The iPong pro is the second table tennis robot in their line of inexpensive ping pong robots. Well this table is exactly that, inexpensive. At about the same price as it’s earlier counter-part the ipong-topspin, the iPong pro has different characteristics and different abilities that make it a better ping pong robot overall. While the iPong topspin fails to have some of the spin capabilities, the Ipong pro table tennis robot can do shots like the topspin, backspin, and heavy-top spin. Overall, the Ipong pro is a great training robot that any individual considering purchasing should check out.
Specifications:
  • Plastic
  • Imported
  • Pro ping pong trainer robot with topspin, back spin, and oscillation features
  • Package includes iPong Pro Robot, remote control, A/C adapter, and setup & instruction manual
  • Wired remote allows players to set pace and control core oscillation for ball placement
  • Shoots more than 100 balls before reloading
  • One year warranty
  • Only works with regulation size 40mm balls. Balls Not Included
The I-Pong Pro is for Table tennis players that want to practice alone but also want to receive on-coming shots like in a real setting. While this a decent table, I don’t advice purchasing this table for the efforts of practice if you are over the 16, there are other, better suited higher quality robots that will better your efforts. While this a decent robot, it doesn't have some the capabilities such as swiveling or the automatic random feature that really makes it similar to playing against a real person.
A bad thing about this robot is the short chord. While training robots are supposed to be rigorous, it’s not supposed to be from walking over to change the settings on the robot. It’s not wire-less, so you’ll have to physically change them every time, which can become annoying. However, this is still a decent table for the price.
It seems iPong created this robot for this worried about their budget or for the younger generation. So I hope that if your are planning on purchasing this product, you have the right expectations in mind. This is not the table you purchase for rigorous table tennis practice, this is the robot you purchase to impress your children or teens who are just getting into the sport.
Conclusion: This is a cheap ping pong robot and it was designed to be as such. There are limited features and the robot’s capabilities make it difficult to really see the life-like practice this product advertises. However that should not discourage individuals who are looking for a toy or product that a younger or teen may enjoy, this is a great robot for the fun of play and not for practice.
I do recommend looking up purchasing a table tennis net for behind your table. It is highly convenient to have a net that prevent you from having to pick up every shot you take. Now, you would only have to pick up the shots you miss, which will be less and less.
Overview: Stiga Baja Outdoor Table Tennis Table is an outdoor Table tennis table for individuals that want a decent mid-tier table that won’t break the bank but still provides a good level of playing that won’t be ruined by weather conditions such as too much rain or sun. Overall, this table is pretty sturdy but there are other tables that have better reported characteristics and qualities. That being said, this table has some unique qualities that make it worth the review that any interested or concerned individual that is looking for a Table tennis table should check out.
Specifications:
  • Outdoor Table with Exceptional Durability and Play-ability
  • Perfect For a Deck, Garage, or Covered Porch
  • Quick-play Chassis for Quick and Easy Assembly
  • Aluminum Composite Top Won't Warp or Rust
  • 2" Self-Opening Steel Legs with Leg Levelers
  • 5" All-Terrain, Double Wheels with Locks
  • 72" Pivoting, All-Weather Net and Post Included
What's Different About This Table? A great characteristic of this table that separates it from some of the other outdoor tables is the quick-play chassis. While some of the indoor tables have this specialty, there aren't many outdoor tables that can be assembled in less than an hour. Not only can you quickly assemble this table, but bringing it in a and out of storage is not a problem at all. The top of the table, the playing surface, is great for any outdoor Table tennis table. It’s got an aluminum composites top that is designed to be completely weather proof, so you can be sure that this table won’t be ruined if you leave it in the rain a few times on accident. That being said, we still think you should protect your table with a cover, just because it’s an outdoor table doesn't mean you need to try your hardest to ruin it, any quality Table tennis table requires a little proper attention and care.
This table has 2” self-opening steel legs that again, make transporting and opening this table a breeze. Many players, mostly recreational players, don’t play Ping-pong everyday, therefore a table with a quick ability to fold and be ready to play is great. Unfolding and setting up use to be one of the worst qualities of buying a Table tennis table, but not anymore!
Buying an outdoor table, you expect to roll the table over a series of rocks or maybe even grass. To prevent any mishaps and to make the whole process move a lot quick, this table was built with 5” all terrain, double wheels with locks for extra security in-case you have children that plan on playing on this table.
Conclusion: Overall, this table is great for any recreational Ping-pong player that doesn't want to spend over $1000 on a more expensive higher quality table. It doesn't have the best characteristics, but then again a table with the best characteristics is going to cost you thousands of dollars. Buying Table tennis table is about balancing expectations , this table will give you exactly what you expect, a great affordable Table tennis table.
Introduction: The JOOLA Midsize Table tennis table is the best mid size Ping Pong table you can purchase. I'm not just saying that to try and convince you, it really is. The main aspect interested buyers are most concerned about is the size requirement of this table. Well this table is 2/3 the size, small enough to fit almost anywhere but large enough to still enjoy a good game of Ping Pong.
However what really separate the JOOLA Midsize is the height of the table. Most of the mini Ping pong tables on the market today are shorter than normal, built for small toddlers. This can be expected from a shorter table, but it doesn't work for adults. This table however, is the standard height you would expect from a normal Table tennis table. Therefore you can still play a great competitive game of Table tennis without having to scrunch over and hurt your back or play on your knees.
Another characteristic one considering this table should be aware of, is the table's surface thickness. On Ping pong tables, the surface thickness is the most important part and decides the flow of the game. You don't want a table with dead spots or a poor inadeqate bounce, and you won't get one if you play with this table. With a 5/8" inch playing surface, you can expect this table to provide years of fun.
Conclusion: If you want a great mini Ping pong table, then choose the JOOLA Midsize. While the height of the table is standard so adults can still have a good time, it's smaller length wise to compensate for tighter areas. Either way, you can expect this table to provide a great level of playing for a relatively small purchase.
Introduction: The DHS a4002 is a great beginner racket for any interested Table tennis player. If you are looking to purchase a cheap table tennis racket or a Table tennis racket that any child could use, this is the racket for you. At only $20, you know that incase this racket doesn’t turn out to be the one you want, you can always return it or simply purchase another more expensive one. However, you should not underestimate this racket, it really is a value purchase for any Table tennis player looking for an inexpensive but comfortably solid recreational paddle.
Specifications:
  • Table Tennis Shakehand Racket of 7 ply pure wood
  • Rubber: Red Pimples In / Black Pimples In
  • Loop with quick-attack; Stronger power expresses speed and spin
  • Updated packaging and performance for #X4002
  • If you find anything wrong with the paddle and want to return - please make sure the product in brand new condition and the covers of rubbers CAN NOT be torn down.
The construction of the racket is what you would expect for $20, rather cheap. But not so cheap that you would expect this racket to perform how it does. The 7-plys of wood that you would normally see in a more expensive racket is in this Table tennis paddle, not sure why, but it helps the racket perform the higher-quality racket without a doubt.
The DHS a4002 table tennis racket really is a champion of cheap rackets. The only racket that otherwise compares to this beginner ping pong paddle is the Stiga Titan. Otherwise this is a great racket.
Interestingly enough, this paddle’s tackiness is the result of a fish made product, therefore it actually smells quite pungent at first. No worries however, as the smells should dissipate within the week after playing with the paddle for a little while.
Conclusion: In the end, you should purchase this table if you are a beginner or recreational player looking for an advanced racket or even a beginner racket. While this paddle may be priced as a really cheap inexpensive beginner racket it performs like a higher quality racket, therefore you can use this racket as an intermediate player as well. People have reported that the spin is quite good, perhaps to the fish product, however the power is not quite as some would have hoped. Ultimately this cheap Table tennis racket that any young child or person not caring about playing in competitions would love. This racket, or the Stiga Titan, is much recommended.
