Hi this is Scott for Expert Village. We are going to be talking about ping pong tonight. We'll talk about equipment first. You can go to any store, hardware store or sporting goods store. They'll usually have ping pong equipment, and as long as you have a table, there's all kinds of tables you can buy from professional to just a piece of plywood with a couple of clamps on it if you got desperate. You can usually get a table, reasonably priced, for maybe 200 dollars. You can go to Wal-Mart or a sporting goods place; usually Wal-Mart is going to have one of the cheaper brands or models. So you're going to want, obviously, to start with a table. The net you're going to go ahead and adjust as you put it onto the table. You're just going to make sure that it's taught across the top. There's not too much to it, you've got a couple of screws to screw it on. Just follow the manual and the instructions, and you should be good.
