Structure and Assembly
The net assembly consists of an Upright post, Height adjuster, Horizontal part of the net post and an Attaching clamp. The table tennis nets used can have either wider or narrower brackets. A wider table bracket will offer more stability of the net and post
system itself and also can add stability to the table by holding the two
halves together more securely. A narrower bracket has less stability and
may not help table stability.
The material used are usually cotton or nylon table tennis nets. It has
strong table clamps with felt pads. Micro adjustable height, heavy duty
bracket & net, and light yet strong aluminum posts are the main
features. The nets are weatherproof.
The net is actually an obstacle. So it should not increase the probability of a player gaining a lucky point. As a rule, when a player hits a ping pong ball at the top of the net, it should fall back on the hitter's side or bounce forwards. The ball shouldnot fall over onto the receiver's side. That is why the tension along the top of the net should be very very high than the rest of the net. That is why the fabric is suspended by a cord which must be tight and it must be attached only loosely to the posts.
