The revolutionary weatherproof table tennis tables from Kettler are technologically way ahead of the competition - weatherproof tables offer versatility as they can be used both indoors and out all year round. Developed and manufactured entirely in Germany to the highest standards they are built based on years of innovation and expertise. The playing surface is made from an aluminium compound, "ALU-TEC", synonymous with toughness and endurance with its maintenance free and corrosion resistant properties. Its special coating is both anti-dazzle and ultra-violet resistant for long-life and excellent ball control for this increasingly popular game.

With the combination of the Butterfly and Schildkrot distributorships, Ransome Sporting Goods are able to provide the widest and most comprehensive range of table tennis equipment available in the United Kingdom. One of the latest products to be added to the Butterfly selection is a range of concrete tables (see opposite) designed for use in parks, schools and seaside resorts. Manufactured from a mix of concrete and polymer, which means that the playability of the table will not deteriorate from exposure to weather, the range includes tables with concrete bases, steel bases and special fun models with a round and figure-of-eight shape.

Cornilleau pride themselves on being the most innovative company and have won design awards for table tennis tables and the Tacteo range of bats. Whilst its range of competition tables is long-established the company has now moved into the competition market in earnest and with the expertise of former World Champion Jean-Philippe Gatien this new range is sure to be a success.
