Our club received some limited money to buy 2 tables, cca 800 EUR/table. They need to be certified TT tables. We are currently using Stiga Premium Roller tables. We need to bring them in and our for each training session, so they have to have wheels, either each half or together-transportable. Also, it should be 25mm table, I don’t mind 28mm, but it gets over budget 🙂
We are quite happy with the Stiga tables, they are a bit faster, but everyone in the club likes it.
Honestly, I don’t know very much about tables. I do recognize that tables bellow 25 tend to be slower, this messes my serve a bit (others say also timing on shots), but in the area of 25 tables I can’t – I don’t know what is better or worse.
The neighbouring clubs use Butterfly Centrefold 25 and Butterfly Octet 25. I play on those regularly too, and its really fine. The Centrefold is over budget, even Octet is a bit over budget, but I’m ready to pay the extra – and so far, the Octet 25 is my primary candidate.
That is my initial position – you know I need to be on the safe side here. I’d welcome any input.
