In order for your table to allow you to perform at your best, keeping it clean and protected from the elements is crucial. A dirty ping pong table can become sticky, which impacts the ball’s ability to spin and bounce properly. If you don’t play table tennis daily, storing it when not in use will keep it in top shape. Find a place in your home that has no direct sun, is well ventilated, and does not have temperature swings. A finished basement, insulated sheds, and garages in moderate climates are great options.
