Table Tennis For People Who Already Own Pool Tables

Consider yourself fortunate if you already own a pool table.  They are typically expensive and take up lots of room, but it's of course rewarding to be able to play a fun game of pool anytime you want at home.  One problem that many of us have encountered is that it's not too difficult to get bored of pool after a while.  There are of course different games that can be played on your table but, at the end of the day, they all involve sinking balls into pockets with your cue! 

One option you have since you already own a table is to get into pingpong.  You can buy a kit which temporarily adds a ping pong table on top of your pool table.  Pingpong is an incredibly fun game to play, and you'll really appreciate being able to reuse your pool table in order to learn it!  It shouldn't take you very long to convert back and forth between your pool table and the pingpong table.

You should remember that playing ping pong on a table meant for pool isn't the same thing as owning a dedicated ping pong table.  It's almost certainly not going to be the same regulation height as a pingpong table and, depending on which kit you buy, it may not even be the same size as a standard regulation pingpong table.  However, these are typically weaknesses that you can afford to live with since very few people have room for both a real pool table and a real pingpong table.
