Are Kettler tables any good?? - TT-NEWS Tischtennis Forum

zymbalist · #1 15.04.2002, 12:23

I am about to buy a table for myself
I have found a good bargain for a Kettler Oslo green indoor table, 19mm surface, for under 250 Euros. The alternative is a Joola Transport, again indoor 19mm, for 340 Euros. Is the Kettler any worse than the Joola? Do you have any alternatives to the two for about 300 Euros (that's my budget)
Thanks a lot!!

For home ,I think, the Kettler is the best.

Hi,

I think so, too! The Kettler table are good for the home activities!
But in the club hall you need a Joola table or an other table!

Kettler tables are good to play at home but for your club are Joola tables better.

Hi Folks,
Please, let me know something:

How could you determine a table good or bad? Which features are important for you? ...Colour?

...

Everything is relative

Pinguin · #8 04.08.2002, 23:30

yes, surely, color is the most important... if this doesn't fit to my hair colour, i will reject to play on such a table

well, a good table (tournaments) must fit to the rules and must be as easy to handle as possible - meaning it should not weight tons but it should be hard to move when in use and easy to put away when not in use...

Can anyone suggest to an inexperienced player what kind of outdoor tables are any good? Or is it a question simply of the more it costs the better it is? Chris

Well, we had a Kettler Outdoor table and it is still fine after 20 years.
But there is no comparison to a high class tournament table, neither in price nor in the qualities.
Except from the mechanical parts (no roller or kind of roller) a good table is determined by the surface and the thickness of the fibreboard which gives the ball the speed and let it bounce higher or lower.
