Table Tennis Forums - A Wealth of Untapped Information

By Greg Letts, About.com

Checking the Signal to Noise Ratio...

About.com

The table tennis forum here is a sub-section of the huge About.com website. The table tennis forum is run by Greg Letts, a well respected and high level Australian player and coach. This too is a quite a big forum, although the actual number of members is unknown. Although it has some very knowledgeable people there who are very helpful, the layout of the site and some the adds and pop-up windows does not make it a little harder to navigate. Still it's well worth visiting and has some great threads and information. Greg also runs his own forum here: Greg's Table Tennis Forum, but this is not that active any more especially since Greg now focuses on the About.com forum.

One of a Kind Forums

This forum was initially created as a support forum for the One of a kind Trading online shop, but over time it has developed into a specialist pimple rubber forum. It is run by the author of this article and a group of very knowledgeable friends. Although it covers all types of topics, if you need information on long pimple rubbers or other pimple rubbers, this is the place to be.

Tennis de table.com

A large and popular forum from France. This appears to be another active forum with quite a large membership base, but you'll need to be able to read French to participate.

Noppen-test.de Forum

A German forum specialising in pimples rubbers. You need to be able to understand German to participate.

Tennis-Tavole.com

An Italian forum for table tennis. This appears to be another active forum with quite a large membership base, but you'll need to be able to read Italian to participate.

There are no doubt some other forums out there that have not been covered here, particularly non-English speaking ones. New forums come and go all the time, but the main ones are covered here. Many online shops also run their own forums, but these are often mainly intended to support the shops only, and references to other shops may not be appropriate. Nevertheless these can be very useful to find further information on goods that the shop sells.

Conclusion

In conclusion, forums are a great source of information, and freely available to anyone. If you need information on equipment or strategies to improve your game, they are well worth checking out. Check out a few of the forums mentioned above, join in as a member if you enjoy them or wish to post. No need to be shy, it's anonymous, so no-one knows who you are!
