The 25 mm thick MDF table top with good supportive undercarriage construction can deliver the best for your home. Another good thing is that you can get this table at a reasonable price which is quite less than the top-quality premium tables of other brands.

JOOLA Tour 2500: Review

Table Technologies

  1. The tabletop thickness is 25 mm (1”), the maximum for any standard table. This thick MDF tabletop gives true and accurate bounce which is the most desirable aspect of any table tennis table.
  2. The tabletop is well supported by a sturdy 2” powder-coated steel frame. 
  3. This JOOLA Tour table consists of two separate halves. Again each table half has a separate trolley that rests on four 4” caster wheels. 
  4. Four 2” square black powder-coated steel legs provide rigidity and strength. One advantageous feature is that you can manually adjust the table height by rotating the leveler provided at the end of each leg. The rubber levelers also keep your floor free from scratches.

Portability and Easy Assembly

Nested table halves for compact storage
  1. Each separate table half can be easily folded and joined to form a compact nested table. It is easy either to store each single table half separately or glide the nested table to the desired location for storage.

Storage Dimensions:

  • Height: 63”
  • Width: 63”
  • Length: 24”
  1. The Tour 2500 comes in a 95% pre-assembled condition. Only you have to attach the separate steel legs with pre-assembled table halves which hardly takes 20-25 minutes.

Safety Features

  1. The edge of each corner is covered to protect your children during play.
  2. Each caster wheel also has an arrangement for locking to keep the table stable during storage or play.
  3. The spring-loaded safety latches underneath the table fix the table at an upright position. This safety feature prevents accidents by opening the table half unexpectedly.

Other Features

  1. You can fold one-half of the table and practice by rebounding the ball against the vertical surface. This is a great feature to keep practicing when you are alone.
  2. The auto-folding nature of the legs makes the assembly and storage work easy for you.
  3. The table comes with a 72″ tournament-grade net with a proper tensioning arrangement. It is easy to put on the net by screwing it against the table.

Positives of JOOLA Tour 2500

  1. 1” thick quality tabletop for true and uniform bounce
  2. Sturdy and durable
  3. Auto-foldable legs
  4. Compact storage
  5. Playback facility
  6. Minimum assembly time (Approx. 15 minutes)
  7. The facility of manual height adjustment
  8. Affordable
  9. A well-reputed brand like JOOLA

Negatives of JOOLA Tour 2500

  1. It would be better to have bigger wheels for easier transportation of the heavy table.
  2. Access to paddle and ball holders would be an added advantage.
