A table tennis specialist shop on Great North Road in New Lynn, run by Rodney Bygrave and his partner Julia Zhu. Rodney has played table tennis since 1976 and still plays at Waitemata, North Harbour and Auckland clubs, and the shop was set up to sell a wide range of gear and to bring more people into the sport.
The shop stocks rackets, blades, rubbers, balls, tables, robots, shoes and clothing. Players can order a ready-made racket, or build one by choosing a blade and a pair of rubbers, usually black and red, though colour choice depends on the rubber. Anyone who already has a blade can send it in to have rubbers fitted. Some bookings can be done after hours. Clubs and schools can get discounts on bulk table orders, and the shop ships across New Zealand.
Customers praise the help with choosing equipment, the pointers they get on their game, and the value. One buyer said the shop's delivery beat the delivery fees at Rebel Sports and The Warehouse. Current prices from the website, as at 2026, include the Butterfly Tenergy 05 rubber at $125 and the Y&T V-989E robot at $1,300.
The shop is at 3087 Great North Road, New Lynn, in west Auckland. Our pick in west Auckland for a player who wants advice as well as the gear.
