Table Tennis Accessories

Table Tennis or Ping-Pong anyone? It doesn’t matter what you call it. It’s fun. I’ve rediscovered a great way of feeling better and getting some excellent exercise, Table Tennis Training. We all know that exercise makes you feel better. How often do we say, “ I just don’t have time today to fool with that? It’s too cold outside, or it’s raining.” I rediscovered a great exercise routine that is fun and keeps me coming back. I can play it by myself and as long as I like. It gets me up and off the chair and away from the TV and my computer. I play table tennis against a Robot. The Newgy Robo-Pong.

Newgy, located near Old Hickory Lake in middle Tennessee, makes some of the best table tennis accessories I found. There are 3 models of their world famous Robo-Pong (Robo-Pong 2040, Robo-Pong 1040 and Robo-Pong 540)and also many different accessories. Follow the link to Play Robo-Pong to check out the complete list. My favorite is the Pong-Master, an interactive electronic game for all ages. Plug Pong-Master in, and your robot becomes a Nintendo® style entertainment machine. It’s tough. Change the settings from beginner to world class to test your skill and accuracy. Test your consistency and your ability to relax under pressure. Play it with the supplied targets for a fun, entertaining game or without the targets as a workout.

Another one of my favorite table tennis accessories is the Pong-Pal the quicker ball picker upper. Pong-Pal makes it much easier and faster to pick up table tennis or ping-pong balls. With its special angled end, you can retrieve balls that are under the table or other hard to reach places. Its unique two-piece design permits you to take it apart and carry it in your sport bag or Robo-Tote. It works with either 40mm or 38mm balls. This product is ideal for wheelchair players who can just use the lower half and then place it on their seat or armrest to keep it handy.
