Stiga Expert table for sale – needs work
I’m help a friend sell this table. It is an older indoor table, probably from 1990s (maybe older). Two pieces with folding legs. Indoor table. Table has noticeable damage: bubbles on top which will require sanding and touch-up paint, as wells as some damage to edges in a couple spots which would require wood fill/putty and paint touch-up. Comes with net mount (not shown in pics). It is a super solid table but definitely shows some age. Made in Germany. He’s looking for $100 or best offer. If interested, contact me through this site or at the club.

Chinese video about Xu Xin and table tennis spin
Though the video is clearly partly an ad for a mobile phone, it is fun to see high-speed cameras used to measure spin and speed. For non-Chinese speakers, turn on the subtitles, then change the settings to Auto-Translate to English.
