Amazon isn’t great for balls but I’d get these for multi ball. Nittaku Japan Star 40+ Table Tennis Balls (24 Balls) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CNPQINC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_ufoRDb5K8FP9C and it’s from a legit vendor. (Paddle Palace) you could get cheap celluloids for a lot less
Hello
I found these two from Amazon
300 usd refurbished Joola 15mm table - https://www.amazon.com/JOOLA-REFURBISHED-Inside-Table-Tennis/dp/B07BDWXYKW/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=table+tennis+table&qid=1556433273&s=gateway&sr=8-5
400 usd Stiga 15 mm table (bit out of price range.) - https://www.amazon.com/Advantage-Competition-Ready-Indoor-Tennis-Preassembled/dp/B01JMTDZ5Q/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=table+tennis+table&qid=1556433984&refinements=p_85%3A2470955011&rnid=2470954011&rps=1&s=sporting-goods&sr=1-3
350 usd Stiga 13 mm table - https://www.amazon.com/Advantage-Competition-Ready-Indoor-Tennis-Preassembled/dp/B01JMTDZ5Q/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=table+tennis+table&qid=1556433984&refinements=p_85%3A2470955011&rnid=2470954011&rps=1&s=sporting-goods&sr=1-3
Stiga and Joola are reputable table tennis brands so you should be ok.
Be careful when purchasing from Amazon, because I'm seeing a lot of tables that are not full sized.
Edited from a comment I posted some time ago:
https://www.allabouttabletennis.com/table-tennis-table.html
This section is a quick summary of what you should be looking for
>A full-sized table tennis table is 9ft x 5ft (or 274cm x 152.5cm).
This is more for club players so you can get away with thinner tables but regarding table thickness:
>12mm – The cheapest tables. Avoid at all costs! Terrible bounce.
>16mm – Not a great bounce. Only buy if on a tight budget.
>19mm – Ideally the minimum. Will cost you £300.
>22mm – Good bounce. Ideal for clubs. Cheaper than 25mm.
>25mm – Competition standard table. Will cost at least £500.

You also have the option of checking with Craigslist. When purchasing second hand tables, make sure the table's in playable condition by checking for surface damage, leg stability, playing on it for a bit (to check for consistent bounce), and confirming its specifications.
For someone who plays "seriously", as in willing to join a club, take lessons, enter competitions, etc. you really need a custom setup and will cost at least about $50 per racket + rubbers. For someone who just wants to play casually with friends or in the office something like this and this is totally fine. I saw some rackets that were even cheaper but they weren't inverted rubbers, which is probably the kind you want. You can tell it's inverted because the outside of the rubber is smooth and you can press into it a little bit because of the sponge separating the rubber and the wood.
Lol here you go.
Wow. Powerhouse of a listing. They really got their stuff perfected.
They have good descriptions, pictures, everything.
In the table tennis market, you really can't make different products like I stated above lol.
Looking at the market for: "ping pong set" the competition is pretty fierce.
By the looks of it, there is really no way you can own the entire market, but you could try and steal a slice of the pie.
My advice is to make your product a little different from this big seller, like adding an extra item they don't have.
PERSONALLY, I would add a carrying bag.
(Just make sure the added cost is justified; for a extra bag, I would add only $2-3USD)
You can see here: https://www.amazon.com/JP-WinLook-Ping-Pong-Paddle/dp/B0731VQ7VP/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=ping+pong+set&qid=1566182013&s=gateway&sr=8-3
This is a bestselling product in the category (currently OOS atm I think), but it doesn't have the net like you do.
So, if you also add a bag, you can give the customers a different option compared to the big seller, and you will be able to get some market share.
Disclaimer: I have no experience selling in the table tennis market, so I don't know the full economics, take my advice with a grain of salt and make sure the pricing works on your end.
> celluloid balls
they are different, you don't want practice with them
I selected random balls from amazon, 50 balls cost $10
https://www.amazon.com/KEVENZ-50-Pack-3-Star-Orange-Advanced/dp/B018JKE7F6/ref=sr_1_7?s=leisure-sports-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1539665523&sr=1-7&keywords=stiga
I'm far from a pro, just a enthusiastic amateur who plays semi regularly.
I invested in a outdoor table just recently and am pretty happy with the choice I went with:
https://www.amazon.com/Cornilleau-Crossover-Indoor-Outdoor-Tennis/dp/B01BI669RW/ref=sr_1_1?s=amazon-devices&ie=UTF8&qid=1525192147&sr=8-1&keywords=Cornilleau+250s
I researched a ton and even played on a few (Kettler, Cornilleau, Stiga) at similar price points. The Cornilleau felt the best and I also really like the giant wheels which make it way easier to maneuver around the yard and roll to it's storage position after. It folds open and closed VERY easily as well which means it's not a chore to put it away after every session. Finally it has height adjustments on each leg which make it pretty easy to get it stable on uneven ground. The only real complaint I have about it is that the leg height adjustment involves screwing this plastic foot in/out which can be sort of a pain in the ass sometimes.
The Stiga outdoor table I played on had tiny little wheels which would have been great if I only had to deal with a concrete driveway/garage but I have a gravel driveway and grass lawn to deal with so it was immediately disqualified.
The Kettler I looked at (the same one Costco is selling now) was pretty good in terms of wheels and folding features and what not but the table didn't feel as good in play.
I also bought the cover for the table when in folded position and I'm less happy with that. It's extremely thin and I can see it ripping easily as time goes on. However, we've got a seamstress in the family and I'm going to have them copy it with some more robust fabric once that happens.
Instead of acrylics you could try press-on nails or ping pong balls. They're similar except I think they have much better tone. You can also apply them more towards the tip so you don't ruin the whole nail bed.
I'd recommend the Palio three star premade paddle in that case. It is an affordable premade from Palio.
That paddle is more than enough to learn the game with.
Hey guys, my wife is starting to play and we were looking for a good beginner paddle to her, she plays penhold and looking in the internet we found this one, does someone know about this paddle? Also, is ok to handle this paddle as a penhold?
Read some good reviews on it but never saw this brand before, or if you have some other suggestion, something with good control would be good as she is starting to learning the basics.
Any tips is appreciated, thank you!
hello, I'm a beginner. I want to buy a new racket from Ebay, Amazon or aliexpress (Free shipping to Israel). I need a lot of control and my budget is 25$. I thought about this racket:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LZEWZGE/ref=as_at?creativeASIN=B002GJY338&linkCode=w61&imprToken=7W7.v.fBBAwwLaWaXHhVIQ&slotNum=6&tag=bpptrpaddle-20&th=1
Edit: I think I am more of a defensive player. I love more control then speed.
What do you think?
aluminum top best for outdoor use. more durable.

few amazon options
I would 1) invest in better windows; 2) make sure your furnace is actually circulating air; 3) spend a bit more on your container.
It seems to be ignoring the condensation is Penny wise and pound foolish.
I use a cooler for my sous vide. I use aluminum foil (usually two pieces to cover most of the opening). And then use cutting boards to hold it in place. And even if I run it for 48 hours I never get the same problems you have - and my home is less than 1,000 sq ft. You will notice condensation pretty fast.
Otherwise buy a boatload if cheap ping pongs from the Internet (maybe like this? I haven’t used it. Beer Pong Balls, 144 pack, 38mm, Great for Table Tennis & Ping Pong Tournaments, Carnival Games, Parties, By Sportly® https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01AH133KU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_EAovCbGXTCBAJ )
Crikey. That condensation scares me to hell. When do you start looking for mushrooms growing behind your chesterfield?
I'm wanting to buy some training balls, and I'm wondering if this is a worthwhile purchase?

Or, in general, what makes a good "training" ball?
Amazon says they’re the same weight

It is packaging for Beer Ping Pong Balls Assorted Color Plastic Ball (50 Pack) on Amazon for $9.88
I happen to play a close-to-the-table pips hitting game myself, and I'm currently using this blade: https://www.amazon.com/YINHE-Table-Tennis-Blade-Handle-Flared/dp/B00ZBA2PMK/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1539897555&sr=8-2&keywords=yinhe
​
The Stiga Clipper (and its cousins), Avalox P700, and most other 7-ply stiff blades are also traditionally popular among pips-hitters.
Buy this rubber and sponge and slap it on any decent sports store (dicks, MC, etc) blade and you've got yourself a trainer blade. This rubber has been used by whole teams as their training rubber. It's not as tacky so in order to create great spin they had the exaggerate their motions. It still has plenty of bite compared to store boughts so I think it's a great transition before a major move towards the next setup. I've used this on my backhand for a while in order to defend and to practice my topspin drives.
