Hi,

If you're interested in making your own return board, here's a basic guide to help you get started: Materials you'll need: - A large plywood board, at least half-inch thick for stability (the size can vary, but a standard size could be around 5 feet by 3 feet to give you a satisfactory returning surface) - Rubber sheets (the type used on table tennis rackets; these can be bought online or at a sports store) - Glue to attach the rubber to the plywood board - Support to prop the board up at an angle (such as wooden sawhorses or a metal stand).

Return Boards are very limited with their ability to help you train.  I have tried a few and found that they don't really reward a good stroke because if you put topspin on the ball the ball will often fly off your end of the table so it encourages you to hit the ball flat and help the ball come back to you.

Others may have information about where to get a good one or more eon making one for yourself.
