The kettler vario net is very good. It took me only a few minutes to install it and most minutes I was thinking that I can do it without reading the one page instruction manual (most is doable without looking it, but the last step, how to attach the remaining string -is the only difficult one) Since then I just enjoy it (I suffered cheaper nets for a long time while was wandering why such an easy thing as table tennis net binding cannot be "improved"). This net is great and looks greater. Just a great product overall.

The Kettler Stockholm Table Tennis Table is designed and built in Germany. It features a unique 7/8 inch aluminum composite top that is stronger and more durable than any wood, and more consistant than fiberglass. It weighs less than half of wood and is completely weatherproof. A special machine press fuses a heavy guage top sheet, a textured backsheet, and 1 inch square edge supports into an aluminum shell. Encased in the shell is a treated and protected high density composite core. The top surface is also coated with an electro-static powder-epoxy enamel to show off bright white markings while eliminating glare.

Bounce consistancy is so good that the Kettler Stockholm Table Tennis Table is the only non-wood table certified for international tournament play. The Kettler Stockholm Table Tennis Table can rollaway on lockable 12.1cm industrial strength casters. The Center transport base is made of highly impact resistance resin. Oversized legs move automatically during folding into half open playback position, or fully closed. Tournament net posts are built into the unit. Each side of the net features an individual thumb-wheel net tension device. Cord-suspended net comes with it.

Professional table tennis players grip their rackets in many different way. As per the rules of table tennis, there is no set way to hold the racket. There are two major families of styles; penhold and shakehand. There are other, less popular grips, but for now, we will focus only on these two.

Penhold Grip
Penhold styles have dipped in popularity recently because they had a huge weakness on the backhand side. This weakness puts new penhold players at a disadvantage against their shakehand opponents. Even with this, the best Penhold table tennis players have been winning world championships, the world cup, as well as the olympic games. The backhand weakness can be mitigated by having good footwork, or by using the reverse penhold backhand loop.


Shakehand Grip
The Shakehand grip has been around longer than any other grip. This grip places the index finger extended over the racket head perpendicular to the handle. It gives an almost even power spread over forehand and backhand shots, however, it also creates a wider gap in between. Almost every European table tennis player and ~67% of Asian players play with the Shakehand grip.

The dimensions of a table tennis table is about 9 feet by 5 ft by 30 inches high. This is equal 2.74m by 1.525m by 76 cm.

It is important to have the correct dimensions for your table tennis table because an irregularly shaped table will produce differing and varying bounces, which can be very bad for the players. Consistency is key to becoming a good ping pong player. However, if you are playing just fornfun, the dimensions of the table tennis table may not be an issue. If you are playing at the tournament level, or otherwise seriously, the performance of the table tennis table, and how the ball bounces, need to be perfect. Make sure your table has the correct dimensions and is free of any surface defects. Chips, cracks, bumps, or other obstructions can severely hinder your game.
