This section contains interviews with table tennis manufacturers, to learn more about their products and facilities, and also what makes them special and stand out over other manufacturers.
In my dealings with the OOAK table tennis shop, I have a unique relationship with many of the table tennis manufacturers as both a dealer and a player, often granting me an interview. I hope to expand this section to include interviews with all the major manufacturers.
My thanks goes to the two major table tennis forums that I’m involved with, ooak table tennis forum and Mytt forum, who have always been instrumental in coming up with appropriate questions, that are of most interest to players.
I hope you enjoy these interviews. If there are others you’re keen to hear from, please let me know, and I’ll try my best to make it happen.
