Setup The Two Tripods
Spread the tripod legs apart to the point where they reach their maximum
circumference using the bottom tripod knob to loosen or lock the legs in place.
Next, use the height adjustment knob on the tripod to raise the top of the tripod
with the control knob to about 8 inches above the surface of the table. You can
adjust the height more later, but this is a good starting point. Locate the tripods
at the back of the table and roughly the width of the board apart from each
other.
Attach The Board
Hold the board horizontally as you screw the control knob into the metal bracket on the
back of the board. It is important that you support the board so that the bolt goes in
cleanly with minimal torque on this joint. If you prefer, you can rest the board on the
corner of the table (as shown) for this particular step. Repeat for the tripod with the
control lever and once the lever is in place, you can use it to tighten the board into an
upright position. The round control knob can be left finger tight while the control lever
can be quickly loosened and tightened to lock the board into position. The lever itself can
also be easily rotated to a new position without loosening the board by pulling it out to
disengage the bolt head, rotating it, and then re-engaging the bolt head.
It is important that the board is stable and not rocking at the stands. If there is a wobble either raise or
lower the height of the board on one side or square up the legs at the floor by moving or rotating them.
Each side of the board should be at the same height. The board should be parallel with the floor.
Position The Board Behind The Table
Once the board is securely connected to the tripods, you can lift the whole
assembly and place the board directly behind your table as shown. Use the
control lever to tilt the rebound board slightly forward toward the player.
This is the default starting position, but you will adjust this angle depending
on how much speed and spin you are using in your stroke.
We recommend you place the board directly behind the table if you are just starting out. As you
progress, you can position the board diagonally at the corners of the table or place it further back from
your table for more advance play.
Adjust the Board Height
Adjust the height by holding a tripod with one hand and with the other hand loosen
height adjustment knob. This generally works best by adjusting one tripod up or down an
inch or so and then repeating for the other tripod until you reach the desired height.
