Table tennis stories<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How we build a replica of his beloved Table Tennis racket<\/strong> for over 80-year old<\/strong> Tony from England<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Replica of almost 50 years old table tennis blade<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

We received a particularly exciting request from Tony in England – Tony is almost 90 years old and is still chairman of a local table tennis club. He has been playing table tennis almost all his life and a big part of it – almost 50 years! – with one and the same racket!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

“My nearly 50-year old table tennis racket is damaged. Can you rebuild it for me? I can’t play without this racket!<\/strong>“<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Sure, of course we do! We love to do it!<\/strong>
So Tony took the his racket to the post office and when we opened the package a few days later, we were surprised ourselves – Oh yes, this blade has really been through a lot! I wonder how many hours he has played with it? And how many rubber changes do you think it has survived?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rebuilding such a racket was a very special challenge and not at all easy. With such an old blade, it is not enough just to rebuild the veneer structure. This is because the aging process and the materials used at the time must also be recreated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
