Questions parents ask
what is the difference between this and a normal ping pong set
This one recreates the exact 1901 Jaques bats, with steam bent wooden frames covered in hand stitched vellum, not rubber coated blades. It clamps onto any dining table instead of needing a dedicated table tennis table.
does this table tennis set work on a normal dining table
Yes, it is designed for it. The solid brass clamps screw onto the table edge and each one is cushioned with a foam pad so the surface is not marked.
what are the ping pong bats made of
The bats have a solid wooden frame and handle, steam bent, then covered with vellum that is glued and hand stitched into place. This is the same construction Jaques used on the original 1901 bats.
will the table tennis net damage my table
No. The clamps are solid brass but every metal part that touches the table has a soft foam pad, so dining tables are not damaged when you screw them into place.
what balls come with this ping pong set
It comes with 3 celluloid balls, matching what was included in the very first Jaques ping pong set.
how do you set up the net on a table tennis table
Attach the net to the two posts, screw the brass clamps onto the table edge, then wrap the net around the posts. It adjusts to fit any table size this way.
what age is a ping pong set suitable for
It suits children from around 6 to 7 years and up, making it a game the whole family can play together.
is this a good after dinner party game
Yes, that is its intended use. Once the table is cleared, the net clamps straight onto the dining table, so a full game is ready within minutes of finishing supper.
