JOOLA Inside 25 Review — Best Table Under $650

Last Updated on April 24, 2024 by Alex Horscroft

As the best-selling table tennis table on Amazon, it should come as no surprise that the JOOLA Inside 25 is pretty incredible.

It has all the features you need for a high-level table, and at an unbeatable price . In this JOOLA Inside 25 review, I’ll take a deep dive into what separates this model from the rest of the competition.

JOOLA Inside 25 Specifications

Dimensions : Full-size Table top : 25mm Indoor/outdoor : Indoor Type : Two-piece Leg levelers : Yes Weight : 239lbs Warranty : 1-year

Super 25mm Thick Playing Surface

Without a doubt, one of the strongest qualities going for the JOOLA Inside 25 is its 25mm thick playing surface . To put it into perspective, this is the same thickness as professionals use for their tables, so it’s really top-of-the-line!

There are only a select few tables around that are thicker at 30mm, but you likely won’t notice much of a difference between the two. On the other hand, 25mm thick tables are noticeably superior to the other common table thicknesses of 18mm and 15mm.

Put it this way, whenever I play at my local club, we are all fighting to use the 25mm thick tables. They are just so much more enjoyable to play on when you become skilled at the game.

JOOLA Inside 25

Robust Frame

Given this JOOLA indoor ping pong table has a thick 25mm surface, the frame has to be thick enough to provide adequate support, which it is. Unfortunately, though, there does seem to be some conflicting information relating to certain aspects of the table.

To begin with, the apron size differs depending on where you look. On Amazon, it is clearly listed as 2”. However, on JOOLA’s official USA website it’s instead cited as 1.5” . While this is not a massive difference, it’s just a bit of a sloppy error.

It’s a similar story with the legs. Amazon states they are 2” whereas JOOLA’s website once again says they are 1.5”.

I also noticed the weight differs a bit as well. Amazon cites the Inside 25 as weighing 239lbs. However, JOOLA’s website instead claims 284lbs. That’s a pretty big difference for an already very heavy table.

My guess is that the heavier and thinner specs referenced by JOOLA’s website are for an older version of the table. However, I have no way of confirming this — it’s just a hunch. Fortunately, these discrepancies are not too big of an issue as even with a 1.5” apron and 1.5” legs the frame is plenty strong.

JOOLA Inside 25

Compact Design With 4” Wheels

As a 2-piece model, the JOOLA Inside ping pong table is highly compact and straightforward to maneuver with its 4” wheels . You have two options when wheeling the table around. You can either separate the two table halves and wheel them around independently. This method gives you a lighter load.

Or my preferred option is to erect both halves of the table and slot them into one another. They nest together very compactly, and this means you can easily move both at the same time which means the table is quicker to put away.

Thanks to the nested design, the JOOLA Inside 25 measures just 62” x 22” x 67” when stored . Very few other tables will be able to beat this. You’ll likely have to go for an ultra-compact model like the Butterfly Compact 19 if you want something more condensed.

Another benefit of the design of the JOOLA Inside is the solo playback mode . This allows you to open up just one side of the table while leaving the other half locked upright. By placing the upright half next to the opposing side which is open, you can play by yourself when you don’t have anyone to practice with.

This is a neat little feature that is great for beginners. However, I should note that if you’re half decent you probably won’t use this feature at all as it doesn’t help you to improve all that much. You’re better off getting a table tennis robot if you find yourself often lacking a training buddy.

JOOLA Inside 25

Quick Assembly

Like many home table tennis tables, the JOOLA Inside has a very short setup time. We are talking around 10-20 minutes . As such, you don’t have to faff around with building the table for hours like you would have to for some of the premium options.

The only step to building the table once it arrives is attaching the legs and you’re good to go. In total, you’ve got 8 bolts to attach — I’m sure you can handle that. Here’s the manual if you’re curious.

Once the table is all built it’s simply a matter of attaching the included net. Before I forget, that’s another quality of this table that’s great. The net isn’t some crappy model that they’ve included to increase profit margins. It’s a JOOLA-made net with height and tension adjustment — the kind used for competitive play.

JOOLA Inside 25

Opening and closing the table is safe as the Inside 25mm uses JOOLA’s dual-lock system . Previously, I believe the Inside 25 used a single lock as the other Inside models do.

Both of these locks are located on the underside of the middle sections of the table. I would have preferred that JOOLA use one lock and one lever like many other tables provide (this allows you to tilt the table open slightly after opening the first lock to prevent the lock from closing again). However, it is not much of an issue.

You might just find it a little awkward to open both locks while holding the top of the table to prevent it from falling. You kind of need three arms to simultaneously open both locks while holding the top of the table. It is for this reason, I’d recommend getting your training partner to help with opening the table.

JOOLA Inside 25

Unbeatable Price Tag

Finally, we come to price, and that’s where the JOOLA Inside 25 simply won’t be beaten. It’s a value monster.

The Inside 25 doesn’t have any extra gimmicks like fancy bat and ball holders or sophisticated one-handed opening technology. Rather, it focuses on the essentials and gets them right, allowing the table to be sold at a very low price.

As it stands, the JOOLA Inside 25 is the reliably cheapest 25mm table on the market .

The only other table that comes close, funnily enough, is another table by JOOLA — the Rally TL 700. In fact, as it stands, the Rally TL 700 is a little cheaper. However, this is only down to a temporary sale.

The prices of these two tables tend to fluctuate quite a bit, the Rally TL 700 especially. But looking at the average price, the Inside 25mm is usually around $80 cheaper. But by all means, if you’re ready to buy, I recommend checking. Both tables are near-identical so I would purchase whichever is cheapest and pocket the difference.

About JOOLA

JOOLA is a giant of the table tennis world, and not just when it comes to table tennis tables. They also produce exceptional rubbers, blades, and other equipment.

Having produced their first table tennis table way back in 1952 they have mountains of experience and have sponsored numerous Olympics events. Not too long ago in 2020, they redesigned their logo to represent their core values. These are the three i’s: inclusion, innovation, and inspiration.

  • Most popular table on Amazon
  • Cheapest 25mm table available
  • Tournament-grade play surface
  • Sturdy frame
  • Solo playback mode
  • Compact storage
  • High-quality net included
  • Leg levelers
  • Quick assembly
  • Only available in blue

A Look at the Other JOOLA Inside Tables

If you’ve done any research for the JOOLA Inside you likely already know that it comes in several different versions: you can pick it up with either a 13mm, 15mm, 18mm, or 25mm surface. The important thing to note is that the design of the table is the same for all versions, it’s just each successive model has upgrades such as a thicker play surface and undercarriage.

The question is… which is the right one for you?

Here is how I would answer that question.

If you’re a pauper and dying to play table tennis, go for the JOOLA Inside 13 .

If you’re a very casual player with little skill or buying for your family, the JOOLA Inside 15 is a good choice.

If you’re a fairly keen player looking for the minimum recommended table the JOOLA Inside 18 is the one you want.

If you have a larger budget and want the best table tennis experience, the JOOLA Inside 25 is the table you should purchase.

For clarity’s sake, I’ve produced a table below highlighting some of the main differences between the JOOLA Inside range. Hopefully, it helps you out.

Closing Thoughts

The JOOLA Inside 25 is an incredible table at an incredible price . While it’s always nice to play on higher-end models with more physical appeal, I for one, just can’t get past how damn expensive they are, and I’m sure you can’t too, hence how you ended up here.

Whether you’re an advanced player looking for a quality table, or even someone who is just getting started on their journey and want’s a future-proof model, the JOOLA Inside 25mm is a table that will not disappoint .

Similarly, if you’re really tight on funds, the likes of the JOOLA Inside 15mm table tennis table is a good choice. And if you’re an advanced player who wants the cheapest model possible, the JOOLA Inside 18 is a solid option.

Joola Tour 2500 Review: Tournament-grade Ping Pong Table

July 1, 2023

If you are looking for a high quality tournament-grade indoor ping pong table, on a budget, then we have the right one for you. JOOLA Tour 2500 combines the best of both worlds; it is USATT approved table and can be used for light training by aspiring professionals or for recreational purposes.

The table tennis table is one of the most high-performance indoor tables and promises quick assembly. It has also been a favorite among novice players and professionals alike. It comes with an adjustable net and post set that is also approved by USATT.

Let’s see the specifications to assess if it is worth the attention.

Table of Contents

Joola Tour 2500 Product Specifications

Price: $$$ Rating: 4.9/5.0 Type: Indoors Color: Dark Blue Weight: 250 lbs /70 kgs (approximately) Dimensions (after setup): 108 x 60 x 30 inches (length x width x height) Surface Thickness: 25mm Top Material: MDF Base Material: Metal Accessories: Net and Post Set, Nuts and Bolts Assembly Time: 10 to 15 minutes

What to Expect?

JOOLA is one of the most well-known table tennis equipment brands and you have likely seen their ping pong paddles or tables around a lot. They are the official sponsor the US Open and US National and are a household name.

JOOLA Tour 2500 is also one of their most famous products and has garnered fanatics ratings. As it is popular among  professional players  and amateurs alike, we expect quality, durability, and great playability.

Construction

The Joola Tour 2500 ping pong tables are built to last and that is apparent from their heavyweight. At 250 lbs, the table has a 1-inch thick playing surface, supported by a 2×2-inches steel frame and an undercarriage which is also 2×2-inches.

The thickness of the frame keeps the steady so that it won’t budge even during an offensive game. The heavy weight helps protect the table from damage and increases its lifespan.

The 1-inch MDF ( medium-density fiberboard ) top is premium quality table thickness and promises excellent performance. It has multiple coats of polyurethane paint which makes the playing surface resistant to damage and warping–and increases playability. It produces a consistent ball bounce and responds well to spin.

One of the most appealing features of this regulation size table tennis table is the foldability and how it has been made as two separate halves–which are put together to make a full table.

Each of the two halves has a dual under carriage system which, along with 4-inch lockable caster wheels, eases transportation and can be stored without any hassle. Moreover, this regulation size table comes with optimal storage dimensions of 62in x 22in x 67in that fit perfectly in standard-size rooms.

It is a perfect table for honing your skills and making your weekend thrilling and fun.

Convenient Storage

Although the tables are heavy, some features make folding and unfolding them quite easy. Each standalone half has a built in trundle system that makes compact storage and transport convenient. With the help of this undercarriage and wheels, each side of the table rolls smoothly and is stored separately.

Another great thing is the auto-folding legs. To fold this ping pong table, just disengage the safety locks on each side and push the top up. The table legs will automatically set into position.

Great Value for Money

JOOLA Tour 2500 retails at $1000 currently. This is the maximum price and with a discount or sales, you might get it for $900 or less. It has great quality, excellent playability, premium table top and benefits that are worth the price. Many retailers offer the latest table revision with improved features such as black wheels and a new Joola logo at a bit extra price. So, if you can afford it, you always have this golden chance of customizing your table.

Although it’s not marketed as a professional table tennis table, it offers similar features on a budget. At this rate, it is almost impossible to find an indoor table like this.

Playback Mode

Since this regulation size ping pong table comes into two separate stand alone halves, it supports playback mode. Simply fold up one table half and  play against it to practice . The wheels and auto-folding table legs with double anti tilting device for added safety and make the process of switching into playback mode (and back to normal) very convenient. Even if it is one half only, the surface provides consistent bounce and quality gameplay.

Preassembled

JOOLA Tour 2500 is very heavy and the process of assembly can be difficult. JOOLA surely made things easy by making this table 95% preassembled.

Just attach the legs to the frame by sliding them in and tightening some bolts and you are ready to play. The whole process takes less than fifteen minutes and you don’t require any special tools or professionals’ help.

Additional Features

Various other features make this table worth the money and hype. The legs have adjustable height levelers due to which the height of the table can be accommodated for extra stability.

Joola Tour 2500 table tennis table also comes with a USATT approved clamp-on competition net set which is adjustable on the table top in terms of height and tension. Caster wheels can lock the table into both playing and storage positions to help avoid accidents and increase playability.

Heavy Weight

The biggest, and maybe the only, downfall of JOOLA Tour 2500 is its weight. It doesn’t just cause problems with assembly, movement, and storage, but also with shipping. With that being said, paying extra for assembly service is not recommended.

Although it comes 95% preassembled, it is very difficult to put the two separate table halves together due to the weight, and you will need two adults’ help.

As it is a very heavy table tennis table and can get scratches or breakage during shipping. No matter how properly package dimensions of the table are taken care of, if it is thrown around carelessly it can get serious damage. JOOLA offers excellent customer care service so this can be fixed.

Low Portability

The weight causes another problem: low portability. Although each half can be maneuvered alone, it is still very difficult to assemble, disassemble, and move.

JOOLA has made dual safety locking devices to hold all parts in place when you move the table, but you still need at least 2 people to move each half.

Our Rating: 4.9/5

It will not wrong to call JOOLA Tour 2500 a latest table version as it is a marvel of great engineering and the latest technology. The table has an excellent quality, superb playability, optimal table top and a very durable frame–and that too on a budget, makes it a great choice.

Although it does not match high-grade official ping pong tables, it does share similarities with them as the table surface is 1-inch thick and USATT approved. The dual undercarriage system makes the table super easy to maneuver across most surfaces.

If you are looking for a ping pong table that provides an authentic professional feel without poking a hole in your pocket, then this one is the  best table tennis table  for you.

In case you are looking for a  recreational table tennis table  that is heavy-duty, we would recommend this table tennis table.

JOOLA Tour 2500 is an excellent option  for mid-level players looking forward to practicing on a well-priced table that offers quality and playability. It would be difficult to find a better indoor table with similar features at this affordable price.

Although this ping pong table is heavy and difficult to maneuver, its price-performance ratio and sturdiness make it unmatched.

Joola 2500 Features

25mm (1 inch) tabletop thickness of 25mm (1 inch)..

Table tennis tables typically have a tabletop thickness ranging from 1/2” at the lower end, all up to an inch thick, which is required to play an official event. The more thick tabletop, the higher bounce the ball can have and, consequently, better play.

The JOOLA Tour 2500 table is constructed from 1 one-inch (25mm) dense medium density fiberboard (MDF). It is highly durable (although not designed to be used outdoors) and is coated with blue paint by multiple layers to ensure it even bounces across the table. It also helps protect chips and warping, allowing the table to last longer and give you more value for your money.

50mm steel frame, sturdy, folding undercarriage

The strong frame is 50mm (almost 2-inches) powder coated frame gives excellent support that keeps the table strong from constant knocks, bases, and dents it is likely to encounter. The corners are protected with a protective layer to keep them from getting hit and chipping.

The undercarriage is constructed with 50mm thick stainless steel coated with black, providing the table with a sturdy feeling. It’s possible to fold down the table’s two halves effortlessly, and the legs will automatically fold to make it easier. After it’s folded, it is locked in place by its double anti-tilting device to provide additional security.

Since you can fold the table in half and it splits into two halves, you can place the table in the playback position so that you can practice with one of your own.

4″‘ caster wheels and height adjusters

Each side of the table comes with four caster wheels currently at 4 inches (JOOLA upgraded the size from 3 inches in the first quarter of the year). The bigger wheels allow you to move tables around, and once you’re satisfied with its location, they will lock in the position to provide extra security and stability. The table’s legs are equipped with rubber height adjusters to ensure the table is perfectly flat.

High-Quality Posts and nets

It is equipped with easy-to-use nets and a set that is fixed to the table using clamps. You can alter the height and tension as you’d like, and it’s USATT certified for tournaments. For tables equipped with nets, we’d suggest buying a new one, but for most players that have this option, it’s more than adequate.

15 Minute Fast Assembly

Many other 1 thick tables require a longer time to put together. Some tables we’ve used took longer than three hours, which is disappointing sometimes. But the Tour 2500 is effortless to put together because it is almost entirely preassembled. The only thing required is the legs for the caster “T” bracketed legs which need a couple of bolts to attach. It will not take more than 15 minutes; however, we recommend having two persons assist with the installation as Tabletops are a bit heavy. We would not recommend you spend more on assembly.

Transportable

As you know, we can fold or unfold the table quickly and then move the table to any location you like. The table comes with a lock on the caster that locks it into place.

After playing, you can fold the table in half, unlock the caster, and move it to store easily. One person can handle each of these tasks.

About Brand: JOOLA

JOOLA has become one of the most renowned brands in the world of table tennis. This company is also the main sponsor for the US Open and US Nationals table tennis tournaments. They have been producing high-quality ping-pong-related products for more than 60 years.

To observe this JOOLA Tour 2500 in action, watch this video of it appearing during The Ellen Show.

Other models

This table comes with two other models in the JOOLA Tour series. In addition to 2500, there are two different tables: Tour 1500 and Tour 1800. The primary difference between the two tables is the size of the tabletop, which is:

  • Tour 2500 is 25mm
  • Tour 1800 is 18mm
  • Tour 1500 is 15mm

First, you can choose the JOOLA Tour 1500 that has 15mm thick surfaces. This means it isn’t offered as a great bounce as this 25mm thick table, but it’s also a bit less expensive and, therefore, should be a good option if you’re in the middle of a budget. It’s worth looking into.

The next step is the JOOLA Tour 1800, which has an 18mm thicker surface and is slightly better than 1500, but not as great as the Tour 2500.

The JOOLA Tour series features in our article discussing the most affordable tables for ping pong for those who want to look at other tables we love.

If it’s not in stock, a couple of very similar alternatives to the JOOLA Tour 2500 (which usually happens since it’s a trendy table) include the JOOLA Inside 2500, and the JOOLA Motion 25. They’re almost identical tables, but they’re in different colors so they could be great alternatives.

  • Surface thickness for regulation 1.25” thick, rule accepted surface to be used for tournaments
  • Frame that is strong and durable and undercarriage 50mm thick frame and a 50mm x 50mm undercarriage, for added stability and security
  • Legs that fold The legs automatically fold up for convenience, and they secure themselves when they are stored
  • It is 95% preassembled . It takes only between 10 and fifteen minutes for putting it together
  • Position of playback – Fold up one side of the table and practice at your own pace
  • 4″ locking wheels casters as of the year 2019. JOOLA has upgraded the wheels to be 4″‘ (rather than 3”) to make them more durable and durable.
  • Affordable Tables that have 1” of thickness surface are typically a bit higher priced than the JOOLA Tour 2500
  • Heavy at 250lbs, a hefty table makes it more challenging to move around.

Overall, the joola ping pong table 25mm results from top engineering and premium materials. It is a fantastic table for an intermediate player who wants to enhance their game or an experienced player looking for an affordable table tennis table to practice on and for consistency reasons. With JOOLA providing players of the US National team with table tennis tables, it’ll be hard to find a better table tennis table with the exact specifications.

Overview of the JOOLA Tour 2500

25mm (1″) Thick Table Top

Table tennis tables tend to have a surface thickness that ranges from 1/2″ on the lower end, all the way up to 1″ thick which is the thickness required for official tournaments. The thicker the tabletop, the better the ball will bounce, thus more exciting gameplay.

The JOOLA Tour 2500 ping pong table is made out of a 1″ (25mm) thick medium density fiberboard (MDF). It’s durable (although not for outside use), and is finished with blue paint using multi-layers to ensure that you get a consistent bounce over the entire table. It also prevents chipping and warping, helping the table to last longer, which means you get more value out of it.

Strong Foldable Undercarriage

The robust 50mm (almost 2″) powder-coated frame provides great support to keep the table sturdy from the inevitable knocks that it will get. The corners also have protectors to prevent chipping and minimize injury should you bump into them.

To support the playing surface, JOOLA installed 2″ steel tube aprons. This provides a lot of protection and ensures that the table top will not warp over time. You can fold up each half of the table very easily, and the legs automatically deploy for added convenience. Then when it’s folded up, it locks into place with its double anti-tilting device for extra safety.

As this model allows for the independent folding of each table half, you can fold up just one side into the playback position. This means that you can practice on your own.

joola tour 2500

4″ Caster Wheels and Height Adjusters

Each half of the table has four caster wheels that are now 4″ (JOOLA upgraded them from 3″ at the beginning of 2019). These larger wheels make it more convenient to move the table around, and when you’re happy with its position, they lock into place for extra stability and safety. The ends of the table legs have rubber height adjusters to ensure that the surface is completely level.

joola tour 2500

Competition-Grade Net and Posts Included

The JOOLA Tour 2500 table tennis table comes with a simple and easy-to-use net and post set that attaches to the table by a clamp. You can adjust the tension and height as needed, and it’s USATT approved for tournaments. While many tables often come with a net, we frequently recommend getting a better net as the quality is often lacking. However, this net is very high quality so there is no need.

joola tour 2500

A lot of 1″ thick tables take a while to assemble — some we’ve tried were as long as three hours. The JOOLA 2500 ping pong table, however, is very easy to put together as it comes almost completely preassembled. The only installation necessary is the caster “T” bracketed legs which required a few bolts to screw together. It shouldn’t take much longer than 15 minutes, although we’d recommend having two people for setup as the table tops are very heavy. We also wouldn’t recommend that you pay extra for assembly service.

Other Models

Joola tour 1800.

joola tour 1800

A great alternative to the JOOLA 2500 table tennis table is the model down in the series: the Tour 1800 . It is significantly cheaper than the Tour 2500 but shares many of its benefits, such as being 95% preassembled and having a 100% satisfaction guarantee.

The primary drawback to opting for this model is that its play surface is considerably thinner at just 18mm. This means the table is nowhere near as bouncy, as such, it’s not a great choice for advanced players.

The Tour 1800 also has a smaller 1.5″ apron and smaller 3″ wheels.

To learn more about this model, give our review a read. Alternatively, we have a review for the most basic model as well ( the JOOLA Tour 1500 ).

  • Thick enough table top for beginners
  • Sturdy legs
  • Good customer support
  • Medium thickness

JOOLA Rally TL

joola tour 2500 alternative

A table that closely rivals the quality of the JOOLA 2500 is the JOOLA Rally TL . It weighs almost the same as the Tour 2500 (246lb vs 250lb) and has a quality 25mm table top.

Areas, where it places behind the Tour 2500, are its wheels and aprons. They are a little smaller than what the Tour 2500 has. However, it does have an abacus scorer and ball holders, whereas the Tour 2500 does not. Therefore it’s a great substitute.

We also have a write-up for the Rally TL series .

  • Regulation surface thickness – 1″ thick regulation approved surface for official tournaments
  • Strong and durable frame and undercarriage – 50mm thick frame plus a 50mm x 50mm undercarriage for extra stability and safety
  • Auto folding legs – The legs fold automatically for ease of use, and then they lock into place when stored
  • Comes 95% preassembled -Takes 10 to 15 minutes to put together
  • Playback position – Fold up one half of the table to practice on your own
  • 4″ locking caster wheels – As of 2019, JOOLA have updated the wheels to make them 4″ (rather than 3″) to make the table easier to maneuver
  • Reasonably priced – Tables with a 1″ thick surface are generally a lot more expensive than the JOOLA Tour 2500

JOOLA Tour 2500 Review

Great table top, solid frame, great playability for the price

Potential quality control issues and problems with inadequate packaging

The Joola Tour 2500 is a USA Table Tennis Approved recreational ping pong table. It offers a lot of the quality and many of the features of Joola’s professional tables at a price that is more suitable for homes and table tennis clubs. This two-piece regulation size table has a 1-inch thick top made of medium density fiberboard (MDF) for an excellent bounce and great playability. The heavy-duty powder-coated metal frame and undercarriage make it a stable playing surface and some nice convenience features. The Joola Tour 2500 is a solid table that really bridges the gap between recreational and professional-grade ping pong tables.

Specifications

  • High-Quality Tournament ready table tennis table includes competition net and post
  • Thick 1-inch (25mm) MDF painted surface
  • Durable 50mm metal frame and 50x50mm undercarriage
  • Nearly preassembled with two separate stand-alone halves on trundle system
  • Optimal storage dimensions of 24 1/2 x 62 1/4 x 64 Inch

Joola Tour Tables Video

Table Construction

The heavy-duty construction of the Joola Tour 2500 is immediately apparent as the table weighs in at 235 pounds. While it isn’t as heavy as other more expensive indoor tables, the Tour 2500 has the weight where it counts. The frame is built with a 2-inch by 2-inch square steel construction along with a 2-inch by 2-inch undercarriage that holds the top securely in place. The substantial frame helps to keep the table level and protects against wear and tear to give the table a much longer lifespan.

The Joola Tour 2500 certainly has a premium quality top. It’s a 1-inch thick sheet of MDF that goes through an elaborate polyurethane paint process that consists of many layers and coats. Ths makes the playing surface resistant to chipping, scratching and warping as well as allowing for great playability. The surface has a very consistent bounce, no noticeable dead spots and takes spin very well.

A great thing about the Tour 2500 is the fact that it’s essentially two separate table halves that come together to form the full table. Each standalone half has its own built-in trundle system that allows it to be transported and stored separately. This dual undercarriage system makes the table very easy to maneuver and due to the 3-inch lockable casters, the table rolls smoothly and easily across most surfaces.

Joola Tour 2500 in Storage Position

When in folded position you can nest the two table halves easily allowing the table to be stored in relatively small spaces. The optimal storage dimensions of the Joola Tour 2500 is 24 1/2 inches x 62 1/4 inches x 64 inches.

The table also comes with a matching competition-grade net set that comes with an adjustable post that can be used to help level the table surface.

Convenience Features

In addition to a solid, strong frame and a great table top, the Tour 2500 also offers some nice convenience features. The outer four legs of the table have adjustable height levelers that easily allow you to level the table to any surface. This is a great feature that ensures you have a the best playing experience possible. The frame also features auto-folding legs so that facilitate easy folding and unfolding of the table. All you need to is disengage the safety locks on each side to the unfolded table and then push the table top up. The legs will automatically swing into position.

Joola Tour 2500 with Folding Legs

Other safety features include an anti-tilting device that locks the folded table half in place to avoid any unintended accidents while the table is in storage position or in the process of being moved. This is an especially important feature with a table like the Joola Tour 2500 as the heavy 1-inch top could prove deadly if it landed on someone unexpectedly. The four casters for each table half also lock which provides an added protection during storage as well as extra stability during play.

Lastly, the Tour 2500 supports playback mode, allowing you to fold up a single side and play against it to warm up or to practice by yourself. The previously mentioned auto-folding legs make it really easy to switch back and forth between playback and normal play modes.

Assembly Process

The Tour 2500 ships to you nearly preassembled in two separate table halves. The actual assembly process only really involves attaching the caster legs (shaped like T brackets) to the rest of the frame. This just requires sliding them in and tightening a few bolts. The hardest part is just lifting the two separate table halves together and actually moving the table to its desired location. It is very heavy and unruly so we recommend you have at least two adults to help put it into place.

Potential Downsides

The biggest reported problems with the Joola Tour 2500 have to do with damage during shipping. Because it is such a heavy table, it’s easy for the surface to get scratched and for the own weight of the table to cause components to bend and break when sliding around in the back of a truck. Joola could probably do a better job packaging the table for shipment and eliminate many of these issues. These problems are somewhat common with heavy tables like and no matter how well-packaged they are, a careless delivery worker can easily cause damage to your table. Our best advice is to carefully inspect the table when it is shipped to you and if there is damage, refuse to sign for the item.

The Joola Tour 2500 is the product of great engineering and high-quality materials. While it doesn’t have all the bells and whistles of higher-priced indoor tables, it delivers on a giving you a great playing experience at a reasonable price.

Joola Tour 2500 Table Tennis Table Review

When it comes to table tennis, the right playing surface can make all the difference. The Joola Tour 2500 Table Tennis Table , featuring a 25mm top, is a piece of equipment that caters to the needs of serious players, clubs, and institutions. With that in mind, here's a review of all the features and benefits this table has:

Setting up the Joola Tour 2500 is a substantial task, but the instructions are pretty straightforward. It's advisable to have at least two people for assembly due to the weight and size of the table. The legs are adjustable for leveling, ensuring a consistent and level playing surface.

Build Quality

The standout feature of the Joola Tour 2500 is its 25mm medium-density fiberboard (MDF) top, providing a professional-grade playing surface. It's the closest you can get to a tournament-level table in your own home. The thick MDF top ensures an excellent bounce and minimizes any warping over time. The table is robust, and the undercarriage is well-constructed, guaranteeing years of durability. This is a table that can withstand the rigors of competitive play.

Size and Space

Measuring regulation size at 9x5 feet, the Joola Tour 2500 requires a spacious area. This table is best suited for dedicated game rooms or larger spaces. It comes with a playback mode, allowing for solo practice sessions by folding up one-half of the table. However, due to its size, it might not be the best option for those with limited space.

Design and Aesthetics

While the Joola Tour 2500 prioritizes functionality and performance, it still manages to offer a sleek and minimalistic design. The dark blue tabletop and the sturdy steel frame and legs give it a professional appearance. Including a tournament-grade net and post set adds to the overall quality and aesthetic appeal.

Gameplay Experience

The Joola Tour 2500 delivers a sublime playing experience. The 25mm MDF top provides an excellent bounce and consistent ball response, ensuring that your shots are rewarded as they should be. Whether you're a casual player or a seasoned pro, you'll appreciate the exceptional quality of the playing surface. The table meets all International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) specifications, making it suitable for professional and competitive play.

The sturdy frame and undercarriage ensure stability during even the most intense rallies. The table doesn't wobble or move, allowing you to focus entirely on your game. The 4-inch locking casters make it easy to move the table when needed and lock securely during play.

Safety is a significant concern for any piece of home sports equipment. The Joola Tour 2500 includes a unique and effective safety latch system that locks the tabletop upright, preventing accidental opening or closing. This feature provides peace of mind, especially in households with children.

Accessories

The table comes with a tournament-grade net and post set that's easy to install. While the accessories are high quality, the set does not include paddles or balls. Serious players will likely already have their preferred equipment, but it's worth noting that these items are not included.

Price and Value

The Joola Tour 2500 is an investment at $874.95, but it's worth every penny for those serious about table tennis. Its 25mm MDF top and professional-grade features make it one of the best tables in its class. The price is competitive, considering the quality, and it's a long-term investment in your game.

Construction

Joola Tour 2500 Review – a Ping Pong Table for an Authentic Training Experience

Joola Tour 2500 table halves mount on separate rolling trolley systems.

The fact that the Joola Tour 2500 is the joining of two independent table halves to make a whole table is one of the best features. Each half has its distinct features, allowing it to be carried and stored independently.

The top of the JOOLA 2500 ping pong table is unquestionable of high quality. It’s a 1-inch-thick strong (25 mm) board of medium-density fiberboard (MDF) that goes through a lengthy polyurethane paint process with multiple layers and high coating. It protects the playing surface from cracking, bending, and scratching while also providing excellent playability.

It has a frame size of 1.96 inches (50 mm). To reduce wear, the steel frame and undercarriage are powder coated. The strong frame provides enough stability for the table to handle knocks and vibrations. Its corners are also protected to prevent cracking. The steel undercarriage is 1.96 x 1.96 inches (50 x 50 mm) and provides a solid and strong feel.

The tennis table has four legs with adjustable height levelers that make it easy to balance the table on any surface, keeping the floor scratch-free. The balance of the legs allows you to get the most satisfactory possible gaming experience.

Caster Wheel

There are four caster wheels on each half of the table, and these caster wheels are four inches in diameter.

Rubber height adjustments are built into the ends of the table legs to guarantee that the surface is perfectly level.

The 4 locking caster wheels of Joola Tour 2500 provide added safety during gameplay.

Net & Post Set

The net and post set that comes with most table tennis are usually of poor quality, so they are eventually replaced, but the Joola Tour 2500 net and posts always come in high-quality. Remember, they are USATT approved, so the best quality is assured. The screw-on clamps make it simple to attach and detach them from the table. The net also comes with a ring chain that aids the adjustment of its tightness and height.

This is one of the best features that the Joola 2500 table tennis table has. It is delivered assembled. You don’t need to start putting all of the parts together; it comes assembled. However, you would have to attach the caster legs (formed like T brackets) to the rest of the frame to complete the assembling.

Size & Weight

The maximum price for the table is $1000 and to be honest, it’s relatively cheap compared to the features it possesses. It offers almost the same benefits as the professional tables that are sold above $1000, not forgetting that they don’t come assembled.

Other Features

The Joola Tour 2500 offers you more than your money’s worth.

Joola Tour 2500 Indoor Table Tennis Table Review

If you are in the market for a great value for money professional table you might have come across the  Joola Tour 2500 Indoor Table Tennis Table  sold on Amazon.com for $796.99 . It’s also sold on Megaspin.net for $634.95  OR you could get it with the IPong Robot bundle for $799.00 .

Joola Tour 2500 Indoor Table Tennis Table

Before we get into the review, we recommend you check out Ben’s popular article, The Best Table Tennis Tables , for a comprehensive look at everything you should consider before buying a table tennis table.

You might also like to visit our Table Tennis Table Review page for our other reviews.

Joola Tour 2500 Table

In this review, we will be looking at the following factors…

  • Customer Satisfaction
  • Recommendations
  • The Final Word

1. Features

The  Joola Tour 2500 Indoor Table Tennis Table  features a 1 inch (25mm) playing surface, dual safety locking devices with two separate halves and four wheels per half for easy mobility. It is a USATT approved table and net system ready for tournament level play. It has a playback feature (meaning you can put half of the table up to hit against – if you want to). And it can also be stored away very compact.

Competition Ready Table Top

Joola Tour 2500 Indoor Table Tennis Table

Ben talk’s a lot more about the importance of table thickness in his comprehensive article The Best Table Tennis Tables but, in short, competition tables are 25mm thick and you really need a table to be 19mm thick in order to get a “decent” bounce.

If you are looking for a table to use for serious training and an authentic table tennis experience, then getting the Joola Tour 2500 Indoor Table Tennis Table  would be a really great choice. However, if you are just looking for some fun and recreational play, or planning on getting a cheap table for family gatherings, then the Joola Tour 2500 Indoor Table Tennis Table might not be for you.

Construction

Joola Tour 2500 Indoor Table Tennis Table

Professional Net

Joola Tour 2500 Indoor Table Tennis Table

The posts are held in place by screw-on clamps that are made to prevent scratching the table. The net has a ring chain to adjust the tension. You want it just tight enough so it stands nicely upright. You can also use the net to level out the two halves of the table, which we found worked great.

The  Joola Tour 2500 Indoor Table Tennis Table  was made with value for money. It is a professional grade table at a fraction of the price of others on the market and we would recommend it to any serious player.

Sold on Amazon.com for $796.99 it has a very appealing price tag. But you can get it cheaper on Megaspin.net, which are selling it for  $634.95 . And if you are also looking to train with a robot there is an iPong robot bundle with the table, also on Megaspin.net, for $799.00 .

3. Customer Satisfaction

The reviews on both Amazon.com and Megaspin.net have been great. Here are some of the things people had to say…

“I purchased this table 6 months ago and have been pleased with the durability, quality construction, and design. I was drawn to this table after researching other tables without the strong leg and cross table supports.”   “The table is amazing and it plays incredibly well on. Very happy with the upgrade to a Joomla table. It looks, feels, and plays professional.”   “This table is awesome. As a polished player, I was looking for a table to put in my home that would give me competition-grade play while still affordable. This is that table.”

4. Recommendations

Is this table right for you?

If you are looking for a table that it truly “Competition-ready”…

By all means get the  Joola Tour 2500 Indoor Table Tennis Table ! It is one the best value for money professional grade table out there.

If you are looking for a recreational table that is more easily stored…

Maybe getting the  Joola Tour 2500 Indoor Table Tennis Table  might not be the right choice. We would recommend getting the  Stiga Advantage Table Tennis Table  which is the best table under $400.00 and will give you decent play.

5. The final Word

The Joola Tour 2500 Indoor Table Tennis Table  is built for professional and competition use. If you want a table that the pros play on and are willing to spend a bit extra, it is for you.

  • Buy the Joola Tour 2500 on Amazon.com for $796.99
  • But we recommend buying it from Megaspin.net for$ 634.95
  • Or getting it with the iPong Robot Bundle on Megaspin.net for $799.00

A picture of the Joola tour 2500

If you’re looking for tournament-standard bounce without spending a fortune, the Joola Tour 2500 is probably the best option on the market. It’s an outstanding table with a 25mm playing surface and highly consistent bounce – yet is available for considerably less than similar models.

When it comes to bounce consistency and height, the key factor is surface thickness. The  minimum I recommend for an indoor table is 15mm, but for serious practice you need 19mm or above. For mimicking tournament play, a 25mm table is usually required.

That’s why the Tour 2500’s 25mm playing surface is such an important feature. It provides superior bounce to models with thinner surfaces, so it’s great for serious games or tournament practice. It’s also the main reason the Tour 2500 is USATT approved.

Aside from the playing surface, the 2500 is a folding table that’s split into two halves. This makes it easier to store or use in playback mode. The legs and undercarriage are heavy-duty and built to last, while the surface itself is highly durable. A bonus is the competition-ready net set, which is much higher quality than the nets usually included with tables.

One of the reasons the Tour 2500 is cheaper than other 25mm models is because it’s not built with competition-grade matte, like more expensive alternatives such as the Joola Atlanta. It can still provide tournament-quality bounce though – and for a much lower price.

Beware: The thick surface means it’s a relatively heavy table. This is a small price to pay for such an excellent playing surface though.

Note: If the 2500 is too expensive, Joola also produce the similar Tour 1500 and Tour 1800 models with 15mm and 18mm playing surfaces respectively. While these models can’t match the pro bounce of the 2500, they are excellent tables for entry-level play – plus they are lighter and easy to move around the house.

Summary : The Joola Tour 2500 is an outstanding ping pong table if you want tournament-standard bounce on a budget. It’s durable, easy to store and provides a fast game – what more could you want?

  • Thickness: 25mm 
  • Table Type : Indoor Only
  • Price Range : $$$$ 
  • Excellent value considering the tournament bounce
  • Split into two halves for easy storage
  • Relatively heavy

Our Favorite Joola Outdoor Model…

2. joola outdoor.

The Joola Outdoor is my to pick for an outside model from this brand

If you’re looking for an inexpensive outdoor table that can still provide a decent playing surface, the Joola Outdoor is a great choice. It’s currently #2 on our list of outdoor ping pong tables – and it’s a lot of fun to play on.

As you would expect, the Outdoor is built to withstand outside weather conditions. The undercarriage is powder-coated, so it can survive harsh winter months, while each leg has a leveler for uneven ground. It also has an aluminum / plastic composite playing surface which is highly durable.

Speaking of the playing surface, the 6mm thickness means it can’t match the bounce quality of indoor tables. This is the case for almost all outdoor models though (the Kettler Outdoor 10 being a notable exception).

With that said, the Joola still provides decent bounce. If you want a table that’s enjoyable to play on, while being durable enough to be used outside, it’s an excellent option.

Additionally, it’s relatively easy to put together, so you shouldn’t need to spend hours fiddling with screws or trying to decipher the instruction manual. Once built, the heavy-duty caster wheels make it easy to move the two separate halves around the garden. I recommend buying a high-quality cover to protect it from rain and wind when stored though.

Note: For a round-up of outdoor tables from all brands, visit this page .

Summary : When it comes to weatherproof tables for recreational games, the Joola Outdoor is hard to beat. The 6mm playing surface provides surprisingly consistent bounce, so it’s fun to play on. It’s also durable and provides great value.

  • Thickness:  6 ​ mm 
  • Table Type : Outdoor
  • Price Range : $$ 
  • Highly durable and built to last
  • Decent bounce considering the price
  • 6mm playing surface can’t match indoor tables for bounce quality

Our Favorite Joola Conversion Top…

3. joola conversion top with foam bottom.

Joola product an excellent conversion top

Conversion tops can be a useful alternative if you’re tight on space or money. Most can’t match the bounce of a “proper” table, but they are cheaper, lighter and good enough for beginners or even keen amateurs.

One of the best tabletop converters is the Joola Conversion Top, due to its surprisingly consistent bounce and table-saving padding. It’s designed for a billiard table, but can be used on a variety of tables up to 8′ long (such as pool, foosball and even dining tables).

As you would expect from a Joola table, this model is built to a high standard. It has a 15mm MDF playing surface, which is thicker than many conversion tops and provides decent bounce for the price. The surface is split into two halves, which makes it easy to store, while the MDF should prevent it warping.

One of my favorite features of the Joola is the padding. Unlike many conversion tops, which have small areas of padding on each corner, the underside of this model is entirely covered in protective foam. This is great for ensuring the table underneath doesn’t get scratched during a game.

The main drawback is the weight. It’s relatively heavy, mainly due to its thick playing surface, so it’s not the most mobile. The upside is that this heavy and thick design provides a fast paced game.

Summary : The Joola Conversion Top has a solid 15mm playing surface and surprisingly decent bounce. It’s not suitable for serious games (like most tabletop converters), but for practicing or recreational play it provides great value for money.

  • Thickness:  15mm 
  • Fast surface and decent bounce
  • Split into two halves to save space
  • One of the heavier conversion tops

Other Notable Mentions

4. joola nova dx.

The Nova DX is another excellent outside table

A step up from the Joola Outdoor is the Nova DX. It’s an all-weather table that’s USATT approved, plus it comes with a tournament-standard net and a highly durable undercarriage.

Like the Outdoor, the Nova DX has a 6mm playing surface made from a combination of aluminum and plastic. This resists warping, so it should last a long time, while providing a relatively fast game and decent bounce.

It also has a weatherproof undercarriage made from rust-resistant metal. As with most Joola tables, it’s split into two parts for easy storage and sits on 3″ wheels.

A bonus is that the Nova DX comes 95% pre-assembled. Joola estimates assembly should take around 15 minutes, which might be optimistic, but it shouldn’t take long. I recommend getting a friend to help with assembly though, as it’s difficult on your own.

Despite being an excellent table, I don’t see much reason to buy the Nova DX over the standard Outdoor. Both are great for playing ping pong outdoors, but the Nova DX doesn’t provide enough extra to justify the significantly higher price. With that said, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed with either model.

Summary : The Nova DX is a great table for outdoor ping pong. The folding two-part design, easy assembly and heavy-duty wheels make it a convenient model to use, while the 6mm playing surface provides decent bounce. If you’re on a tight budget, go for the standard Outdoor though.

  • Thickness:  6mm 
  • Price Range : $$$ 
  • Great bounce for an outdoor table
  • Easy to put together and highly durable
  • More expensive than the standard Joola Outdoor

5. Joola Inside 15

The inside 15 is great for family games

If you just want a table tennis table for family games or playing with friends, you don’t need to spend thousands on a high-end table. With that said, you also shouldn’t buy the cheapest 12mm tables, as they have horrible bounce and won’t last long.

A good compromise is the Joola Inside 15. It’s a relatively cheap table, yet has a 15mm playing surface and a durable design. It’s also made from folding halves, so it’s easy to store or move around the home.

The playing surface is made from MDF, which provides decent bounce that’s relatively consistent. It can’t match the Tour 1800 or 2500, but for family games it’s certainly good enough. If you want a table for serious practice, however, go for a table with at least 18-19mm playing surface.

Like most Joola tables, it comes mostly assembled, so you just need to attach the legs with bolts and setup the net. The undercarriage is made from 1.5″ steel legs, which is thinner than more expensive models but sturdy enough for home use.  There are also leg levelers for uneven surfaces.

Summary : The Joola Inside 15 can’t match the company’s best models – but it’s not designed to. Instead, it’s built to provide a decent playing surface for a great price. If you’re looking for a table for recreational play, it’s an excellent choice.

  • Decent bounce from the 15mm MDF surface
  • Great value for money
  • Not thick enough for serious practice

What About the Joola Midsize?

The Joola Midsize is a compact table that’s designed for people that don’t have enough space for a full size model. It’s relatively cheap, as you would expect, and has dimensions of 6’x3′ instead of 9’x6′ for a regulation table.

To be completely honest, I’m not a fan of mini or small tables. They get players into bad habits, even if the surface provides reliable bounce. I usually recommend looking for an outdoor table instead – although this isn’t always possible if you live in an apartment. Tabletop converters can also be a good alternative if storage is the problem.

With that said, if you have no other option then a compact table can still be fun to play on – and the Joola Midsize is one of the best on the market. It’s 100% pre-assembled, regulation height and comes with a Joola net. It’s also inexpensive compared to full size models, although you’ll need to buy a racket/paddles and balls as they aren’t included.

What About “X” Model?

The five reviews on this page are all excellent models, and I don’t think you’ll be disappointed with any of them. They aren’t the only high-quality tables produced by Joola though. Here’s a quick overview of some of the others that didn’t quite make this list:

  • Joola Victory. The Victory is a two-piece rollaway table that’s designed for family games. It’s regulation size and great for fun games, but I don’t recommend it for serious practice.
  • Joola Rally TL 300 . The Rally TL is a 15mm table with some useful extras, such as ball holders and an abacus scorer. It’s more expensive than entry-level models, but has decent bounce for recreational players.
  • Joola Signature . The Signature is a folding table with an excellent 25mm playing surface. It’s a fast paced table that provides great value – although it’s not always easy to find.
  • Joola 3000 SC . If you’re looking for a professional table tennis table, the 3000 SC could be a good choice. It has an Olympic-standard 22mm playing surface, 50mm metal frame and adjustable levelers, along with an excellent net. It’s expensive though, which is why I recommend the Tour 2500.
  • Joola World Cup DX30 Championship Series . With an astonishing 32mm table top, the DX30 is probably the thickest model on the market. This provides excellent bounce consistency, although I don’t think it’s much better than the Tour 2500.
  • Joola Triumph 15 . The Triumph 15 is similar to the Inside 15, as it has a 15mm MDF surface that’s great for recreational players.

Where Can I get Spares, Replacement Parts or Instruction Manuals?

The first place to look for replacement or spare parts is on Google. There are a number of smaller stores that sell Joola spares, but make sure you get the exact part for your model of table. You can also try larger stores such as Amazon or Sears. If that fails, try contacting Joola directly.

If you’ve lost the instructions for your table, you can find them here .

Where is the Best Place to Buy a J​oola?

Most major retailers sell Joola tables, as they are amongst the most popular on the market. Online stores such as Amazon, Sears, Walmart and many others stock a range of Joola models. You can also find them at MegaSpin and Dick’s Sporting Goods. Most retailers offer regular sale prices, so make sure you check regularly.

Joola produce some fantastic ping pong tables for a range of budgets and skill levels. Regardless of your requirements, there’s almost certainly an excellent Joola model available.

To summarize this article, here are my top picks from this brand:

  • The best Joola ping pong table is the excellent Tour 2500 . The 25mm playing surface provides tournament-standard bounce for a very reasonable price. I highly recommend it.
  • For playing outside, the Joola Outdoor is a great option. It provides good value and decent bounce, plus it’s cheaper than the Nova.

JOOLA Inside and STIGA Advantage are the two most popular ping pong tables in the world. JOOLA Inside has an overwhelming rating of nearly 6500 (4.6 out of 5) on amazon.com while for STIGA Advantage the rating is almost 6200 (4.7 out of 5). These statistics show not only the rivalry between them but also prove their credibility. Moreover, both tables have many variants to opt for, and they are reasonably priced. In this neck-and-neck comparison of  “JOOLA Inside vs STIGA Advantage”, I will try to highlight the minute differences between the two table tennis tables to help you for a better selection.

Page Contents

JOOLA Inside Vs STIGA Advantage: A Comparative Study

JOOLA Inside, also known as JOOLA Inside 15, is a regulation (9 X 5 X 2.5 ft) indoor ping pong table with a 15 mm MDF tabletop. There are 4 models of JOOLA Inside with changes in table thickness and undercarriage.

If you are thinking of a ping pong table for serious play, then you may consider the following two variants.

For better ball bounce :

  • JOOLA Inside 25 (Table thickness: 25 mm)
  • JOOLA Inside 18 (Table thickness: 18 mm)

For recreational play :

  • JOOLA Inside 15 (Table thickness: 15 mm)
  • JOOLA Inside 13 (Table thickness: 13 mm)

Similar to JOOLA Inside, STIGA Advantage is also a standard full-size table with a 16 mm thick tabletop. It also has three models.

  • STIGA Advantage Pro 25 (25 mm thick)
  • STIGA Advantage Pro (19 mm thick)

For entertainment and fun-making :

  • STIGA Advantage (16 mm thick)
  • STIGA Advantage Lite (12 mm thickness)

Based on the two types of requirements (Serious and recreational), let’s compare JOOLA Inside vs STIGA Advantage with the best models.

With a much higher table thickness which is the most dominant factor for a quality table tennis table, JOOLA Inside 25 and STIGA Advantage Pro 25 offer the most accurate bounce for the best playing experience. They are tournament-grade tables with a relatively higher price tags.

The following comparisons are based on the same table thickness with nearly the same amount of budget.

JOOLA Inside Vs STIGA Advantage: For Recreational Play

JOOLA inside professional table tennis table

The comparison between the two tables has been segmented into three parts:

  • operational features

Constructional features

Operational features.

Both the tables, JOOLA Inside (15 mm) and STIGA Advantage (16 mm) have similar operational and safety features that a good ping pong table covers, like:

  • Minimum assembly time (15 – 20 minutes)
  • Compact storage solution (Less space is needed)
  • Portability (Easily moved)
  • Playback mode (For practice without a partner)
  • Safety features
  • Spring-loaded safety latch to prevent the tabletop from unfolding
  • Locking mechanism in wheels
  • Protective corners to keep children safe during play

So, JOOLA Inside vs STIGA Advantage (For operational features): No clear winner

For constructional features, there are some minor differences.

Both the tables are neck and neck and it is hard to pick up the better one between them. With a slight edge of table thickness (1 mm) over JOOLA Inside, STIGA Advantage is a better deal between the two.

So the winner of STIGA Advantage vs JOOLA Inside (For construction features): STIGA Advantage

The price of both the tables is below $500. With a price tag of $499.99, STIGA Advantage is costlier than JOOLA Inside which you may get for $412.98 from Amazon.com. (The price of the tables may vary from time to time).

The winner in the price segment is JOOLA Inside

Considering all three factors, operational features, constructional features, and price, it may be concluded that both STIGA Advantage and JOOLA Inside are equally good ping pong tables . You may choose any one of them according to your brand preference.

JOOLA Inside 18 Vs STIGA Advantage Pro: For Serious Play

If you are keen on a good ball bounce for a better experience with table tennis, you have to go for a higher table thickness which starts at 18 mm. Both Inside 18 and Advantage Pro touch the minimum benchmark level with a thickness of 18 mm and 19 mm respectively. Though most of the features of both the tables are the same, some differences highlight the better one.

With slightly better construction features and a lower price tag, STIGA Advantage Pro is a better deal.

If the budget is not a constraint for you, the best option is JOOLA Inside 25 . This 25 mm thick table tennis table will give you the highest level of playing experience with an ultimate ball bounce that has a lower price tag compared to the tables with the same parameters of other reputed brands.

Which is Better STIGA or JOOLA?

As a manufacturer of table tennis equipment, both the brands STIGA and JOOLA are well trusted and bear a very good reputation for quality products with affordable prices.

STIGA is a Sweden-based sports goods manufacturer, especially in table tennis equipment, with partners from over 100 countries. This company started its journey in the year 1944 and under the guidance of legends of Sweden, STIGA has become a top leader in the table tennis industry.

JOOLA was the proud table sponsor in the 1996 Atlanta, 2000 Sydney, and 2004 Athens summer games .

  1. JOOLA Inside 25 Vs Tour 2500: Which is Better?

    Durability. The durability is also a prime concern for the return on investment. In respect of durability, both tournament-quality tables are good enough for the long run.
