Table tennis is a great inclusive sport and is suitable for all ages and where both sexes can compete against each other in an evenly matched game.
The game of table tennis is most probably descended from a medieval game called Royal tennis which was played in the 12th century. However it wasn’t until the late 1800s that the game began to really evolve and resemble the game as it is known today. Back in those days the table tennis bats were made only of wood and it wasn’t until 1902 that Englishman E.C.Goode was credited with putting rubber on his blade to help generate more spin on the ball. During this period the ball, too, also evolved from being made of cork to the hollow plastic ball. Wooden bats or paddles remained popular until the 1950s, after which, sponge and rubber coated bats became much more widely used. Read the rest of this entry
When you’re looking into buying a table tennis table there are a number of things that you should consider. Let’s look at each of these factors in turn:
Indoor or Outdoor Table Tennis Table?
Table tennis tables are typically divided into indoor and outdoor varieties and besides the obvious there are some subtle differences between the two types. Outdoor tables are generally built from materials which will not warp or fade due to being exposed to the elements. This is important if the table will be left outside and not put away in a shed or garage when not in use. However there is a trade-off and this is that the playing surface of an outdoor tennis table is not generally not as good as that of an indoor tennis table at a similar price point. You can still use your indoor table tennis table outdoors on fine days, just remember to bring it back inside and don’t leave it out when it’s raining on in direct sunlight for too long.

There are many table tennis table manufacturers out there so why do I recommend that you choose a Sportcraft table tennis table?
Sportcraft was founded in 1926 by Walter Holdstein who, recognising an opportunity to bring Victorian English games to the USA, began importing these games, including badminton, croquet and table tennis. These family orientated games were a big hit. In 1926, the General Sportcraft Company was set up and immediately secured a unique niche in the marketplace. This long heritage of producing sporting goods secured Sportcraft’s legacy as a pioneer in providing family fun and over the years, Sportcraft has remained a leader in the home recreation industry. Today, Sportcraft Table Tennis tables are amongst the best in their field and more than 13 million customers a year choose Sportcraft products. However, and most importantly:
