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.

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.
