New Ratings website: Table Tennis Database (1)

New Ratings website: Table Tennis Database
by PPGEAR 16 years ago


The following message (subject: New Ratings website: Table Tennis Database) was posted by PPGEAR, on 3/25/2008 12:42:25 AM:

We are pleased to announce a new website, the Table Tennis Database (www.tabletennisdb.com). It is a full-featured ratings and reviews site for table tennis equipment, aiming to become the most comprehensive database of all table tennis equipment and players (eventually including even sponges and tables).
This is a ratings site that lets you leave your own ratings and reviews of rubbers, blades and pips. All of the collective ratings are averaged to give you a good comparison of ratings across different brands! It is a great place to look when shopping for new equipment.
This website was a collaborative effort of Cole Ely (www.colestt.com), Haggisv (www.oneofakindtrading.com.au) and PPGEAR (www.ppgear.com) that has taken months of planning and development.

Features

See screenshots at the bottom.
1. Ratings and Reviews of Equipment from the table tennis community. Even view a specific user’s ratings/reviews together to get a consistent comparison (no more having to wait for “critical mass” before you can trust ratings)
2. Your own Profile where you can post a picture, your rating, playing style, grip, and what equipment you’re using. Show off your racket! Also list your tournament victories (1st place to 4th place)
3. Easy-to-use Web 2.0 Interface that looks great and is easy to use. All complicated terminology is also explained with helpful mini pop-ups so you can understand the ratings better.
4. Comprehensive database of information – this site will be your source to look up all details about equipment, players, and even the manufacturers (eventually)
5. Buying information – you can see a list of online retailers to find the best place to buy your next paddle.
6. Forum – to discuss equipment, coaching tips, videos, and anything that’s on your mind!
