When Selecting a Ping Pong Table Consider:

- Portability: Foldable or Permanent
  
  Will you keep your ping pong table set up permanently in your ideal location? or do you want a foldable ping pong table so you can save space when it’s not in use? If you will be folding and opening the table frequently, look for one that can be easily set up by one person.

- Ping Pong Table Thickness
  
  Serious players generally want a top surface that is 1-inch thick for a good, even bounce. In general, the surface of ping pong table tops typically range from 1/2-inch to 1-inch. If you’re a more casual player, Century Billiards would still recommend a table with at least a 0.75-inch thickness. This will give the players a more consistent bounce and resist any warping that could occur.

- Ping Pong Table’s Frame, Support, and Height
  
  Regardless of the type of table you want, you should look for a ping pong table with strong legs and frame support. Just like anything else, the foundation of your table is vital to its durability. Leg levelers are a handy feature in case your floor isn’t even. The standard ping pong table height is 30 inches from the floor.

- Table Surface Flatness Level
  
  Warped or uneven surfaces can affect the bounce of the ball. Check all sides of the ping pong table to ensure that the playing surface is level. You can use a simple leveling tool to assist you in measuring this. If you need further assistance to make sure your ping pong table is flat and ready to be played on, Century Billiards offers leveling services too. (not just for pool tables)

- Indoor or Outdoor Ping Pong Table
  
  Do you want an outdoor ping pong table? Will you play exclusively indoors? Or do you want a portable table that allows you to do both? Either way, we have both indoor and outdoor ping pong tables for any space!

- The Ping Pong Table Net
  
  Look for net clamps that don’t dig into the surface or underside. Net attachments with a soft surface to grip the table without scratching it are best.

Benefits of Playing Ping Pong

People of All Ages Can play

Those who are less physically fit can compete equally with those in great shape.

It’s Easy to Learn

The rules are simple and quick to learn.

But It’s Hard to Master

The smaller space and racquets make ping pong much more challenging to win than tennis, badminton or squash.

Body and Mind

Ping pong challenges both the brain and the body making it a well-rounded exercise.

Stress Relief

Exercise releases endorphins, which improve your mood. Ping pong requires focus, which can take your mind off other problems – and it’s cathartic to smack the ball around.

All of these reasons and more make ping pong/table tennis a great activity for families.
