i had written....

   i am planning to get a new racquet, and i was wondering if anyone could
   point me to table tennis proshops. i would not mind the addresses of 
   actual makers (stiga, butterfly etc) either. 

here is the stuff i have collected....

I bought a Butterfly C-L blade and a Sriver rubber a few days
ago - and I got it from "Athletics International" - See whether
there is a branch in Ohio, if not I can send their 1-800 number,
which is not coming to my mind at this moment.
(do not have a 800 listing...krishna)

I get my stuff from a place called Paddle Palace, a mail order company. They
have a very large selection of everything you would want, and at good prices
too. They give discounts for orders over $40 so a group order might be worth
while (just a thought) thier number is 1-800-547-5891
(located at portland, or. prices for pre-assembled paddles (butterfly yuki, 
 atlanta-900) are more expensive than local sports store!....krishna)

T.G. Enterprises, which is the U.S. Donic distributer (Tho they carry lots
of other brands too) is where I buy most of my TT equiptment.  Their
phone number is: 1-800-825-PONG.
(located in southfield, mi....krishna)

From: dht@controls.ccd.harris.com (Danh Tran)

A better place (than Paddle Palace, krishna) to shop for blades and rubber 
sheets is Table Tennis America (1-800-25USATT).  The price is
at least $5 less than at the Paddle Palace.
(talked to donald jacobs. nice guy, very helpful, knowledgable....krishna)

Try Robbins Sport for TSP products: 1-800-892-6758
(closed weekends....krishna)

From: cmarble@hmcvax.claremont.edu (Chris Marble)

I'll recommend Harold Kopper's Table Tennis Supplies,
714-351-9316 days, 714-682-0085 evenings.  He does mail order and
has always beat Paddle Palace's prices for me.
Address: 2051 Linden #s, Riverside, CA 92507
