My table tennis table gets worse and worse. One side is sagging downwards and one side is sorta has a bump. It's no longer even and looks like a wave. Even the ball bounces weirdly.
Does anyone know a solution to this problem? I've temporarily fixed it by putting some heavy bags on it after folding it, but i'm pretty sure it'll happen again.
I'm also deciding on buying a "Stiga Thunder Outdoor" but that's pretty expensive... What should I do?

Simple, you have 2 options (well actually more but we will discuss 2) 1. get a new table (duh, I know) 2. Go to hardware store and get a sheet of 3/4in particle board and cut it to the exact dimensions of your table ea side. Then glue the table top to the the particle board so that the particle board is under your old top. This will strengthen the top and keep it from warping. Regular yellow Elmers wood glue should suffice. Put some weight on the two pieces so that they bond well and re-mount the tops to the table and whoa la you have a flat playing surface.

make sure it has at the very least a 3/4 inch thick top.
