I am thinking of buying something, but probably won't. Would some of you mugs mind doing the research into it and letting me know the result?

It could be handy for doing not very good George Formby impressions.

I buy the rubber sheets separately

You may find these are more convenient

Btw, did you know that you need bigger balls to play table tennis nowadays?

Yes: a very welcome change, the new rules play to my strengths.

Accy will probably end up buying the world's only surviving metro cabriolet or some such.

I have sod all hand - eye coordination, so ping pong or wiff waff or whatever it's called is so alien to me that I'll just say... Buy it, you know you want too!! 🤣

I don't think much of the colour. Can you post links to 28 different makes for comparison.

I used to enjoy table tennis, but have you ever tried watching on TV? The ball moves so fast you can't see it.

Yes, but byying

Thanks for taking the time to compile a serious reply to what was meant to be a humourous thread, and a bit of a dig at our Accy and his car buying habits!
I picked a fairly random item in the table tennis bat, but having said that I used to play quite a lot when younger (i.e. nearly half a century ago) and now semi retired I am thinking of taking it up again with a local group of other retirees. Being slightly put off by having a dodgy left hip as a result of a cycling accident a few years back, which restricts side to side movement a bit.
If I do start playing again it will be beginner level, and I will be using some of my existing collection of 4 bats which are not very old and are hardly used, sadly. One of them has no sponge or rubber at all, just wood with a fine sandpaper playing surface. Good for playing against an opponent who puts strong spin on the ball, but I'm not even sure if such a bat is allowed in competitive play?

Well at least my long/seemingly never ending thread about buying a new to me car is in the Motoring section of CC! How many posters post cycling related threads in the Cafe section and not the General Cycling Discussions section! Quite a lot I'd say!!!😉👍
