Killerspin’s new table series, UnPlugNPlay provides the latest in ping pong table innovation, while still having the necessary components which lead to a high-quality game of ping pong. For this piece, we will provide the complete Killerspin unPlugNPlay 415 Mega review, which is a slight upgrade to the standard UnPlugNPlay 415 – due to the increased tabletop thickness.

The only real upgrade which this table has on the UnPlugNPlay 415, is the fact that the tabletop is thicker – everything else in the table is very similar, if not – the same.

Please note this table has 2 color options: DeepBlu, which is a navy blue with black lines, and Deep Chocolate, which is a neat black color – this option is also slightly more expensive. Both tables have black legs.

If interested, we’ve written a full table tennis table buyers guide here, which may help you in determining which table suits your home the best.

Table top

An 18mm thick tabletop provides good bounce for recreational play and is the regulation size for a high-end home table. This table thickness should lead to some high-quality games at home. However, if you’re playing more advanced ping pong, you may want to consider a tabletop thickness of 25mm – the UnPlugNPlay Max offers this thickness.

The tabletop is protected by a scuff-resistant UV finish which protects the surface from ball marks and chipping.

If you’re looking to go all the way with tabletop thickness, check out the 25mm Killerspin UnPlugNPlay 415 Max, or the Butterfly Centrefold 25.

Assemble time

One slight defect of the UnPlugNPlay 415 Mega is that you will have to assemble the table yourself. This process is made easier by using the BILT application, which gives a step-by-step guide to building your table.

This can be made into an exciting activity with the family, as you’re building a table which is going to provide years of fun.

Storage

The folding design makes it easy to store the table when not in use. Both halves of the table fold into one another and can fit into a tight space. The lighter weight of the tabletop means one person is capable of packing the table away.

Locking caster wheels on each half of the table ensures the table is secure in the storage position.

Playback functionality

The UnPlugNPlay 415 Mega has full playback functionality and is achieved by folding up one half of the table into the storage position and leaving the one half in the normal play position.

This allows players to practice long hours when there isn’t a friendly rival up for a game.

Wheels

Each half of the table has 4 locking caster wheels, making transport safe and comfortable. These wheels each have a lock, meaning the UnPlugNPlay 415 Mega is secure and stable in storage or during a match.

Having a solid wheel system is vital to the free-flowing, easy mobility of your table.

Height levelers

4 built-in adjustable height levelers ensure that the games are played on a perfectly level surface at all times.

Sometimes, the table may not be set up on a perfectly flat surface, which will lead to an uneven and inconsistent bounce. Having height levelers helps adjust in these environments.

Net system

Killerspin has included their premium screw-on net and post system, which means you won’t need to go looking for a new net anytime soon.

This screw-on net provides the ultimate stability and rigidity, and you’ll seldom need to tighten the net during games.

Ball/paddle storage

Each side of the tabletop can store up to 8 balls, making games go smooth as ever.

On the side of the tabletop, where the player stands, there is a built-in paddle holder for each opposite side. These holders can store up to 2 paddles each.

Essentially, one half is for ping pong balls, and the other is for paddles.

The brand

Killerspin is becoming one of the fastest-growing brands in table tennis. They are one of the newer brands, but the quality and innovation in their products is undeniable.
