TOP 5 indoor tennis tables

The inexpensive table of the German company Sponeta is designed for playing in rooms with humidity no higher than 60% (otherwise the tabletop will begin to "swell" from moisture). In the absence of an opponent, you can lift only one half of the table and train alone. At the same time, reliable plastic clips will keep the side in an upright position.

Four wheels are responsible for transportation, two of which have a rotary system (i.e. it is possible to roll only a certain side). The stable position of the table is provided by legs made of hollow pipe 25 mm in diameter, covered with a polyester anti-corrosion coating. The powerful steel frame of the table is able to withstand the weight of a person if he "leans" on it during the game. But unfortunately, the end of the table is not protected by edging, which is why there is a possibility of damage to it when hitting with a racquet.

A nice addition is a holder for four rackets and eight balls, so all the "game equipment" can be stored in the table. The "Pilot" type mesh can be adjusted in height, but the tension is always the same, since there is no tensioner.

Kettler has been producing high-quality tennis tables for the seventh decade and Kettler Axos Indoor 1 is a clear confirmation of this. The 16-millimetre tabletop is made of chipboard and has an anti-reflective coating that protects the player from "sunbeams". It is especially useful for school gyms, where there are many windows and training sessions are held during the daytime.

The Kettler Axos Indoor 1 tennis table is very compact and is only 49 cm wide when folded. Thanks to such dimensions, it takes up little space and will fit freely in the utility room or garage. The installation of the mesh takes less than 2 minutes and at any time it can be adjusted in height and tension force. Unfortunately, the design of the table does not allow you to fold it without removing the grid (the clamping system is fixed on the tabletop), so every new game you need to re-dress the grid.

Wheels are responsible for stability and transportation, two of which (double) are the leading ones. The disadvantage is the lack of a holder for rackets and balls. Also, during sharp spins or trimming, you can touch the end of the table and damage it, since there is no metal edging.

The German-made Donic Indoor Roller 400 table is equipped with two spacious "drawers" for rackets, balls and other tennis equipment (for example, pads and glue). As much as possible, such "boxes" can hold up to 10 rackets. The table top with a thickness of 16 mm provides a good rebound of the ball, but unfortunately, it is not protected by edging designed to protect the end from being hit by a racquet.

The tennis table is initially equipped with a grid that can be adjusted in height. The fastening mechanism of the grid itself is mounted not on the countertop, but on the frame, so when folding the halves of the table, the grid does not need to be removed. To train alone, you can fold only one half of the table.

Four pressure locks located on both sides of the structure provide protection against spontaneous folding/unfolding of the table. A characteristic click of the lock will make it clear that the table top is securely fixed. All plastic elements of the table are made of high-quality polymer composition, for which the manufacturer gives at least three years warranty.

The model of the tennis table Sponeta S3-87i is the newest of the Sportline series, the release of which the German company began several years ago. The table is available in one colour of the countertop (blue) and two colours of the metal frame (black and white). The 19 mm thick tabletop has an anti-reflective coating, so that the light from the sun or from lamps will not shine during the game. It also has a protective edging made of metal with a width of 36 mm, which will prevent damage to the coating even when hitting it with a racquet.

An important feature of the Sponeta S3-87i table is the unevenness compensators placed in the table legs. Thanks to them, you can set a perfectly even position even on a crooked wooden floor. All four double wheels are driving, so you can roll the table either side. To fold the table, just press the red lever at the edge of the countertop and both halves will drop at the same time. Moreover, it is worth noting that it is not necessary to remove the grid at the same time, since it has a mount independent of the countertop.

In order to transport the table without damaging the material, there are rubber pads on the corners of the table top. The mesh is equipped with a screw regulator responsible for raising / lowering, as well as a cord tensioner that allows you to tighten the mesh if it is slightly sagging. Such an "equipped" table is not cheap, but you will get maximum comfort from playing on this "German".

Cornilleau Competition 740 has ITTF (International Table Tennis Federation) certification, which allows the table to be used at official tournaments. The increased thickness of the tabletop of 25 mm ensures the highest quality rebound when performing topspins and direct strikes. It is protected by a 70 mm metal edging. Regardless of the lighting, the surface of the table does not shine, as it has an anti-reflective coating.

The table legs have wide stable floor level compensators. The table legs have wide stable floor level compensators for installation on uneven floors. The legs also have a special U-shaped aluminium bridge, which allows you to attach a wheelchair. This design feature makes the table in demand at the Paralympics, as well as in clubs where disabled people train. Stability of the table is also given by four driving wheels with stoppers.

The mesh is adjustable in height and tension by means of a screw pulley and a rope threaded through the upper edge of the mesh. To fold the table, the grid does not need to be removed – it falls between the halves of the table thanks to a special fastening element. The table itself is quite heavy – 119 kg, but this is due to the thick tabletop and reinforced frame frame. The price of this table is not small, so it is mainly suitable for sports clubs and complexes that train athletes and regularly hold tournaments.
