Question: Where Can I Find Information & Photographs of Old & Classic Table Tennis Blades?

Hi,
My name is Andy. I love to play table tennis. I played a lot when I was younger, didn't for a while, and now am getting back into it. I am really interested in specific details and dimensions on Stiga racquets. Different makes and models and the history behind it, how the racquets have evolved over the years. Can you send me any material/pictures on this matter?

Looking forward to hearing from you,
Andy

Answer: Hi Andy,

Although I've been playing seriously since the mid-1980's, I actually don't have any information myself on table tennis bats through the decades. I wish I had thought to pay more attention when I started!

You might want to visit oldStiga.hu, which is a website devoted to vintage and classic table tennis blades - don't worry, it's in English as well as Hungarian!. With the history and pictures for many old blades (not just Stiga ones) - they might have just what you are looking for. And even if they don't, it's a fun stroll down memory lane anyway!

Regards,
Greg Letts
