This is an innovative website that lets you find reviews and ratings of table tennis equipment, where we can rely on contributions by the community, rather than the table tennis manufacturing companies, for unbiased information. Normally when looking for information on a particular piece of equipment on other forum websites, you need to use the forum search function. On TableTennisRatings.com, the discussions are located with the equipment pages themselves. And, for the first time on the Internet, you can compare across brands and across different criteria.

To locate an item of equipment, either select a category from the menu, or use one of the search options.

We hope you find this site useful. Please contribute to it if you can, because you will be helping the community.

The software used to develop this website is continually being upgraded. For some of the criteria, a lower rating does not necessarily mean "worse", thus they are now excluded from the overall rating. The criteria that are excluded are the following: speed, sponge hardness, topsheet hardness, high throw angle, spin reversal effect, confusion factor, weight, reglue effect, hardness.

I was fortunate to attend the ITTF - North America Championships in Mississauga, Canada, on April 3.  Here are some of the images I was able to capture:

Croatia’s Sandra Paovic was seriously injured in a car accident in Paris on Friday 30th January 2009. She suffered a severe cervical-spinal injury; at the moment Sandra cannot move her legs and can barely move her arms. According to French and German doctors, there is little hope for her full recovery.

She will need nine months of rehabilitation at a special clinic that will cost around 300,000 Euros. Unfortunately Sandra cannot expect financial support from her family; her mother recently suffered a stroke and her father is unemployed.

The European Table Tennis Union has established a special Solidarity Fund.  Here is the article on the ITTF website.

As of July 2010, 100% of the revenue generated through TableTennisRatings.com will be donated to this Solidarity Fund.  You too can help, by ordering any equipment that you normally buy from one of the retailers listed on the Price Comparison page, through the link on that page.
