A Pool Table And A Table Tennis Conversion Top Means Fun For The Whole Family

If you’ve been enjoying fun times with family and friends and a pool table has been involved then you’ll know that having a table in your home can give you hours of fun. This is an opportunity where young and old can enjoy each other's company in a safe environment. However, many people feel uncomfortable with the associations that pool has with the bar and gambling environment. The good news is that a pool table can be easily converted into a table tennis table through the installation of a table tennis conversion top, making the pool table wholesome, healthy fun for the entire circle of family and friends.A table tennis conversion top makes sense on a whole variety of levels. It can be placed on the top of the pool table with a minimum of fuss and bother and can be easily stored while not taking up a whole lot of room. The conversion top can be reversible in the more expensive models with the reverse side acting as an attractive dinner table or a table that can make a welcome extra surface for the placement of snacks for those who love to entertain.For those in the market for a table tennis conversion top, a good piece of advice is to purchase the unit from a reputable manufacturer. Although this may seem like common sense it is only in the past decade or so that the increasing popularity of table tennis (or ping pong as it is known in the United States) has led to the manufacture of high quality conversion tops, like the Stiga black table tennis conversion top. Even before purchasing a conversion top for your pool table always make sure of the dimensions of the pool table, in some instances the correct top will not be championship regulation size. The height of many pool tables also means that the table tennis conversion top will not convert the pool table into a table tennis table that conforms to international competition standards. If you’re not aiming to take your game to the next level but just want a fun afternoon with family and friends then this isn’t a problem, however if you’re serious about your game then the purchase of a full sized table might be worth considering. There are a couple of other factors that should be taken into account when considering the purchase of a table tennis conversion top. One of these is cost. You can pick up a satisfactory conversion top for about 120 dollars, but a top quality top is going to set you back in the region of 450 dollars. Once again the golden rule comes into play. If it’s for an evening of family fun them by all means go for the top that’s at the lower end of the cost spectrum. There are several house brands sold by supermarket chains like Walmart which are perfectly suited for casual use, but if you’re looking for a table tennis conversion top that conforms to international competition standards you’re going to be spending a whole lot more.
