Which brand name is the most popular in your country?

[Flocke]

Which table-tennis company would you call the market leader in your country?

[Fabian13]

I think Butterfly is played by the most people, but Stiga is already the best.

[philwolters]

It is hardly possible to choose a best brand,but Butterfly is the most popular brand in germany.At least in the west Andro is played more and more.

[sVeNd]

i also think that butterfly is the most-selling brand in germany in addition of all german bundesländer (districts) but there huge differences between all the districts in percentation of equipment.

What other brands are common in Europe ?

I am somewhat surprised that brands like Butterfly and Stiga are that popular with you. I thought Donic would be the more obvious choice since popular players like Waldner, Persson and Applegren are (were) sponsored by this company (Donic is German, isn't it ?).(At least I deduced form other post here that they are popular in your country).

I understand that Rosskof (is that his name ?) is sponsored by Joola and Boll (the one who won the Brazilian Open) ? (How old is he ?)

i think boll is twenty years old.

but you are right somehow: donic is also played very much, especially in the north, i think, while stiga is played more in the south..

[Cissai]

Don´t forget JOOLA, here in the north of Germany many player from lower to upper classes play Joola rubbers and woods.

[Rigornd]

Donic is also played really often in the south. As far as I can see in my district it is the most played company. Especially the woods. Rubbers I think there is Butterfly also quite popular.

You were right when you posted it. In the meantime, he has become 21 years old!

You might have the impression that Stiga is played more frequently in the south because some people in this forum play it. That is because ml is promoting it, doesn't he? . Personally, I do not know many Stiga players.

With his classic rubbers like the Sriver series, Butterfly is still the leading brand - more or less all over the world. In England, it is quite popular as well, thanks to its Grand Prix Tournaments.

In Germany, Joola is quite popular in terms of blades, TSP has convinced a lot of players with its different Triple rubbers.
Donic is also quite frequently played, but their rubbers did not really succeed in the last couple of years, blades seem to work better.

In France, it is not that different, with the exception that we meet brands like Banco that are completely unknown in other countries but very popular in France.

I wonder that so many players think that Stiga is the best brand! There is no (Bundesliga) - Team who is sponsored by Stiga! And there is no good player like Boll, Waldner, Samsonov ...aso who plays Stiga! Everybody plays Butterfly, Donic or Joola... But I think Andro is still coming...(I hope so!)
