Awesome Table Tennis Return Boards !!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 сен 2024
- These are two homemade table tennis return boards.
Great equipment to practise table tennis with when alone.
Helps improve topspin, footwork, accuracy and reaction time.
Cost half the price of a basic returnboard but has all the features of more advanced boards.
Cost: $165 AUD
Dimensions of Board: 0.85m(W) x 0.40m(H) x 0.011m(D)
Materials Used:
- 0.8mm thinck ply wood
- 20 sheets of table tennis rubber (bought from ebay)
- 2 heavy duty music stands (bought from ebay)
- 2 bolts and nuts for each board
- Table tennis rubber glue
- Spare wood
Procedure:
1. Cut ply wood to size (as specified above in dimensions of board)
2. Take off metal board from music stand.
3. Drill 2 holes in ply wood board to fit tread of the bolt (in the bottom half of middle of the board) being the right distance apart to fit the connector between the music stand and board. Also drill down half the thickness of the board with a drill bit the same diameter of the bolf head (this is to make should the bolt head doesn't affect the surface of the rubber) -- [this step varies for the type of music stands you buy and the way they attach the stand to the board]
4. [Optional] Cut a block of wood the same shape as the connector between the board and stand and drill 2 holes same distance apart as in step 3 (this is done to project the boards forward a little more to allow greater angle of tilt) (also you can see what I mean in video at 0:18)
5. Place bolt through board and connector (and block of wood if done where the block goes between the board and connector) and secure with bolt. (also see 0:18)
6. Smear table tennis glue over boards and back of rubber sheets.
7. Apply rubber sheets to board working from the top corner (you should be able to fit 2 sheets down and 5 sheets across if done correctly) - (also the rubbers should be glued over the bolts
8. Allow to dry overnight before testing
9. [Optional] Paint/decorate
:) Hope that helps a little (I think thats all)
Made by Me and idea by my brother.
You are brilliant. Thank you for taking the time to share your design and answering questions. What a generous thing to do.
@msmuzikera13 The boards will still work without rubber except you wont get the same feel like your playing against someone else. By having rubber, when the ball returns, it will come back with topspin whereas without rubber, the ball will return with no spin. Also its much louder. But it will still work and you could always add rubber later.
The best returnboard by far.... really awesome man!!
@drwise2 Thank you. The boards are about 85cm x 40cm each, roughly. The board itself is made of a think piece of ply wood and correct, majority of the cost was the rubbers. In total I used 20 sheets of rubber for the two boards. I wish you all the best for your boards as well.
@awesomdanz:I'm blown away by the quality of your return boards.They're better than many of the commercial boards I've seen.Unfortunately,I'm not exactly a wizard when it comes to building things. If I knew how to proceed step by step I don't think it would be a problem.I know it's asking a lot,and if you don't have the time I understand.However,if you could tell me all of the equipment I would need and a step by step timeline for constructing it I would be extremely grateful.TY for your time.
@fishing4living the boards i actually bought the boards from a local hardware store and cut them out to a size I preferred. I cut them out to be 85cm by 40cm each.
Thank you for this Idea. I am going build it one change I am planning to do is just use the sheet stand and lean a board against it in forward facing angle.
@maxk880 you actually have to use plywood or some other light wood and have to replace the board with the frame that holds the sheet music OR an easier way would be to just attach the wood very tightly to the front of board where you put sheet music on. It works best if you stick rubber on top of the wood to get a properly table tennis bat feel. Hope that helped.
Nice tactics wanna try it. Thank you for sharing idea 💡
I literally just made one of these but mine is nowhere as nice as yours. Great job! I was hoping I would get a good idea off of somebody. Thank You!
@macdaddy1600 the thickness is 8mm and th type of plywood. The plywood I used was the basic one sold at the local warehouse. Hope that helps.
@baseballguy724 Correct, good observations. A block of wood should be fine. You have to customise the attachment to the type of music stand you have.
excellent design and i admire your idea,, i'm going to try and make one too : )
@ravaneli55 Yerh, music stands are made to tilt backward and only a little bit forward. Mine only tilt a fraction forward but it is heaps to be able to practise. I've had professionals test it out and they could get no where near the full forward tilt of it. So even though it seems they cant tilt forward much, it still does everything you want it to.
Man !!! You're a genius !!!! I was thinking how the hell I'm gonna do a homemade return board. That's it. The strange thing is that I'm saxophone teacher, I see those music stands every day and I didn't though of it. Thank you SOOO much .
Do you know the price of an original Michael Pollack return board ? About 400 euros.
It's too expensive for me, so thanks again for the amazing idea!!!
what rubber did you use?
great design!
@paulogolin no sorry, i didn't test it before i put the rubber on but in theory, because the boards have no grip without rubber, the spin on the ball can't get grip on the boards so the spin has no effect which is why it rebounds down and not back over the net. The rubbers are very important for the function of these boards.
I applaud your ingenuity!! Could you provide the dimensions of the boards and what they are made of? I'm guessing most of the cost was the rubbers. Again, good job. With your help, maybe mine will work out as well.
@paulogolin Thank you very much ... hope you have as much joy as I had
@elliot666666 The actually rubber I bought was from 'Ping Pong World' and the rubbers were '20x Reactor Corbor Pips-In T.T. Rubber/Sponge, NEW'. They were the cheapest I could find and suit the purpose of the boards just fine. Hope that helps.
Many thanks for prompt reply Daniel. I intend to copy these as I feel you have made a really good DIY job on these. If you remember the site on ebay you got the rubber tiles from I would be most grateful. Great work.
Steve
@ddoosey well, the stand I use was actually from a music stand. I order 2 heavy duty music stands then I took off the board where the sheet music was put and substitute the return board in it's place. It was almost a like for like swap. There was only some minor modifications that I needed to make.
@baseballguy724 The boards are about 85cm x 40cm each, roughly and the wood used was a think piece of ply wood
@baseballguy724 my dimensions are irrelevant unless you have exactly the same music stands as the ones i used. You must look at the way the board attaches to the music stand pole. Then from that, you must figure out a way to attach your new returnboards to it. The block isn't very necessary. I only put it on so I could get a greater angle with the boards.
was wondering where u got rubbers for ur return board...also what kind of plywood did u use???
Hi Daniel where did you get the rubber tiles from for the front? Did you use any sponge backing as well?
Many thanks Steve
@placid21 well ... for both of the boards together, it cost me about $165 AUS.
The ones you can buy from Germany cost $328 AUS (251 Euros) for the basic double model, but my return boards can do the same things as the speed and power returnboards which cost $383 AUS (293 Euros) and $493 AUS (377 Euros).
Really awesome!
Hi, I just put in up in my description. Hope it makes sense.
I've constructed my return board using your design , however the ball sems to bouncing hard enough , Ive used frienship standard rubbers.,so Im thinking its rather the thickness/material of the board or the mix stand.
@ravaneli55 Yerh.. cause I got the stands from ebay, it doesnt have a model number. They were just the cheapest ones I could find but they have to be 'Heavy Duty Music Stands' in order to support the weight of the boards. So .. Goodluck.
@elliot666666 hi, the rubber I bought from ebay (was the cheapest I could find but still good quality). The sponge behind it is apart of the rubber sheets, they come as one and al I had to do was glue it on the boards.
what model of music stand is it?
clever idea... what do you use to stick the board and the music stand? did you put the screw straight on the board?
thanks for the info will look into it
Oh, man, ¡¡your returnboards are fantastic!!. I love the returnboards, I have my own design, but your design is very good. Bye.
Hi there! I know it's been a while since you published this video, but I've just watched it and loved your work. I particularly fancy the idea of music tripods, it makes everything easier. But, after all this time, do they still support the boards properly? Thanks for your work!
mine is still standing strong after 3yrs. :)
thanks very good design and implementation. Who did u buy the rubber from on ebay? whats the brand and cost per sheet
honestly, cant remember and I had a look trying to find them again but seems they dont sell it anymore
Q1> Did you take the plastic sheets off the rubber. I just made a rebound board with huison brand rubber total 35$ for 8 rubbers. The rubber has a plastic like all chinese rubbers. I am debating takinng it off or leaving it in as it is easier to clean.
2) what kind of tripod is it. I mounted it on a monitor mount but find it is too close to the table edge so any hard hit balls just go off table. Looking to see if i can make it batter by mounting on tripod.
@Cobbbg1998 l bought all my stuff from ebay. To mount it, you have to get the mount from the music stand that original attaches to the stand and put it on the boards instead.
@baseballguy724 well, to get the right shape, i sawed the block to roughly the right shape then i sanded it. Any wood glue should be fine
@rgayda no. they are sheet music stands.
do you have a list of the materials; type of board and dimensions, rubber mateirals, etc.
@awesomdanz did u tested your return board BEFORE gluing the rubbers? I made return boards exactly like your but I still didn't put the rubbers (too expensive to buy this month hehe). They don't work for me ...guess it's the lack of the rubbers. when I play with them reclined to the front the ball hit the board and get down instead of going up and reach the other side of the table.
@vivoviv Hi, well I used Reactor Carbor Pips-In Rubbers. These are ITTF approved rubbers and they were just the cheapest I could find. For more info on the rubbers, just type '20x Reactor Corbor' in ebay and you will find the exact price and all the stats.
great! love it!!
hi do you have a list of the materials; type of board and dimensions, rubber mateirals? Thanks
How to make it. You ripe the music holder out of a music stand then you add rubber on
@MhfuForEver ummm ok then. In ebay, type in 'heavy duty music stands'. Any of the black heavy duty music stands would work perfectly fine but I bought the music stands from 'ozplaza.living'. These stands are quite easy to customise to our requirements. Good Luck.
Good luck to you for making your own. I bought a return board and found it noisy and extremely boring. It's a bit like kicking a football against a wall. A cheap robot wasn't much more expensive and is much more enjoyable.
Hi Iam interested to buy the two return boards can you let me know please from where can i buy it from? Thanks.
@awesomdanz Well I didn't really understand it. Maybe you can make a video tutorial? So I have my music holder, I turn it forward, and then?
Hello.
Can you share what is the name of the brackets you used in the tripod? or the model of the tripod if they came with them?
what is the thickness of the board? what type of rubber have you used?
Hi Daniel where did you buy the stands from, I actually have the stands for speakers but don't have the adjustable top .......what do you call it thanks David
I bought the stands from ebay. They're called heavy duty music stands and they allow the vertical rotation at the top.
How much u pay for 1 side ? nice idea !!! i want to make it but i don't know how i can make it. TT
@raviloga The board is 9mm thick and the rubber I used was normal table tennis rubber which I bought in bulk from ebay (specifically Reactor Carbor Pips-In Rubbers).
@Mikedduarte I used normal table tennis rubber which I bought in bulk from ebay.
dude how did you make that? I have a music stand but paper and other stuff doens't work. plz respond
What glue did you use to attach rubbers ?
best design I've seen yet.. can you tell me if I ought to be looking for a certain kind of music stand, as it's not clear to me exactly how you fasten that wood block to it, or how you remove the larger metal part that is normally on the stand.. thanks!
What was the total cost of rubber? and have you made a "how to Video" yet?
the wood is called masonite ( timber ) right?
from where did you get d stand?
@miichaelip Both boards together cost me $165 AUD so I guess you could probably be able to make one side for around $100.
What's the price for this attachment?
Have you heard of squip? there you use every wall as a return board. this is amazing. there are already some videos around. #squip
riiiight!
🤔🤔🤔.... Amezing 🏓🏓🏓🏓
Are these Mic Stand?
Roughly how much did you pay for the stands?
what is the total cost of it
How much?
Hi, it's about 11mm thick. And the rubber I used was normal table tennis rubber that you can easily buy from ebay.
@1755ottoman Total cost of rubber was $70. I've been intending to make a 'how to' video but i havn't had the time yet as I am studying at the moment.
Price???
@awesomdanz Yes i know xD But thats the problem! The link is offline in ebay -___-
great stuff!
@maxk880 it's really hard to explain. Yerh, I might make a video during the week explaining how I made it and what I used. But keep trying to figure it out.
how much it costs?
whats the cost
How pricey؟
WHAT IF I DONT PUT RUBBER SHEETS?
the music was like ''i'm so lonely"...
@MhfuForEver the start of the link (world wide web) have spaces between them (w w w) because it doesnt allow me to post it otherwise so when you copy and paste it, just delete the spaces and it should work.
That's clever
@viejoteca89 Thank you.
@baseballguy724 I got them from ebay.
@awesomdanz I spent a total of $165 AUD
85cm each
You can also just put your table against a wall.
+goshensquash Nope, that is absolutely different.
I got the music stands from ebay.
It cost $165 AUD
@awesomdanz This Link are offline :-(
$20 each i think
Awesome DIY returning board I've ever seen that changes my mind. First I intended to buy a returning board at wallyrebounder_com. Now I'm going to build one like yours & hope the final cost is about 1/2 or less than. Thanks a lot for video & clear & easy-to-follow procedure . Well done, awesomdanz!
@fishing4living I also got the boards from ebay. w w w.ebay.com.au/itm/Professional-Heavy-Duty-Music-Sheet-Stand-Black-/260874282879?pt=AU_Instrument_Accessories&hash=item3cbd51a77f
