Any serious table tennis player would be interested to know what his or her favorite world class player use while playing. The manufactures of table tennis products sponsor professionals, and they publish the equipment that their sponsored players use. The last few pages of the butterfly magazine has a list of all the players they sponsor in the United States and world wide. They publish this list on their website also.

The data that come from manufactures are sometimes inaccurate. This is not a manufacture’s mistake. The players switch sponsors very often, and they would like to stick with the equipment they have already used.

The video TABLE TENNIS LIFESTYLE shows the equipments of players such as Wang Liqin, Wang Hao, Joo Se Hyuk. The video can be received from

Hey Varghese

Can you please update this list with new players. We are very interested in pips players and their stuff.

Cheers, Martin

I will update the list soon. I may visit Europe or Singapore this year, so would be able to receive more information.
