JOOLA Midsize Table Tennis Table (note: this is 2/3 the size of a standard table).You’ll have to adjust from playing on a smaller table at home to a bigger table at a table tennis club, which isn’t ideal. If you want to do serious training, a ¾ size table is not so good. You’ll get plenty of enjoyment from the table. I think this is fine if you’re only going to play for a bit of fun with friends and family.

It’s possible to buy a smaller table, one which is ¾ the size of a full size table. And if I use it to train with my robot, then I just push the table towards one end, and this gives me loads of space to play. But I mainly use it to play with my kids, so it is fine for this purpose. In my garden room, I have about 1.5 metres space either end of the table, which is less than the diagram above. So it’s possible to play with less space, but you’ll be more restricted in how you can play. If you go back from the table too much, you’ll bash your bat against a wall (not good). You’ll have to play close up to the table all the time. If you only have space for two or three steps back from the table, rather than four, you can still play, but it’s going to be tighter. You could just play with less space if your room isn’t quite as big as the measurements above. If you don’t have a room with this much space, you still have a few options. So you can see from the diagram above, ideally you need a room which is at least 6.74 metres long and 3.525 metres wide. This space is still a little on the tight side, but you will definitely have enough room to play. In an ideal scenario, you would have 4 steps back (approx 2 metres) behind each end of the table and 2 steps (approx 1 metre) at each side of the table. But you obviously need more space behind and to the side of the table to be able to play table tennis. The width of a full-size table tennis table is 1.525 metres. The length of a full-size table tennis table is 2.74 metres. Do you have enough space in your home for a table tennis table?

The first and most important thing to consider is space.

So in this blog post, I’ll share some advice about buying a table and give a few recommendations of decent (and affordable) tables you can buy. With all these purchases, I’d like to consider myself an expert at buying a table tennis table to use at home. For my new garden room, I purchased a lovely 22mm JOOLA World Cup Table. Then I decided to build a room in my garden, so we could play table tennis all year round. My kids eventually outgrew this, so I purchased an outdoor table for my garden. Since that original purchase, I have purchased three more tables! My garage got converted to a bedroom, so I bought a 3/4 size table top for my lounge. I set the table up in my garage, purchased a robot and played a lot of table tennis. It wasn’t the most expensive table available, but suited my needs and budget. Do I have enough space? Where am I going to store it? How much should I spend? Who am I going to play with? Am I really going to use it? Will I improve my table tennis skills? So many questions.Īfter weeks of deliberation and careful planning with my measuring tape, I bought a table – a Butterfly Easifold indoor table tennis table. A few years ago, I purchased a table tennis table for my home.
