Butterfly Aspire 16 Ping Pong Table - TAS16BL

The Butterfly Aspire 16 table tennis table is a great choice for those looking for a home table at an affordable price. The 16mm top will deliver a quality bounce for consistent play and it is reinforced by a steel rail that will ensure a consistent bounce across the entire playing surface.

The sturdy legs will provide a solid base for excellent support of the top for the life of the table. The lateral stability of the table is reinforced by a dual, metal crossing brace placed between the end legs and welded to the frame. At the base of the legs is a foot-screw which allows you to adjust each leg independently to ensure a completely level playing surface. The wheels can be locked in place to help prevent the table from rolling during play.

The Aspire 16 comes with a regulation 6"" net and bracket set that has padded clamps to protect the table surface. Quicken your reflexes by folding-up one side of the table and use the other half as a backboard. When you are ready to stow, the table will easily fold & roll to storage aided by its rubber wheels. The two-piece design allows multiple tables to be nested together which is ideal for clubs that have limited space.

The table is approved by USA Table Tennis for sanctioned tournament play.

• Lock wheels during use: Engage wheel locks to prevent movement and protect the frame during intense play.
• Fold carefully for storage: Use the dual-fold system properly and avoid slamming to protect hinges and steel braces.
• Inspect frame & joints: Periodically tighten bolts and check the steel cross-bracing for long-term stability.
• Cover when not in use: A table cover helps prevent dust, scratches, and surface wear.
