Editor's Notes
October 14, 2020:
Anyone looking for a table top conversion kit for playing ping pong is probably short on space, so although most of our choices are regulation size options, we did include a few more compact choices for tight spaces.
The Hathaway Maverick and the Viper Portable are both smaller than regulation, and also have other gaming options, making them a great choice for a children's play area, or casual players living in a small home.
While the East Point Foldable is one of our tournament-sized selections, it probably won't be a great pick for a serious player, as it folds into four sections, leaving a seam down the center of the court, but it's also offered at a much lower price.
For the update we added the Stiga Duo, which provides the regulation playing surface while fitting over smaller 7 and 8 foot pool tables. It's also a great choice for the steel stiffeners in the center to prevent sagging.

Included the Joola Top and Dazadi Harvil due to their sturdy playing surfaces and extra padding. Also added the unique Hathaway Maverick as a cost-effective alternative to keeping separate pool and table tennis structures in a small gaming room. Locking connection system of the Martin Kilpatrick facilitates a quick setup.
