glance
Due to the fact that there are
more than 50 table tennis brands which annually introduce new table tennis blades and rubbers to the market, the whole offer apparently has reached astronomic proportions! Respect to those ping pong players, who still keep the overview of all thinkable table tennis equipment.
The daily work with this
table tennis shop is to do exactly this job for you! We offer an
excellent guidance and advice regarding all brands, which we thoroughly choose and compile at tt
-shop.com.
In ping pong / table tennis, brands play an essential role. For one thing, table
tennis professionals, like
Timo Boll or
Dimitrij Ovtcharov, are equipped by table tennis brands. For another thing, table tennis brands promote and push the development of the table tennis material. Just consider that 20 years ago, there were just
classical rubbers and only y few innovative
Carbon blades. Nowadays, there is a bunch of
modern Tensor rubbers and blades with
fiber reinforcements every year! Below, we want to introduce you the
most popular and common table tennis brands, which are also available in our ping pong store.
andro
andro Table tennis is a German table tennis brand. Professional ping pong players like
Kilian Ort or
Sabine Winter are supplied by andro. The best known products of this brand are the
andro Hexer rubbers and the
andro Rasanter rubbers.
Butterfly
The
traditional table tennis brand Butterfly has its origin in Japan and is probably one of the most common and popular table tennis brands worldwide.
Timo Boll, the most successful German table tennis player, is supplied by Butterfly. In addition to the rubber classics
Butterfly Sriver and the table tennis blade
Butterfly Primorac, also the
Tenergy rubbers and the
Butterfly Rozena constitute real jewels stemming from this company. With the new rubber, the
Butterfly Dignics 05, Butterfly wants to maintain its series of successes.
Since Butterfly rubbers and blades are
quite expensive, TT-Shop.com offers
many alternatives. In terms of ping pong rubbers, the
Nittaku Fastarc rubbers,
Donic Bluefire rubbers, or
Xiom Vega rubbers are highly promising alternatives. With regard to ping pong blades, brands such as
Stiga,
Donic, or
Xiom are also highly appreciated.
Cornilleau
The
French table tennis company Cornilleau is mainly known in France. But, for example, also in Germany, more and more players use rubbers and blades from Cornilleau. Furthermore, hobby players really appreciate the large range of products of
indoor and outdoor table tennis tables for their homes.
The Materialspezialist
In case you are searching for a
manifold offer in terms of anti-top rubbers,
long and short pips, and
table tennis blades for the defensive gaming style, you will most certainly not be able to avoid offers from
Materialspezialist. Similar to
Sauer & Tröger or
Dr. Neubauer, Materialspezialist is a German table tennis brand for the defending players.
Dr. Neubauer
The table tennis company
Dr. Neubauer was able to reach its worldwide success with
smooth and even pips implemented in the
Super Block and
Scalpel. Since the prohibition of smooth and even pips in 2008, the company introduced other very successful
antis and
long pips for defending players.
DHS (Double Happiness)
The
Chinese manufacturer DHS is one of the largest table tennis brands. Well-known table tennis players, like
Ma Long, swear by the quality of this Chinese brand. Chinese rubbers are characterized by a
high hardness, a
tacky and sticky topsheet, and a
very high potential for rotation (spin). These features were clearly proven considering the
bestseller rubbers Hurricane,
Tin Arc, and
Skyline.
In addition to this, DHS also
produces most of the ping pong balls. Almost all brands offer table tennis balls from
Double Happiness. DHS was one of the first manufacturers of
ABS plastic balls with seam.
Donic
The
German table tennis brand Donic is a worldwide operating brand with a high degree of recognition. When
Dimitrij Ovtcharov starts to play, this is not going to happen without table tennis equipment from Donic. Also, table tennis legends like
Jan-Ove Waldner or
Jörgen Persson are real flagships of Donic. Since many years, table tennis blades like the
Donic Appelgren Allplay or the
Donic Waldner Senso Carbon are best-selling products. In our table tennis online shop, blade series like the
Donic Ovtcharov, Donic Waldner, or the
Donic Persson asserted themselves successfully, and go regularly on sale in our table tennis store.
Considering rubber series, real classics are the
Donic Coppa,
Donic Quattro, or the
Donic Vario. These are an integral part of the assortment and indispensable. Modern Tensor rubbers, such as the
Donic Bluefire,
Donic Bluestorm, or the
Donic Acuda Blue, clearly dominate the ping pong scene with their
blue sponge as a recognizable trademark.
Friendship
The brand
Friendship is, similar to
Palio, a well-known table tennis brand, which mainly convinces with
very inexpensive rubbers and blades. However, you will have to accept quality fluctuations with such low prices.
Gewo
Gewo is a German ping pong brand, which has found many fans during the last couple of years, especially in Northern Germany.
Gewo table tennis rubbers and
table tennis blades are in no way worse or poorer in terms of the quality of other manufacturers.
Joola
Joola is probably the best-known table tennis brand in Germany. In addition to many
brand-name rubbers and
brand-name blades, Joola produces many
table tennis goods for the hobby and recreational sector. These include finished ping pong paddles, table tennis tables, or mini table tennis tables.
Petrissa Solja, one of the most successful female German table tennis players, is currently under contract with Joola.
Jörg Rosskopf, also known as "Mr. Table Tennis", is currently the coach of the German table tennis national team. He swore by the material of this German traditional brand during his active time.
The best-known table tennis rubber from this brand is probably the
Joola Samba, which could hardly be overheard in table tennis halls when speed-gluing was still permitted. Nowadays,
rubber series such as the Joola Rhyzm and the
Joola Rhyzer are the best-selling rubbers from Joola.
Mizuno
Mizuno is a
Japanese sportswear and sporting goods manufacturer. Among other products, Mizuno also produces equipment for sports such as soccer, baseball, golf, tennis, handball, rugby, judo, track and field, badminton, volleyball, and -of course-
table tennis.
Some years ago,
table tennis shoes from Mizuno were only used by many table tennis pros and real experts on the scene. For some time now, all table tennis models are also available for the German ping pong market. The most popular table tennis shoes from this brand are the
Wave Drive models. With a
comfortable cushioning and a stable hold, these convince all along the line
.
Nittaku
In case you enter a ping pong store in Japan, you will definitely see the brand
Nittaku. In the Far East, Nittaku is the
absolute premium table tennis brand and is an enormous competitor to the
leader of this field, Butterfly. Also, many Japanese table tennis professionals use rubbers and blades from Nittaku.
No doubt, the absolute best-seller is the
Nittaku Fastarc G1. This table tennis rubber exhibits the highest sales figures ever since its introduction to the market. Furthermore, this rubber is considered the best
alternative to the Tenergy 05. Other very successful rubber series from Nittaku are the
Nittaku Fastarc C1, the
Nittaku Fastarc P1, and the
Nittaku Fastarc S1.
In case you are searching for the best gaming characteristics when playing with ping pong balls, the
Nittaku Premium 40+ is a very good choice. Since its introduction to the market, this ball is the first choice of many table tennis clubs. The
Nittaku Premium 40+ is also one of the best-selling table tennis balls of our table tennis shop. The comparatively expensive purchase price is, thus, justified - at least partially.
Palio
The
Chinese manufacturer Palio is an interesting alternative to German and Japanese table tennis products. One very featured table tennis rubber is the
Palio CJ8000 Extreme Spin. This rubber is recommended as an inexpensive and successful alternative to classical rubbers, such as the
Butterfly Sriver, the
Yasaka Mark V, or the
Donic Coppa. Of course, the Palio CJ8000 Extreme Spin is also available in our online table tennis shop. Additionally, it is the rubber used in the table tennis racket called
Tibhar Allround Premium Spin. This is the main reason as to why this racket has an
unbeatable price-performance ratio.
Sauer & Tröger
The German ping pong brand
Sauer & Tröger has its focus on
innovative table tennis equipment for defending players. With the long pimple version
S&T Hellfire, a worldwide success was created. The range of products is constantly being expanded. Meanwhile,
many rubbers (long pimples, medium-long pimples, short pimples, anti-top, and classical rubbers) and
various blades are available for fans of ping pong.
Stiga
Stiga is a well-known table tennis brand all over the world. In particular, the
innovative and high-quality table tennis blades convince all along the line. Furthermore, Chinese TOP players like
Fan Zhendong or
Xu Xin are equipped with table tennis blades from this Swedish company.
The secret of this success reaches, however, far back into the past. To some collectors and table tennis connoisseurs,
older models are worth four-digit amounts (Euro). One constant is the
best-selling table tennis blade worldwide. The
Stiga Allround Classic. In addition to this, modern blades such as the
Stiga Infinity or the
Stiga Azalea blades enjoy a huge following.
Tibhar
The German company
Tibhar was founded by
Tibor
Harangozo. Nowadays, Tibhar is well-known as the leading table tennis brand. Many ping pong players really know and appreciate the offers of this company. This is particularly true for France, but also for
all other global markets.
The company Tibhar is
based in Saarbrücken (Germany), and equips world class table tennis players like
Vladimir Samsonov or
Bernadette Szocs. One of the best table tennis rubber series are the
Tibhar Evolution rubbers. While the
Tibhar Evolution MX-P,
MX-S,
EL-P and
EL-S are designed for offensively thinking and acting attackers, the
Tibhar Evolution FX-S and the
FX-P are also suitable for
allrounders.
There is one
new and innovative table tennis blade which was developed in
cooperation with our table tennis shop and Tibhar: The
Tibhar Allround Premium. It is the right choice for youth players, ping pong beginners, but also for allround players of various experience levels. Our
professional allround ping pong paddle and the paddle called
Tibhar Allround Premium Spin are equipped with the Tibhar Allround Premium. In our opinion, there is
no better ping pong paddle for beginners and allrounders. In particular, the
perfect mix based on control, rotation, and speed make this paddle highly suitable for the new
plastic ping pong balls. Hence, we offer these products in our table tennis online shop.
TSP/Victas
The table tennis brands
TSP and
Victas belong to the Japanese table tennis manufacturer
YAMATO TAKKYU CO., LTD. The brands are particularly common and popular in the Asian region. The managing director,
Koji Matsushita, is a former world class table tennis player and leads this company with his expertise. Victas offers many very interesting ping pong products, such as the
TSP Balsa blades, the
TSP Ventus rubbers, the
rubber series named
Victas V, and
numerous high-quality table tennis blades.
Xiom
The South Korean table tennis manufacturer Xiom has made a fast worldwide ascent. Meanwhile, Xiom is indeed a global player in terms of ping pong and supports many table tennis professionals. Most recently, the TOP-10 player
Hugo Calderano is under contract with Xiom.
The
Xiom Vega rubbers, particularly the best-sellers
Xiom Vega Pro and
Xiom Vega Euro, are the reasons as to why this brand achieved its breakthrough within just a few years. Nowadays, the
Xiom Omega rubbers, especially the
Xiom Omega VII rubbers, constitute the flagship among modern table tennis rubbers from Xiom. In addition to this, the
Xiom Ice Cream blades correspond to innovative table tennis blades. TT-Shop.com has many Xiom rubbers and blades in stock.
Yasaka
Yasaka is another renowned table tennis brand from Japan, which is known all over the world. The
Yasaka Mark V is a rubber which is most commonly used. Also, the company Yasaka benefits from the close cooperation with
Ma Lin. Last but not least, we want to mention the
Yasaka Rakza rubbers, which are also played quite often.
Purchase advice on our table tennis shop: What equipment do you need to play ping pong?
First, it appears that this question is quite easy to answer:
A ping pong paddle, a table tennis ball, at least two people, a table, and a net!? Unfortunately, God, it is not that easy. Otherwise, we wouldn´t have created our table tennis shop.
Just referring this topic to the
recreational market, we offer
approx. 50 different table tennis rackets in our table tennis online shop. By doing so, we intentionally made a restriction and a meaningful categorization. Just take a closer look at
our c
oncrete recommendations, and you will see what we are talking about.
Most ping pong players
compile their paddles by themselves. This means that they are buying their
table tennis rubbers and their
table tennis blade separately. The reason for this is based in the fact that each player has his/her individual gaming style. We have recognized this and created a coarse classification in our table tennis shop:
Offensive speed (Off+/Off), Offensive spin (Off-/All+), Allround (All), and Defensive (Def). To the best of our knowledge, no other table tennis shop has yet implemented such a classification in such detail and extent.
Of course, the above-mentioned classification is
only a coarse orientation because each player feels differently, brings other and highly individual bases and a unique constitution. Hence, each player has other requirements in terms of his / her
individual and necessary ping pong paddle.
Without ping pong balls, playing table tennis is not possible. We offer not only balls for training purposes, but also balls for competitions. We were all very excited when the
new plastic ping pong balls were introduced. Beginning with the 2019/2020 season, these are mandatory in all leagues.
Of course - table tennis is not table tennis without a table. Since there is a gigantic offer in terms of table tennis tables, particularly hobby players are advised to
consult our table tennis shop. Nowadays, there are really good and solid table tennis tables, which can be used either indoor, or outdoor (the latter being weatherproof). Especially in table tennis, one can easily buy a pig in a poke. To avoid this, advice and consultation in advance is fundamental.
Table tennis rubbers
Table tennis rubbers are made of a
topsheet (the upper layer / material)
with pips (a.k.a. pimples) and a
sponge made of rubber (caoutchouc to be exact). One differentiates between
pips in (toward the blade) and
pips out (toward the surface / ball) rubbers. In our table tennis online shop we offer more than 300 rubbers.
Rubber types
Considering
tacky and catchy rubbers with pips in, the
sponge thickness usually varies between 1.0 and 2.33 mm. The following rule applies:
The thicker the sponge, the faster the rubber. This is because of the so called
catapult effect. In thick sponges, the ball literally penetrates deep into the sponge material. When leaving the sponge, it behaves like a catapult and
additionally accelerates the ball. While
defensive and allround ping pong players prefer sponge thicknesses of up to 1.8 mm, offensive table tennis players prefer 1.9 mm to Max (the maximum sponge thickness). The limitation of the maximum thickness available is due to the fact that the
maximum sponge thickness must not exceed 4.0 mm.
In addition to rubbers with pips in, our online table tennis shop also offers
rubbers with pips out. In this category, one can differentiate between
short, medium(-long), and long pips. Whilst s
hort pips are usually equipped with a normal sponge being designed for the attacking game,
medium and long pips are usually used by defenders. Such rubbers aim to "allure" your opponent away from the table and to force him / her to do mistakes. This is achieved by such rubbers creating disturbances close to the table or applying extreme backspin defenses a bit further away from the table.
Another alternative are so called
anti-top or anti-spin rubbers. Such rubbers exhibit a very smooth surface so that incoming balls are slipping. This, in turn, leads to a maintenance of the spin so that the spin is simply further passed back to your opponent. In contrast to long pimples (which cause a kind of disturbing or fluttering effect due to their bending necks), anti top rubbers are exclusively dependent on the opposing spin. This is because anti rubbers cannot produce their own spin.
rubber technologies
Until a few years only, table tennis rubbers where
produced almost entirely in Japan or China.
The best known classic table tennis rubbers
Butterfly Sriver and
Yasaka Mark V have not been changed since the 1960s. A
classic(al) rubber has a robust and high-quality topsheet, and a rubber sponge without pores.
Due to the small catapult effect and the great amount of control, classical rubbers are suitable for
ping pong beginners and
allrounders. Until 2008,
speed-gluing was used to significantly increase various important parameters of the rubber: Speed, catapult, and rotation. Due to speed-gluing, the rubbers were equipped with an integrated strain and tension (ex works). After the
prohibition of using solvent-based adhesives and boosters, attackers and professionals were forced to use rubbers, which already contain such an
integrated tension / strain (so called integrated speed-gluing effect).
In German-speaking regions, such rubbers are called
FKE-rubbers. In the English-speaking regions, they are called
tensor rubbers, or simply
tensors. Due to the
pre-tension of the topsheet and a very
special sponge construction with pores, you can generate
way more speed, dynamics, and spin in all strokes you are doing.
Tensor rubbers are exclusively produced by the
German company ESN. Today, ESN has a
market share of almost 80%. When considering the
FKE-rubbers produced in Japan, the brand Butterfly clearly stands out. There is also a large selection of tensor rubbers among
Chinese rubbers. In our table tennis store ESN rubbers are present with similar sales rates.
Purchase advice on table tennis rubbers - What table tennis rubber is suitable for me?
In case you are a
beginner in ping pong, we recommend you to
focus on classical table tennis rubbers only. In our table tennis store, classic rubbers cost between 22 and 35 Euro. Furthermore,
rubbers with soft sponges provide more control, and they "forgive" errors and mistakes in case your technique is not (yet) optimal. These features are very essential to successfully learn new techniques. Note that rubbers with only little control make it way harder for you to acquire and consolidate techniques. This negatively affects your progress and the fun factor while playing.
For
allrounders and advanced players we recommend
harder classical rubbers,
or soft tensor rubbers. Since some time, so called
light play tensors are also available. They constitute a suitable transition from classic rubbers toward tensor rubbers. While the
Donic Desto F4 is very suitable considering soft rubbers, the best light play tensor (by far!) is the
Xiom Vega Intro. This rubber is used for the ping pong paddle
Xiom Intro Classic, which is also available in our table tennis online shop. In addition, the
Xiom Vega Intro is also
suitable for re-entrants.
Offensive players and table tennis players of higher leagues are recommended to consider
medium-hard or hard tensor rubbers. These provide the necessary amount of penetrating power, speed, and spin. Of course, this happens at the expense of control, but such players usually master the techniques well and safely.
Table tennis blades
It is a rule that a
table tennis blade has to be
made of wood, at least to 85 %. Additional synthetic materials are permitted, such as
glass fiber or
carbon. Since wood is a natural product, each table tennis blade is
individual and unique. Certain natural fluctuations in terms of weight, density, or hardness are, hence, normal. These factors, and also the kind of wood, the kind of veneer (a.k.a. ply), veneer combinations, size of the head of the blade, geometry, thickness, type of gluing, etc., considerably influence the
gaming properties of your table tennis blade. In addition to this, there are
various types of handles available. The most popular types, not only in our table tennis shop, are flared (concave form), straight, and anatomical.
Wood types and ply structure
Almost all types of wood which are used to produce a table tennis blade are quite light, they are so called softwoods.
Common (quite) soft wood types are, for example, Abachi (Ayous), Limba, Balsa, Hinoki, Kiri, or Koto. Furthermore, the veneer may be present as slice veneers or saw veneers.
A
standard ply structure is based on 5 or 7 layers. When the blades are fiber-reinforced, you can usually recognize this with the "+" symbol. For example, 3+2 means 3 layers of natural wood, plus 2 layers of e.g. Carbon. Also 5+2 designs are quite common. Especially in terms of 5+2 designs it is very decisive whether the
fiber reinforcements are located directly on top of the core (inner) ply, or further out, e.g.
just underneath the outer ply (=finishing veneer). With such materials being located directly beneath the core ply, the blade behaves more like an all-wood blade, with much penetrating power. If the fiber-reinforcement is located underneath the outer ply, the blade behaves clearly faster. This, however, happens at the expense of elasticity.
Among all
types of handles, the
flared type is by far most common and popular. This type is also the best-selling type of our online table tennis shop. This is also true for our local store. The reason for this lies in the geometry: Flared handles lie well and safely in your hand. Also, you can easily and quickly change the position of the handle in your hand. This is very important since the backhand and forehand technique require a specific grip posture, respectively.
Straight handles are quite popular considering defense players and table tennis professionals. A straight handle type sits very loosely in your hand. This allows a very pronounced grasping or even turning within the ball rallies. This, however, requires much training and experience.
Anatomical handles lie very firmly in your hand. The advantage of this is that the ping pong paddle will most certainly not slip out of your hand. The disadvantages, however, are that the grasping is harder, and sweat may be formed between the handle and the hand.
Conical handles are a mix based on straight and flared handles. Nowadays, conical handles are quite rare and they are only occasionally offered. Penholder players, who are most common in the Asian regions, use
traditional or modern penhold handle types.
Purchase advice on table tennis blades - Is there an optimal table tennis blade for my game?
For
beginners, allrounders, and fans of much spin who rely more on a maximum rotation instead of an immense speed,
all-wood blades are the best choice. Please note that it is still essential to select the right wood / veneer combination!
Allround blades, which mediate the necessary amount of feeling for the ball and control (
especially for table tennis beginners and allrounders), are usually made of 5 plies (veneers). The veneers of such blades are commonly very thin. The reason for this is the following: The thicker and wider the veneers, the faster the whole blade. This might cause some problems, particularly for beginners, since they cannot (yet) control such a high speed. Our table tennis store offers a large selection of allround blades.
Topspin players and offensive players, in contrast, are recommended to choose
thicker all-wood blades when there are 5 plies. Alternatively, they are advised to select
all-wood blades based on 7 plies. Another effect of the increased thickness of the veneers is that the head of the blade is getting heavier. This results in a top-heaviness, but also in an increased speed, catapult, and power. For the above mentioned players, these are very positive effects, while beginners and / or allrounders do not benefit.
Of course, there are also blades available which are not made of pure wood. Synthetic materials are then integrated, such as fiber-reinforcements by means of Carbon.
Carbon blades are -with a few exceptions- very fast and only recommended for
attacking players with profound skills (players of higher leagues). In particular, table tennis blades which contain the fiber reinforcement directly underneath the finishing veneer require much training effort and talent in order to develop the skills necessary to master such blades.
In mass / popular sports, most ping pong players use table tennis equipment which is clearly faster than their own abilities actually allow. Since the gaming properties of the overall racket mainly depend on the properties of the corresponding blade, it is
extremely important to thoroughly choose an appropriate blade!
Our ping pong shop has a rule of thumb when choosing a blade:
Control & feeling for the ball over speed & penetration power!
Ping pong paddles
Especially in terms of your
ping pong paddle,
advice of a table tennis shop is very important. A clear structure of what is selectable, detailed product descriptions, and additional information with respect to the corresponding blades and rubbers should be a fixed ingredient of a good
table tennis shop. When selecting your individual
table tennis racket, the personal ball feeling and the individual improvement of your table tennis specific performance are paramount. All these components should be reached with your first or new racket. In order to be able to correctly judge these components, it is fundamental to thoroughly analyze your gaming style:
- How do I judge my own playing strength?
- What are my strengths and weaknesses?
- What am I capable of and what do I want?
Based on technical requirements and on previous experience in terms of the equipment (testing is very important!), it is definitely
not the primary aim to select the
hardest and most expensive table tennis blade and the
spiniest and fastest rubber. Instead, you really should compile / get a table tennis racket which mediates a
unique and personal feeling of "Great, this racket really has the best feeling!" Our table tennis shop is specialized in this.
The combination of blade and rubber is particularly important. This is because
a certain rubber behaves slightly differently on different blades. As you already know, there are hundreds of different rubbers and blades!
Read the expert´s tip from TT-Shop.com:
- combine soft rubbers with hard and stiff blades
- try to combine hard rubbers with softer blades
- combine medium-hard rubbers with medium-hard blades
The kind of feedback a table tennis player receives from his/her
ping pong paddle changes in the course of time, and often correlates with the individual playing strength:
- The higher the playing strength and level of skills, the more penetration power is necessary in order to score. This also means that you should select harder and faster materials.
- The lower the playing strength and level of skills, the more control is necessary in order master your racket. This also means that you should select soft and slow materials.
Ping pong paddles in our table tennis online shop - What´s there to find?
The
focus of this table tennis shop is on a comprehensive, but very well structured (by the way also discounted) offer regarding paddles. Spoiled for choice. Particularly in terms of table tennis rackets, many players need a lot of time to make a decision for the perfect table tennis equipment.
This is especially true for
club players, who often think about changing their material, or who find out about half a year to a year after training and competitions: "Well, my racket is worn out, I really need something new!" There are many different groups of interest. In each group, everybody wants to purchase the best paddle for his / her individual aims. Due to an enormous amount of paddles in our table tennis online shop, you will also find YOUR suitable ping pong paddle.
Buying ping pong paddles - Finished rackets from big stores or professional table tennis rackets?
If you are searching for a ping pong paddle, you are normally spoiled for choice in terms of the manufacturer or the style (e.g. whether an allround, offensive, or defensive paddle). Paddles, however, are also classified into other categories. These include
ping pong paddles from conventional big stores, finished paddles from a table tennis store, or professional ping pong paddles. Each of these types exhibit individual pros and cons, which we want to highlight in the next paragraphs.
Pros and cons of table tennis rackets from big stores
First of all: For all types of table tennis rackets, the following applies: A racket is
made of a blade and two rubbers. The rubbers are glued onto the blade. This is just like we also do it in our ping pong shop :-) So in case the rubbers are not (yet) part of the delivery, you are not yet talking about a paddle or a racket. Instead, it is a blade.
Most
common big stores, general stores (no table tennis stores!),
or sports stores are divided into various divisions. The table tennis division might indeed be structured in a similar way as a regular ping pong store is structured. Often, however, such stores are not only "specialized" in ping pong, but also in many other sports. Hence, these big stores sell ping pong paddles which are already available
from approx. 8 Euro. Popularly, these rackets are also known as run-of-the-mill paddles. They are often equipped with thin rubbers having pips out. On the other side, also more expensive paddles are offered in big stores (approx. 60 Euro).
Most of these
inexpensive paddles from big stores are suitable for hobby and recreational players, for patients of rehabilitation centers or hospitals, for kids (e.g. for a birthday party or at school), or just for fun. This is true for both categories, the cheap paddles (starting from approx. 8 Euro), and the more expensive ones for about 60 Euro(!) mentioned above.
For those of you who want to do regular training sessions, who want to regularly play ping pong, maybe even joining a table tennis club (if not already), and who want to do this sport a bit more intensively, with passion and dedication, the situation is different. For those people, the above-mentioned
paddles from big stores are clearly not a good choice. However, we wouldn´t be a good table tennis shop if we wouldn´t offer such paddles, too.
This is because such paddles do also have their advantages. Considering the huge amount of hobby and recreational table tennis players worldwide, such rackets are quite common and popular. Although even
renowned brands like Butterfly, Donic, or Schildkröt offer rackets from big stores, you can often recognize them based on a few characteristics. First, they are
welded into transparent plastic foils or cartons. Second, they are already equipped with the rubbers (finished rackets for an instantaneous use).
The rubbers of rackets from big stores usually exhibit a
low quality. Also, the
catchiness and grip of such rubbers decreases pretty soon. In addition to this,
usually you cannot buy or reorder the rubbers (the rubbers are hard to remove anyway ... sometimes you damage the blade). The
blades sometimes tend to warp. Hence, they are
not of good quality. By the way: This is also true even if the
ITTF logo (International Table Tennis Federation) appears on them. In this case, you may take part in official competitions and tournaments with this ping pong paddle.
In this table tennis online shop you can find all kinds of paddles you require. If you are searching for an inexpensive beginner model, or if you want to order larger quantities of table tennis equipment (e.g. rackets for schools and other facilities), we recommend you the following category:
Ping pong paddles for recreation & hobby
As already mentioned, TT-Shop.com not only offers inexpensive paddles for each price category. Starting from 7.50 Euro all the way to your first allround paddle suitable for the transition from hobby to club, you will also find reduced prices, discounts, and special offers (price range: 7.50 - approx. 60 Euro). Depending on your individual requirements, you can simply select the best suitable hobby ping pong racket in our online table tennis shop.
Professional table tennis rackets - The best rackets in our table tennis store
Especially for beginners, finished rackets from a specialist dealer are
visually indistinguishable from those from a normal big store. This only becomes evident when closer investigating the individual components, meaning the blade and the rubbers, and the gluing. When buying a paddle from a specialist table tennis dealer, the gluing is performed by a professional, and not at the assembly line, or even by a machine. We at TT-Shop.com glue dozens of rubbers on a daily basis, and mount the paddles ordered by you. The rubbers available at a specialist dealer or at a real table tennis shop are
qualitatively way superior and, therefore,
more durable compared to their counterparts stemming from regular big stores. Of course, you can also order separate rubber(s).
In addition to this, superior rubbers are equipped with some key characteristics, which are very important when selecting one: For example, the
amount of spin, speed, control, and so forth. However, rubbers from big stores usually lack these information. Of course, also rubbers from table tennis shops don´t last forever. They wear and tear themselves out depending on the quality, gaming intensity, and how you treat them. In order to prevent this as good as possible, table tennis rubbers should be cared and maintained properly (use
protective foils, rubber spray, cases, etc.).
Important hint: The price of a rubber does not allow the judgment of its durability! When ordering table tennis rubbers from a specialist dealer, you can keep the blade and just renew the rubbers. This is because the gluing technique and the blade itself are qualitatively more superior.
Another scenario is that you keep the (old) rubbers and just renew or change the sponge support. By these different possibilities, you can -based on the characteristic specifications of the blade and/or rubbers- precisely adapt the material properties to the player. For
finished paddles from normal big stores, this is not possible because there are no detailed information on what materials were used.
Professional ping pong paddles from specialist dealers start at
about 50 Euro. Mostly, these are
paddles for beginners, but they exhibit a good overall quality (in fact, finished paddles from normal big stores starting from about 40 Euro are often money simply thrown out). Because of this good quality, there are often close relationships between players and a specific brand that is lasting for a long time. To summarize, finished paddles and / or blades or rubbers from a real table tennis shop and specialist dealers are a good choice for persons who want to join a club. The same is true for people who already are member of a table tennis club, and for kids, who want to intensify their relationship with ping pong (if not done already).
Honestly: Who wants to spend more than 100 Euro on the first ping pong paddle?
This is the question our table tennis store answers
really thoroughly, with much research activity. In the past (and also currently), we have created several special offers. Step by step, these "ripened" to real best-sellers!
Further below, we offer
concrete product recommendations for you. All these recommendations are inexpensive, but of
good quality! They are quite tacky and exhibit a good speed and feeling. All these ping pong paddles are suitable for the transition from hobby players to club players.
The
professional allround table tennis racket and the
professional Off minus racket in particular are also suitable for long-time active players, who now need a typical allround paddle (or a paddle in general). In terms of the Off minus (Off-) paddle, we can clearly state that it is also suitable for district / regional league table tennis players who build up their attacking game based on safe topspin openers. Alright, let´s get started. Particularly mention-worthy are the following paddles in case you are searching for good, but inexpensive rackets for your start (of course, we offer all of these paddles in our table tennis online shop):
- Professional Allround table tennis paddle: Based on the blade named Tibhar Allround Premium (RRP: 42.90€) and equipped with professional Donic Quattro rubbers (RRP 2x 29.90€) for only 69.90€ instead of 102.70€!
- Tibhar Allround Premium Spin: Based on the Tibhar Allround Premium blade (RRP: 42.90€), equipped with inexpensive (but qualitatively good) Palio CJ8000 Extreme Spin rubbers (RRP 2x 17.90€) for only 59.90€ instead of 78.70€!
- Table tennis racket for kids: Here you can choose between inexpensive China-rubbers and high-quality Donic rubbers. The prices vary between 49.90 € to 69.90 €.
Ping pong paddle shop: This is how you can compile and configure your own ping pong paddle
Ping pong paddles from a specialist dealer / table tennis shop already exhibit a
high quality. This is referred to rubbers, sponges, and blades. Professional table tennis rackets, however, belong to an even higher class of products. Such professional ping pong paddles are used by top athletes in the world rankings, such as
Timo Boll and many more. Nowadays, top athletes often exhibit an offensively ("OFF") oriented game. This means that the balls are served with lots of topspin and pressure. The balls are served in a very fast, aggressive, and hard manner.
These properties of the professional players are -of course- also reflected in the properties of the table tennis equipment they are using, namely, blades and rubbers. Hence, very hard and fast blades are used which may also exhibit a pronounced catapult effect. Normally, the specific knowledge and know-how for such kinds of products is accessible in expert magazines only. However, you can also find these information in good ping pong shops, like in our shop tt-shop.com.
Professional rubbers also exhibit a
high speed, they are
extremely spinny, and often exhibit a
relatively thick sponge. Most certainly, players of lower leagues and beginners would have trouble to deal with such ping pong paddles. For this reason, such paddles are not suitable for beginners and players of lower leagues. In addition, such professional paddles are more expensive (in most cases). In higher leagues, however, the financial aspect is -fortunately- not such a huge issue.
Our table tennis shop also offers the above-mentioned professional paddles, which are categorized as the "uncompromisingly offensive" gaming style (OFF+). However, they are relatively rarely sold.
At TT-Shop, club players compile / put together their individually fitting table tennis paddle!
Details of how you can compile your personal and best suitable table tennis racket, including what needs to be considered when sealing the blade, choosing and mounting rubbers, and other details, can be found at tt-shop.com under the following link:
Ping pong paddles - Configurator
PUrchase advice on ping pong paddles - Which racket suits me best?
Paddles from normal big stores (up to approx. 40 Euro) are a good choice for hobby / recreational players or kids. These players just want to have fun when playing. Unfortunately,
more expensive paddles from normal big stores are often just
money thrown out.
Professional ping pong paddles from TT-Shop.com (either as finished paddle, or blade and rubbers separately), start at
about 50 Euro. Considering this price category, they are really a
good choice,
especially for beginners. The
Tibhar Allround Premium Spin and the
Professional Allround Table Tennis Paddle are worth a particular recommendation (for further details, please check the product description of these paddles).
Advanced ping pong players can also
compile their paddle individually (blade, rubbers, sponges). This is a huge advantage because detailed product information are available. Please note one more time that the prices of rubbers, blades, or paddles are NOT the main criteria to judge their durability or quality! Instead, it is more decisive to find the material that is best suitable for your individual needs and characteristics. This table tennis online shop contains comprehensive product information, overview tables, and much more.
Ping pong balls
The round one has to be placed on top of the rectangle one. Also, it has to be served over the net. The best would be to do this in a quite flat way. And fast. A nice amount of spin would also be great. Well, you can see there are some requirements in terms of the ping pong ball!
Honestly speaking:
Ping pong balls should exhibit
good gaming properties. They should also be
very durable and
very inexpensive. The other requirements have to be fulfilled by your own skills and table tennis capabilities.
During the age of
plastic balls, table tennis has changed. The new plastic balls exhibit
a bit less rotation. Furthermore, they are a bit slower,
slowing down the whole game. In order to get the best balls, you should be aware of the differences between the individual balls.
Plastic balls with seam
Ping pong balls
with a seam are the
most sold and most played ping pong plastic balls. This was always the case. The old
celluloid balls are not without a seam. But the very first plastic balls did not exhibit a seam. That´s why there is such a differentiation.
The most expensive ping pong ball available on the market is the
Nittaku Premium 40+. This ball (unfortunately) has the
most striking similarities to the properties of the old celluloid ball. Provided of course a direct comparison is possible. This is subject of many discussions in the table tennis scene. Similarly to the latest plastic balls made in China,
ABS is used. Hence, one calls such balls
ABS plastic balls (or simply ABS ball). ABS is a plastic and corresponds to
acrylonitrile
butadiene
styrene.
Plastic balls without seam
The
plastic balls without seam were only able to assert themselves to a limited extent. For one thing, these ping pong balls were pioneers with a very limited durability, especially at the beginning. Maybe now you also remember all the broken balls. For another thing, the big table tennis brands usually use(d) plastic balls with seam.
Celluloid balls
From the
2019/2020 season only the new
plastic ping pong balls are permitted. Globally speaking, celluloid has been banned from ping pong halls a long time ago. For hobby and recreational table tennis players this is not a big deal as they can still use celluloid balls. You can also use remaining balls when doing training sessions. Please note again, however, that with the introduction of the new plastic balls, the overall table tennis game has changed (a bit). Although this change might not be as perceptible in lower leagues, it may still have an effect. So in case you use celluloid balls during your training knowing that during the competition it won´t be celluloid anymore, you might compete under sub-optimal conditions.
Purchase advice on ping pong balls - Which plastic ball should I choose?
We as a table tennis shop and advisor of many table tennis customers have noticed that
there is not the or a single solution. There are
many different impressions and judgments when it comes to the new plastic balls. This is because each individual feels and experiences individually. Everybody plays with different tables, in different halls. Everybody uses different paddles, different rubbers, or sponges. Even if several people used the same paddle, the age and previous "operating hours" are different. You see an objective assessment is very hard, if not impossible.
For these reasons, we strongly recommend you to
test the balls by yourself! We are happy to offer you personal impressions in terms of the respective ball/balls. However, due to the points mentioned above, we are simply
unable to make general statements. In order to facilitate the testing for our customers, we have provided
test sets of plastic balls in our table tennis store. These only comprise a small number of balls, which is sufficient for testing purposes and quite inexpensive. In case you are a ping pong beginner, testing various different balls is really worth it. This is because later on, during the club activities, you will
always have to play with very different balls when attending away games or tournaments.
Ping pong clothing in our table tennis shop
Another important, but often underestimated, aspect of
table tennis equipment is
ping pong clothing. As it is the case in each kind of sports, also in table tennis there are certain requirements on clothing.
jerseys and Shirts
A typical
table tennis jersey has a collar with buttons. The jerseys our table tennis shop offers are made of
cotton or polyester. The latter has established itself during the last couple of years. The disadvantage of table tennis jerseys made of cotton are that they quickly absorb sweat when doing hard and long matches or competitions. Jerseys made of polyester, in contrast, do not exhibit these detrimental effect, at least to a certain point. Hence, you can
play table tennis for a longer time until you will have to change your polyester shirt. When customers visit our sales shop, we noticed that the older generation still prefers jerseys made of cotton.
Additionally, also
t-shirts for training sessions are available. These do not possess a collar and are exclusively designed for training purposes in table tennis. Particularly popular are t-shirts with integrated functional materials, because a real hard training session is physically demanding and definitely makes you sweat.
In the rules there are
almost no restrictions in terms of a ping pong jersey. It is important to know that the jerseys you wear have a
different color from the ball. In most cases, this is
white. Some clubs also play with
orange colored ping pong balls. For this reason, orange colored jerseys available to a lesser amount compared to other colors. Additionally, the size of the printed advertising is limited. However, this is probably only relevant for clubs and their sponsors.
Shorts / pants or table tennis skirts
When attending competitions and tournaments,
short pants or shorts are mandatory. For female athletes, also
sports skirts are permitted. Table tennis pants exhibit a very wide cut in order to provide sufficient space when doing wide-legged leg work and the bent posture. In general, the best ping pong shorts offer a
great freedom of movement and a great wearing comfort. Most of the shorts also have trouser pockets. These are very helpful when storing several ping pong balls during training activities.
Tracksuits
In order to stay warm before and during your game,
table tennis tracksuits are very beneficial. With these, you can also warm up yourself in order to reach operating temperature. Note that muscle tissue needs a certain temperature so that internal friction is minimized. In this way, you can move faster. In general, tracksuits help players preventing injuries in between the games and they counteract the cooling of the muscle and body. But also in terms of their visual appearance, tracksuits are really nice to look at. They are quickly pulled over the table tennis clothing and provide many advantages.
Other table tennis equipment and accessories
In addition to the products and table tennis equipment mentioned up to this point, ping pong companies also offer accessories. These include
sweatbands, headbands, table tennis socks, or
sports towels.
Purchase advice on ping pong clothing - Which table tennis fashion should I look at?
In terms of table tennis clothing, you really should be
well equipped. For table tennis training purposes,
functional shirts are suitable. Table tennis clubs normally provide jerseys and pants with appropriate and suitable tracksuits. Unfortunately, the sizes of the clothing are quite different.
In this regard, we are happy to help you. Based on our experience, we can provide reference values and comparisons. In our ping pong shop, we make all these information accessible for our customers. Do you still have any questions?
We would be very happy to advise you! Just contact us via email, or visit our store in Dippoldiswalde in case you want to spend your holidays in Germany. By the way: Dresden is really close to Dippoldiswalde and definitely worth spending some time there! Dippoldiswalde is located in the Ore Mountains (Erzgebirge), which is a very nice region, especially during the winter time. Also, the Czech Republic is really close, including its capital Prague. Poland is also not far away. Anyways ... in our ping pong store we have a large selection of table tennis clothing in stock. There, you can also try on your desired shirt in any size. In the large assortment of well-known brands of our table tennis shop, everybody can find his/her individually matching jersey, pant / trouser / short, or tracksuit.
Table tennis shoes in our table tennis store
To be successful in ping pong, appropriate
table tennis shoes support you a lot. There are only a few other sports which live from such a demanding profile including
quick and pronounced changes of direction (and unrestricted reactions) of the players as it is the case in table tennis. This particularly becomes evident when your footwear does not provide sufficient grip and stability. Then, slipping is only a matter of time and occurs sooner or later. This might cause not only trouble when doing proper strokes (including a proper timing), but may also lead to (serious) injuries.
Properties of table tennis shoes
A
good table tennis shoe has to offer you
good stability in order to have a stable stance when doing your strokes. Note that the chain of movements from the legs to the hip, torso, arm, wrist, hand, and paddle has its origin in the foot and shoe. Also, the
right amount of cushioning is important to spare the stressed joints. It absorbs the impacts of vertical load when touching the ground, for example. Also, the
optimal contact to the floor is essential. In other words: The outer soles of table tennis shoes must have sufficient grip. Last but not least: Such a good table tennis shoe must always exhibit a
good overall wearing comfort.
Purchase advice on table tennis shoes - What is the perfect table tennis shoe capable of?
In addition to the above-mentioned properties, table tennis shoes should also suit
your individual gaming style and requirements. Starting with inexpensive and solid
beginner models, all the way up to modern, optimally cushioned
premium table tennis shoes, we have them all in our table tennis shop.
What table tennis shoes do our customers prefer? Well, our customers were convinced by the
Mizuno shoes, and the
Stiga Liner II table tennis shoes. These shoes exhibit a great wearing comfort, low weight, and an excellent catchiness. In our table tennis store we can strongly recommend the Stiga Liner II as this shoe is our
price-performance winner.
In addition, we also offer advice in order to find out which shoe size suits you best. This is necessary since one particular shoe size does not necessarily result in the same shoe length and proportions. Regarding this issue, you are very welcome to get in touch with us via email.
Table tennis accessories in our ping pong shop
The range of products in terms of
table tennis accessories is very large in our ping pong shop. Often, ping pong experts argue about what products can be categorized as accessories. In the following paragraphs, you will find the
most important table tennis accessories which will definitely support you.
Ping pong bags and Trolleys
To facilitate the transport of your table tennis utensils, a
ping pong bag or a
table tennis trolley are a good choice. You can store everything in it, starting with ping pong paddles and paddle cases, to shoes, clothes, etc.
Ping pong bags are available in different sizes. So it makes sense to choose a bag depending on your individual wishes and requirements.
Covers / cases or suitcases for rackets
To
optimally protect your table tennis racket, we strongly recommend you to use
ping pong paddle cases (also called covers). These are also available in a more robust version, so called
paddle suitcases. In these, you can perfectly and safely store your racket after your game.
Already ping pong paddle cases exhibit a good protection. These are available as single and double cases, even with shatterproof inserts. In case you desire something noble and of a higher quality, you might consider paddle suitcases. However, most of them only provide room for one single racket.
Cleaners and cleaning sets
What else is necessary to optimally
care and maintain your paddle? Right,
cleaning spray (alternatively
cleaning foam) and a
cleaning sponge. In our table tennis online shop, we offer this as a complete set. With these cleaning utensils, you can clean the surface of your rubbers after having played. In this way, you can remove dust, sweat, or other dirty particles. Note that the rubbers are quite sensitive to these substances and without proper and regular cleaning, the rubbers wear off earlier (premature aging & decreased durability).
Another good possibility which is strongly recommended is the usage of
protective foils. One puts such foils directly on top of the thoroughly cleaned rubbers. This prevents the deposition of dust and other detrimental substances on the rubbers when they are not in use. Put the paddle including the foils into your racket case or suitcase, and there you go! 100 % protection until your next action.
Glues, adhesive accessories, and sealing of the blade
Of course, when gluing a table tennis racket, you will also need
table tennis glue / adhesive. The offer includes two categories:
Modern, solvent-free latex glues (which we recommend), or the
solvent-containing normal adhesives. The latter type of glue can also be used prior to a competition, provided there is sufficient time so that the VOCs are no longer detectable (VOC = Volatile Organic Compounds). In our table tennis shop you can order both sorts of adhesives.
For modern table tennis rubbers we recommend you to use latex adhesives only. One of such adhesives is the
Revolution No. 3. The rubbers are already under tension, hence, they do not need any further stretching induced by the solvents. This might also negatively affect their durability. Furthermore, the low viscosity of the VOC glues does not entirely close the pores of modern sponges. This may lead to unsatisfactory bonding results.
Next to the glue, you also need
scissors or a cutter (alternatively a
scalpel) to cut your rubbers, provided of course you order the rubbers separately and you mount them by yourself. Don´t forget to use an appropriate underlay in order to cut the rubbers after gluing. Latex glues usually do not have brushes. The application of the glue is achieved using a
clamp and a
sponge. When actually placing the rubber onto the blade, a
table tennis roller (rubber roller) is recommended to apply even pressure. After the gluing process, you can protect your racket from damaging the edges by using
edge banding tape /
edge banding. This also helps to prevent the rubber from coming off.
Last but not least: We strongly recommend you to
seal your blade! The heads of newer table tennis blades are usually not protected. When hitting the edge, this may cause serious damage to the veneers. Also, when changing the rubbers, the rubbers can be removed far more easily when the blade was sealed in the past. If not, the blade can be damaged, yet even parts of the outer veneer may come off. See below, how the sealing works.
To better
protect your table tennis blade, you have to apply 1-2 thin layers of the sealing liquid
prior to gluing the rubbers. This has to dry and to harden now. After a time period of 24 hours, you can further proceed with your sealed blade. If the sealing was done professionally, it will not affect the gaming properties of your blade at all.
Purchase advice on table tennis accessories - Do I really need all these things?
The
most important table tennis-specific accessory is the paddle case (or the suitcase for paddles), together with the cleaning set. Every ping pong player should properly store and maintain his / her paddle. In only the rarest cases one has to secure the paddle like Fort Knox. Hence, usually a simple single racket case is sufficient to provide adequate protection. For higher demands, we recommend a suitcase for your racket, as already mentioned. Double cases only make sense in case you have a spare racket, or a test racket. In our table tennis store, we offer sufficient variants.
Cleaning and maintenance is
not only etiquette, it also
saves quite some money. In addition to this, it would really be a pity if you would lose one or the other point in a game just because you didn´t properly clean your rubber, causing a decreased grip. Alternatively to protective foils, you can also place fine cardboard on top of the rubbers to protect them. In this case, you should ensure that there is an isolation from dust and humidity.
In terms of sports bags, the need to use a special ping pong bag is not as pronounced. Of course, it is a bit "impressive" when using the latest ping pong bag exhibiting a matching paddle case in terms of the color. Well, decide for yourself.
In case you really do not want to carry bags anymore, you can consider table tennis trolleys which are also available in our ping pong shop.
The purchase of gluing utensils only makes sense if you are testing many rubbers, or if you simply want to do the gluing yourself. Most of the ping pong players do not need such an adhesive equipment.
In terms of the sealing of the blade, the situation might be a bit different. The decisive questions might be: How often and how regularly do you buy a new blade? Probably not that often. How often do you change the rubbers? Probably more often. Well, decide for yourself. In general, the adhesive equipment in particular, but also the materials necessary to seal your blade, are usually bought by table tennis nerds, who want to do everything by themselves.
Ping pong tables in our table tennis online shop
The purchase of a
ping pong table should be well considered. No matter if you are a hobby player, a club, school, public institution, or a professional player. The requirements in terms of table tennis tables vary considerably. Hence, a competent advice and consultation is really necessary. In our ping pong store, we offer this!
Indoor ping pong tables and tables for competitions
Indoor ping pong tables are not weather proof! Hence, they are only suitable for indoor use (as the name already tells us). Simple indoor tables are common in the
hobby and recreational market. If you want to use such a table in your basement or in the cellar room, they are just the right choice!
In contrast to this,
schools should really consider
high-quality table tennis tables. Please note that the thicker the plate of the table, the higher the gaming quality. This is because thicker materials exhibit a different (in this case better) jumping behavior of the balls. Also, properties like the substructure of the plate, the folding system, or the transport options, play an important role when it comes to properties and the overall quality of a ping pong table.
Please note that for official tournaments and competitions in ping pong clubs, only a
table tennis table with an ITTF certificate is permitted. In addition to this, also the net has to meet the requirements and standards of the International Table Tennis Federation.
Outdoor ping pong tables and tables made of concrete
Outdoor table tennis tables are a bit more complicated. First, there is a competition between
melamine resin tables and
aluminum tables. The question of this competition is which plate should be preferred. Well, answering this question is difficult because it depends on what you are preferring: Aluminum tables exhibit the
superior gaming properties. In contrast, melamine resin tables
weigh less and they are
more weather-resistant.
For
schools and
public places,
fixed outdoor table tennis tables are most suitable. For example,
tables made of concrete are a robust version with a good durability and sustainability.
Mini ping pong tables or midi tables
So called
mini or midi ping pong tables offer a very special
fun factor. Due to the smaller surface of the table, the player has to be particularly skillful, with a pronounced feeling for the ball. Furthermore, these tables are very light. They also do not require much storage requirements, and can be
set up almost anywhere. No matter if in the garden, or on the terrace, or at a party - a mini table tennis table is always a guarantor for much fun.
As an option, you can also choose
mini ping pong paddles for such small tables. Then, there is even more fun.
Table tennis net
In our table tennis shop you will find the
best table tennis nets. Almost all models are approved for official competitions and tournaments. To get a good ping pong net, you have to consider the following things: The table posts must be robust and durable. They must be able to withstand the long-term stress of setting up and dismantling the net many times. The nets themselves should be replaced on a regular basis. For each net, you can get the right accessories.
Purchase advice on ping pong tables - Which table suits my individual needs?
The
choice of the right ping pong table depends on two major factors: First, you need to be aware of
where you will place your table. Second, you need to know
what requirements you are having in terms of the table tennis table. If you know these things, the subsequent decision is usually way easier to make. In addition, our table tennis store will provide some recommendations.
For indoor hobby and recreational players, an
easy indoor ping pong table is really ok. Starting with a plate thickness of 19 mm, you can really have a good gaming experience. If you only have
little space, you should think about a
midi or mini table tennis table. Club players who also want to have a high-quality table at homes, are recommended to consider
tables which are approved for competitions. Only these ping pong tables exhibit optimal playing characteristics suitable for such players.
In terms of ping pong
clubs, the use
competition plates is really out of question. Every table tennis club, however, should get used to using a specific table model. Note in this context that a
uniform equipment is more than recommendable.
For hobby and club players who want to purchase an
outdoor table tennis table, our ping pong shop recommends an
aluminum table with a plate thickness of 22 mm, or a
melamine resin plate with a plate thickness of 5-6 mm. Based on your individual requirements and needs, the other equipment can be chosen individually.
For p
ublic institutions, schools gardens, or parks, we strongly recommend
fixed outdoor ping pong tables. In order to achieve better gaming properties, we suggest you to consider
all-metal versions. In contrast,
tables made of concrete or stone constitute robust alternatives.
Table tennis robots in our ping pong store
A
table tennis robot offers really interesting training possibilities. Particularly when there is
no training partner available, you can work intensively on your
leg work and endurance. Also, you can
consolidate various table tennis specific techniques using ping pong robots.
Table tennis robots without automated ball return system
A
table tennis robot without automated ball return system is placed onto the table. The duration of its operation is primarily depending on the ball capacity of the robot. Fortunately, most models exhibit large ball container so that for most (also intensive) exercises, this is really sufficient and you can really work out in a hard way. Starting with more simple table tennis robots all the way to real modern high-tech robots, our ping pong store offers many of them. The range of robots without automated ball return system is large and varied.
Table tennis robots with automated ball return system
Table tennis robots with an automated ball return system are more comfortable. Due to the net that catches the balls, and the automated return system (the balls are automatically led to the robot toward the ball funnel), you can play for a significantly longer time - theoretically, this allows for a non-stop action.
Purchase advice on a ping pong robot - What is a table tennis robot capable of?
Our table tennis online shop offers the
most inexpensive ping pong robots starting with a price level of approx. 100 Euro. However, you should consider that such "cheap" ball machines
exhibit certain limitations in terms of adjustable functions or the overall quality, for example. When spending a bit more money, the ping pong robots exhibit a better quality. Our
recommended entry level robot is the
Tibhar Robo Pro Junior. This table tennis robot has a solid overall quality, very constant ejections of the balls, and easily adjustable ball placement options.
In terms of
mid-priced ping pong robots, the
Joola Shorty,
Donic Robo Pong 545, and the
Donic Robo Pong 1055 compete with each other. All of these ball machines, however, do not have an automated ball return system.
Regarding high-quality table tennis robots, we recommend the
Tibhar Robo Pro Genius and the
Donic Robo Pong 2055. These robots are the best choice considering the
price-performance ratio. Both are also equipped with an automated ball return system.
Among our premium products, the
Tibhar Robo Pro Master and the
Donic Robo Pong 3050XL are outstanding. This is based on the many options, settings, and adjustments you can do with these ping pong robots (both with automated ball return system). The latter is also equipped with a modern app control, which considerably simplifies the operation.
What categories are available in our table tennis online shop?
Every
table tennis online shop has its own product categories. At tt-shop.com, we do this based on the
needs and requirements of our table tennis players. It should be noted that as a pure ping pong dealer and active players, we are acting from the point of view of a club player. Of course, we are also considering hobby players here!
As one of the few ping pong stores, we offer
many good explanations and entry aids. Last but not least, the
guide of our table tennis shop will help you to find your way in our online shop and -of course- in the whole jungle of table tennis equipment.
Rubbers and blades
The
most frequently purchased products in our table tennis shop stem from the categories
table tennis blades and
table tennis rubbers. As you now already know, these are literally countless in number exhibiting many different properties. Based on our experience and research, we explain these in much detail and with self-written product descriptions. In turn, such detailed information will better help you choosing certain products according to your individual needs and gaming system.
For each of their products,
table tennis brands usually provide values and characteristics in terms of
speed, control, or spin. This provides a first, coarse orientation in the large material jungle. Of course, we do not keep such information a secret. For each table tennis blade and for each table tennis rubber, you will find a table sorted by table tennis brands in the side menu. This table is part of the categorical overviews in our ping pong shop.
In addition to this, you can also a
dapt the blades according to your specific needs. Among other things, you can select the following for each of our blades:
- Type of handle: Usually straight, flared (most commonly used), or anatomical.
- FREE assembly of the selected rubbers: Red for forehand and black for backhand, or vice versa.
- Sealing of the blade: We always recommend this in order to prevent any damage to the veneers when changing the rubbers at some point in the future!
Once you have made your decision in terms of the blade, you will also need suitable table tennis rubbers. A pre-selection of the complete assortment is also selectable within the side menu of our table tennis store. If you intensively search in our table tennis shop, you will also find a thoroughly structured search function located in the sidebar. This makes it possible to filter ping pong paddles, rubbers, and blades according to their weight, hardness, or number of veneers, for example. This filter system is unique, and to the best of our knowledge, no other table tennis online shop is structured in such complexity as ours (please understand that initially, we started with our German shop, and later on with this English appearance. So we are constantly enlarging, improving, and widening the latter).
Paddles
For now, let us put our focus on the next category of this ping pong shop: The
category of ping pong paddles.
The ping pong paddle is made of a blade, and two (separate) rubbers. So far, so good. The
gaming quality of a ping pong paddle is the central property, which is decisive in terms of whether a player might lose or win. For this reason, the main focus of our ping pong store is to advise you to find a paddle which suits you best.
A detailed description of how you can
compile your individual table tennis racket in our table tennis online shop can be found in the product text of the
table tennis racket configurator.
In addition to the
largest selection of customizable ping pong paddles in the whole web, we also offer another interesting product category. You can also find a large selection of ping pong balls (which make is possible to actually play) in our table tennis shop.
Balls
In order to keep the overview, we sub-divided our
ping pong balls in many sub-categories. As a first support, out
advisor on ping pong balls will help you to search and select the right balls for you, or for your club, school, etc.
Furthermore, in our table tennis shop you can find
plastic balls and
celluloid balls in separate categories. For players who want to order for clubs, or for owners of table tennis robots,
large packs are worthwhile. For hobby players and mass sportsmen, however,
small packs are possibly better.
Clothing and shoes
Table tennis clothing / clothes are leaded by
table tennis jerseys and
training shirts. Clubs, but also single players, can find a large selection of
branded jerseys. Also, suitable and matching
table tennis shorts should not be missing.
High-quality tracksuits round off the needs regarding table tennis clothing available in our table tennis store. In addition to this, accessories like
sports towels, sweat bands, headbands, or table tennis socks are available. In our opinion, our
combination savings sets might be of high relevance for you.
For the
optimal grip and traction, you are advised to dig through our ping pong shop using the
category of table tennis shoes. In our
shoe test, we introduce to you the best and most recent ping pong shoes. Furthermore, you can find shoes from different table tennis brands at a glance.
Accessories
In our
category table tennis accessories you can find
everything a table tennis player needs. The whole range of products starts with
table tennis bags and trolleys. With these products, you can properly store your precious paddles, shoes, and other utensils in a very comfy way. In case some of you do not need so much space for the table tennis equipment, you are advised to use a
ping pong backpack.
Ping pong paddle cases and suitcases for rackets are responsible for the safe and proper storage of your ping pong paddles. There are more simple single cases, double cases, or elegant and highly safe suitcases. Which it shall be in the end, is totally up to you and your desires.
To
care and maintain your ping pong racket,
cleaners and cleaning sponges are selectable and also recommended. In addition to this, you can also use protective foils in order to protect your paddle from dust, dirt, and other substances. The whole cleaning category of our ping pong store is rounded off with a
complete cleaning set we offer.
When gluing table tennis rackets, our table tennis online shop offers quite some products. Within the sub-category
table tennis glues, you can find the right adhesive for a
safe change of rubbers.
Other gluing utensils are rubber rollers, scissors and cutter knives, edge tape, sponges, and clamps. In addition to this, you can find the
sealing for your blade in our ping pong shop. These are very appropriate to seal your blade, hence avoiding damage in the future.
Tables and nets
The
product category table tennis tables and nets contains a large assortment in terms of tables. A classification was made dividing these products into very inexpensive indoor ping pong tables, more expensive outdoor table tennis tables, and tables for official competitions and tournaments. In terms of the latter category,
ping pong clubs might have the largest interest. Almost all of the table tennis nets available in our table tennis store are approved for competitions.
Robots and club needs
If you are searching for a
reliable training partner, you should have a closer look into our category
ping pong robots. The more inexpensive robots (without ball collecting net) start at around 100 Euro. High-quality and higher-quality ping pong robots can be found in our sub-category of table tennis robots with automated ball return system. In case you need an additional net to collect the balls, you will also find this in our table tennis shop.
For
further club needs, we offer you a separate category. There you can easily find products such as counters, borders, edgings, ball collectors, etc. This might -of course- also be of interest for ping pong clubs.
Offers
To obtain a detailed overview of those table tennis products where you can
save money, we have created a category called
offers for you. There, you can find a
huge range of products of discounted and reduced items available in our table tennis online shop.
In addition to the
permanently reduced offers, we also provide
seasonal bargains. You should take a closer look at these regularly. Alternatively, you can also
subscribe to our newsletter. The newsletter contains all
news about our table tennis shop, and the
latest sales. You will get informed about all these activities - comfortably via email.
Table tennis online shop - How you can quickly find your way
The
table tennis online shop "tt-shop.com" is something
special. This shop was created (and is still developed) with
much love, ambition, and a slight amount of "ping pong madness". The first idea, however, was different: The initial plan was to start a table tennis blog for hobby purposes. But then, over the course of time, a real company has developed. The biggest bonus of our table tennis company is also our biggest goal: The frequent and personal contact to our customers, worldwide. Together with my partners,
Henning Gottwald and
Daniel Schmidt, this is my / our table tennis shop. My name is
Matthias Bormann, a passionate ping pong player. I have to confess that I´m
crazy about table tennis. I am also very lucky because I was able to make my hobby my profession.
Table tennis shop - Category navigation
In terms of the category navigation, our
ping pong shop is divided into
two areas. This is based on the fact that we want to offer our best possible advice not only for club players, but also for
hobby players. We have made the experience that hobby and recreational players prefer to use the upper menu because they are not yet as familiar with the table tennis "scene". Therefore, we have even added a separate category for this interest group.
Club players usually know their way around. They are searching for concrete products, such as a rubber from a specific brand and with a specific thickness. Also, such players study certain specifications of a specific ping pong blade by using our summary tables. These are helpful to easily and quickly find the lightest blade, for example.
The upper categories of our table tennis shop
In the upper menu of our table tennis shop, which is oriented from left to right, you can see several menu items. These can be assigned to the respective interest groups. We have, therefore, identified various customer groups / areas of interest:
- Blog
- Club players
- Club equipment
- Hobby / recreational players
At this point, we want to focus a bit more on our first point, our table tennis
blog at tt-shop.com. Our blog section is divided into three categories:
- Configurator
- Guidebook
- Test Review1. Under the sub-category "Configurator", you can find a link which guides you to our extensive description of how you can compile your own, individual ping pong paddle. As you might already know, advanced and / or professional table tennis players usually compile their paddle by themselves. This is because their gaming profile, their style, techniques, skills, and preferences are so unique and special that a "usual" finished racket can hardly meet these requirements. In these cases, tt-shop.com has developed the table tennis racket configurator. This innovative tool helps you selecting and combining your individual and desired blade including the rubbers. For this, we provide summary tables and detailed product descriptions with self-written contents.
Please note that compiling your own racket (as an advanced or professional ping pong player) is part of the very last step when it comes to the purchase behavior of table tennis equipment. Prior to this step, there are 3 other steps.
The
first one is related to hobby table tennis players. For these, more simple hobby rackets are totally fine. If you want to proceed with table tennis in a more serious way, you might want to enter a table tennis club. This corresponds to the
second step. For such purposes, simple and cheap "run-of-the-mill" rackets are not sufficient anymore. What you need are rackets of higher quality, which exhibit a longer durability and the possibility to change the rubbers (as you will constantly improve and change your gaming style). In the
third step, you will start to take part in tournaments and official competitions. For this purpose, you are recommended to choose professional or high-quality ping pong paddles. These can either be pre-assembled, our you compile them on your own (which corresponds to the
fourth step briefly described above).
2. The
sub-category "Guidebook" contains another five categories. We have created an informative web page in order to provide you essential and fundamental knowledge of
what basic equipment is necessary to play ping pong. This
first category includes table tennis rackets (a.k.a. ping pong paddles) and its components (blade, rubbers, handle, head of the blade, etc.). Of course, also the topics ping pong table, ping pong balls, table tennis robot, are presented. Furthermore, we inform you about other table tennis equipment and accessories, such as shoes, cases, or backpacks.
The
second category is our
straight and honest advice when it comes to the purchase of a paddle. There, we show you pros and cons of simple and cheap table tennis rackets versus professional rackets. We further address topics whether or not there is a best ping pong paddle? Depending on your gaming level and style, we also provide concrete recommendations. However, there are even more topics, so reading is highly recommended!
In our
third category we specifically focus on
advice in terms of buying a table tennis racket for beginners. Rackets for hobby and recreational players, and for beginners in particular, should be chosen thoroughly. There are some hints and rules to consider, which we explain and present in a clear way. We also talk about paddles for advanced and professional players.
After all these tips and hints, it is of course also very important to
properly clean your table tennis rubbers. How this is achieved is part of the
fourth category.
In our fifth category, we show you some
table tennis accessories for club players. These include many products, such as bags, cases, cleaners, glues, towels, etc.
3. Finally, we have written several
"Test Reviews" dealing with the topic "table tennis robot". For this
sub-category, there are currently three further categories.
The
first category is a detailed test report on certain
Joola ping pong robots. We have assessed the models Joola Shorty, Joola TT Buddy V300, Joola TT Buddy V200, and Joola TT Buddy V100. Check out the link above to see the interesting test results and detailed descriptions!
The
second category is related to a detailed
comparison of certain Robo Pong robots from Donic. The Newgy Robo Pong table tennis robots we evaluated were the Robo Pong 2055, Robo Pong 3050XL, Robo Pong 545, and the Robo Pong 1055. We also provide some basics regarding Robo Pong ping pong robots.
In our
third category we have created a huge
test report on many different table tennis robots. We also included basic information in terms of pros and cons of ball machines and our extensive ranking including detailed product descriptions. Reading through this is really worth it. We wish you a lot of fun!
The side categories of our table tennis shop
The side menu of our ping pong shop was mainly designed according to the
needs of the players. This menu is particularly suitable for ping pong players who are searching for the optimal table tennis equipment. Here you can find:
- Table tennis offers and the latest bargains for you
- Table tennis rubbers, sorted according to brands and product families including all manufacturer specifications
- Table tennis blades, sorted according to brands and product families
- Table tennis rackets, starting with simple finished paddles all the way up to professional paddles, paddle service, and ping pong paddles sorted according to brands
- Table tennis accessories, such as bags, cases, cleaners, glues, edge tapes, or blade sealing
- Table tennis balls, divided into the categories celluloid and plastic balls, and divided into large and small packs
- Table tennis robots, from simple robots without automated ball return system to high-tech ball machines
- Table tennis shoes, sorted according to brands + a shoe test report
- Table tennis clothing, including ping pong jerseys, shorts, and tracksuits. Furthermore, you can find textile accessories like towels, socks, or headbands.
- and more (we are working on this)
My table tennis shop - The history and origin of tt-shop.com
When we have actually opened our
table tennis shop in early 2015 (at this time, I (Matthias) was in my parental leave), we didn´t realize how much work, time, and dedication it would cost to really do this project. Besides the fact that Matthias had to change diapers and he had many sleepless nights with crying babies, there were many ideas just pouring into us.
Sure, our aim was clear and concise: We wanted to do everything
quite differently compared to the big ping pong dealers. We wanted to
change the table tennis world in the world wide web, and we wanted to offer the
best service possible. After a while, the constantly evolving, sometimes confusingly written, notes began to pile up. But there was really nothing practically achieved yet. So one thing was really obvious to us: We needed a business plan!
Of course, many of you (who want to create a company) will now probably say: "You can do this without a business plan!", or: "It´ll work out somehow!" Well, what can we say - our experience shows that those 6 months it took us longer to get really started (due to the creation of the business plan) were really worth it! NOW, NOW we can start! Now it really comes to the actual implementation of what we had planned for almost two years back then.
We clearly have to mention at this point that there is a
huge difference between an idea and the practical implementation. No matter how many different marketing ideas you might have, the real work takes places somewhere else: Namely at home, within your own "four walls" and in your free time. It takes place where you have to survive the first time in a loss-free way as the managing director, where you have to do all the unpleasant work yourself and where you
often doubt and just have to
bite your way through, especially in the early days.
The things you can see when visiting our ping pong shop (online or our store in Dippoldiswalde) is only a
fraction of the work that has to be done. The part that can be seen in public corresponds to the part that makes fun the most. It is also the part we have already received a lot of praise (what we are very grateful for), and it also is the part that (hopefully) convinces you to buy in our table tennis shop:
- clear and nice shop design
- self-written product descriptions
- transparent discount system
- service via email & editorial consulting
- our own product photos
- personal table tennis blog
At this point, we could really list more things that we have thought about, and what real prerequisites for a
good table tennis store are. For our future, we will integrate more of these things. As already mentioned earlier, there are many things still in the planning process which will be implemented step by step. This is particularly true for our English internet appearance. In this regard, we kindly ask you for some patience. Thank you!
We would also be very happy if you (provided of course you want to) could name us the things you find positive or negative in terms of our overall appearance. Please be direct and tell us what we can improve. For this, you can use the comment function of our ping pong shop. We are looking forward to your help. Thank you!
Tikotec UG - More than just a table tennis shop
This online table tennis shop was
founded by three persons. The name of the company is as follows:
- Tikotec UG (limited liability)
Whereas UG stands for
entrepreneurial company.
For those of you who might ask themselves what all these "new-fangled" forms of business mean, here is a brief explanation. The entrepreneurial company (UG,
Unternehmens-
Gesellschaft in German) is similar to a limited liability company (Ltd). The legal obligations are exactly the same.
The only difference is that a UG does not require 50.000 Euro as the start-up capital. A UG can already be founded with 1 Euro of capital contribution. Of course, our ping pong shop is not based on so little money. The background as to why we decided for a UG lies in the limited liability. You never know what´s going to happen. Therefore, this was an important criteria to all of us.
the founders in detail:
- Matthias Bormann
- finished is degree (M.A.) in Sports Science & Sports Engineering
- licensed trainer (C)
- currently youth trainer at Post SV Dippoldiswalde

Our ping pong retail shop - The ping pong shop in Dippoldiswalde close to Dresden (Germany)
Since
summer 2018, we are very happy because we were able to open our own
local table tennis store. This table tennis shop is located in the center of Dippoldiswalde, Saxony, Germany (east part of Germany). Dippoldiswalde is a small and
historic city with approx. 14,400 inhabitants. The first appearance reaches way back into the 12th century. One important industrial activity in Dippoldiswalde was mining. Dippoldiswalde is close (30 min drive) to Dresden, a beautiful city with approx. 500,000 inhabitants. Also, the Czech Republic (approx. 25-30 km) and Poland (approx 120 km) are quite close to Dippoldiswalde.
In 2015, when we started as a pure online dealer, opening a real local
ping pong store was a vision that was simply not reachable and part of the distant future. Looking back, we are now really happy, thankful, and proud to welcome you in our own table tennis store.
In our
small but nice table tennis shop in Dippoldiswalde you can have
your own ping pong paddle put together. You can also get the
latest rubbers and blades. Furthermore, there are many offers, discounts, and bargains in terms of ping pong clothing (such as jerseys, shoes, etc.). Last but not least, we can offer you a very
