New Table Tennis Paddle Options to up Your Game

No matter if you call it table tennis or ping pong, it is an Olympic sport that requires many skills including stamina, fast reflexes, outstanding hand eye coordination just to name a few. As you learn to play table tennis, you will benefit from owning a quality ping pong paddle and will eventually want to select a blade with your choice of custom rubbers. But before you get to that point, a well-made table tennis paddle or ping pong paddle will serve you well.

 A basic box store ping pong paddle is made from basic plywood with a rubber face and is enough to get you started with hitting a ping pong ball back and forth across the net. Once you get the hang of it, you will like the feel and play characteristics of a ping pong paddle made from premium wood with quality rubbers over a layer of sponge. The added control, power and spin will help you gain more points and win or lose, your matches will increase in intensity and become more enjoyable.

Li-Ning makes four distinct ping pong paddles that have slight differences in play characteristics to meet the needs of a variety of play styles and preferences.

A 1.7 mm sponge with translucent rubbers finish off the Boost ping pong paddle for a well-rounded balanced feel. Our Drive ping pong paddle is made from 7 layers of plywood that measure 7 mm thick. A slightly thicker 1.8 mm sponge with translucent rubbers give the ping pong paddle a stiff and firm feel.

Aggressive players that like to attack will enjoy our Combat ping pong paddles which boast a 6.8 mm plywood core with a 2 mm sponge and translucent rubbers. The traditional shake hand grip is easy to hold and switch back and forth between offence and defense.

Li-Ning Launches First Retail Showrooms in Canada

Li-Ning, China’s premier sports brand, today announced that for the first time ever in Canada its extensive collection of racket sport equipment, shoes and apparel is available in standalone retail showrooms. Specialty sports enthusiasts interested in an expansive collection of Badminton, Pickleball, Table Tennis and other specialty sporting goods products can find Li-Ning items in Canada’s capital city of Ottawa as well as in the Greater Toronto Area.

Prior to this retail showroom expansion, Li-Ning products were available online and through a carefully selected network of specialty dealers throughout Canada via a distribution and licensing agreement with official partner and distributor, LN Distribution Inc. Now, athletes, clubs and tournament organizers can visit Li-Ning showrooms in Burlington, Ontario near Toronto and inside Ottawa’s RA Centre, a not-for-profit organization that has been serving the nation’s capital for more than 75 years.

“We’ve been working with the Li-Ning headquarters in Beijing, China for about eight years and it has been an extremely positive experience,” said Len Carter, president of LN Distribution Inc. “Li-Ning is a leader as a company and brand because the people are progressive and easy to work with and in the wake of global political divergences, we are merging cultures and countries through the cooperation of sport.”

According to the Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada, approximately 50 percent of Canada’s world immigration has come from Asia since the turn of the millennium - with the majority coming from China, where Li-Ning is the official brand of many Olympic teams and athletes making the Li-Ning brand a household name for many new Canadians.

Li-Ning likes to say that “Anything is Possible” and this announcement is a perfect example because it shows that sport can help transcend language barriers, politics and different cultures to forge common ground that benefits everybody. The opening of the first Li-Ning showrooms in Ottawa & Toronto also makes sense because that’s where about 30 percent of the current Canadian Li-Ning business can be found.

Li-Ning is the only sporting good company in this specialty category that has assembled very unique tournament, club and athlete sponsorship programs to help promote and grow these sports in Canada. If you play these sports, run clubs or organize tournaments, Li-Ning can help your cause and help you organize and enjoy your favorite sport more. Li-Ning is the official badminton equipment sponsor of the Canadian College Athletics Association (CCAA) as well as other provincial and college associations and is always looking to help promote top players, clubs and tournaments.

Carter also said that he expects every major city in Canada to soon have Li-Ning showrooms. A national corporate store and franchise offering is in the works now. Visit li-ning-sports.com for more information.

Guide to Buying an LNX Ping Pong Table

Are you interested in buying a ping pong table? Purchasing a ping pong table is not an easy decision. This is because there are a lot of choices to choose from. There exist different brands which have different qualities and different prices. You need to differentiate between a good table from a bad table. You also need to decide if you are interested in purchasing a cheap table or an expensive table. An expensive table has good quality and can last for a very long time, unlike a table which is cheap. Hopefully, this blog post will help you if you have a hard time choosing the right LNX ping pong table.

How to spot a good ping pong table
One of the best ways of identifying whether a ping pong table is of good quality is by the thickness of the table tennis top. Get to know this; the thicker the table, the better the quality, the thinner it gets, the worse the quality.  The thickness of the table ranges from 12mm to around 25mm.
The next time you are purchasing these tables, remember to avoid the thin tabletops. (eg.12 mm). It is easy for the ball to damage the table. You will also find it difficult for the ball to bounce on such a table.
Medium thickness tables are okay. Such tables have a thickness of between 16mm to 19mm. A 19mm thickness table will give you a consistent bounce, unlike a 12mm thickness table. If you look after the medium-sized ping pong table, it can last for many years.
Good ping pong tables are tables that have a thickness of around 22 mm to 25 mm. You need to know that these are the most expensive tables. The thicker, the table the more expensive it becomes. If you are a beginner at table tennis, it can be quite hard for you to notice the difference between a 22mm thickness table and a 25mm thickness table. The quality of a 22 mm table is good, but the ping pong table's best quality is the 25mm thickness table.

Ping pong tables for home purposes
There are two reasons why people purchase a ping pong tables for their home these are:
 - For family fun
 - For serious practice

Family Fun
If your main reason for purchasing a ping pong table is for family fun, you need not purchase an expensive table. If you are just playing for fun, it will be hard for you to tell the difference between a 16mm thickness table from a 25mm thickness tale. If you are on a budget, then make sure you go for the cheaper option. Note this, “Cheaper,” not “cheapest.” Remember to avoid cheap tables which have a thickness of around 12mm. It is better to purchase a 16mm or 19mm table because such tables are more durable and better to play on, unlike the 12mm thin tables, which are flimsy. One of the problems with a thin table is that the ball does not bounce very well.

Serious Practice
If you want a table for serious practice at home, make sure you purchase a good-quality table. Make sure you have put your budget into consideration. Purchase the best quality table you can afford. The table you need to purchase for serious practice needs to have a thickness of 19
