Meet the Business Owner

Amanda H.

Business Owner

At the age of six years old, Owner/​Coach Amanda Ho launched her passion for ping pong at a specialized school for table tennis in Zhong Shao, China. As a young adult, she played on the Canton Team and later on the Hong Kong Team from 1977−−81.

After emigrating to the U.S., Amanda wanted to bring table tennis to the next level for kids and adults alike and opened AMD Training Center for Table Tennis in 2004. Here, students can take table tennis from game level to sport level through individual or group instruction. Amanda takes pride in teaching her students techniques and strategy to taking their game to another level.

Amanda also was instrumental in designing a line of table tennis robots and is now distributed in domestic U.S. under the AMDT Robot label.

top notch! we rented a table from AMDT Ping Pong for our ping pong demo before the screening of our documentary, Top Spin. the table was in excellent shape and delivery was right on time. Amanda and her team went out of their way to make our event a huge success. we’re very grateful and highly recommend them for all your ping pong needs.

I wish they can be a little more organized by running the tournament of 3÷15÷2015. I was playing the under 2100 event. The tournament round robin which is started at 10-​am, that was fine and we were done by 11-​am with group of 3 player. I was waiting and waiting for hours for the next match, look at the clock and it was 2:45 pm already, that is almost 4 hours after the round robin, my strategy was totally cool off, and I have to stay there and wait for name to be called. There’s 4 person operating the front desk. I went up there 3 times and asked if my name was called. The answer was (NO) for 3 times. I was running out of patience and about to leave this place, one last tried and went up there, then they check and said I’m OK to play. Wtf.
I had a very bad experience with this tournament.

Came here for a company team event. It’s a fantastic value, but once you arrive you’ll see why — the ping pong center is located in the back of a convenience store. The store sells lots of great ping pong accessories, including blades and rubber, as well as food and drink. The tables are nice, but in relatively small quarters with insufficient room for a true ping pong match. They also lack a bathroom for customers. I’ll be back, but I wouldn’t schedule any team outings here.

I’ve been taking ping pong coaching lessons at AMDT for about two months now. I’m an aspiring ping pong player who has participated in 3 tournaments. I decided to up my game by taking ping pong lessons from coach Amanda. I must say, the lessons were very effective. She corrected my hand movements and body posture. When in a ping pong match, my movements are very fluid. I highly recommend this place for anyone who wants to improve their game. They also have a good selection of ping pong equipment.

I went there for the first time yesterday, and I was completely surprised to find so much in the store. It’s a ping pong player’s heaven. The man who served me was very courteous. I am happy that I found this place.

An excellent brick & mortar store for the table tennis enthusiast!
I decided to visit this place on a whim as in downtown SF and just wanted to see their inventory as well as some kids playing on the table.
Unfortunately when I went in, no one was playing.
The shop is small, but with an extensive variety of gear.
From pre-​assembled rackets to custom high end, they have it all.
The owner, a very friendly woman who is also a table tennis coach was very helpful in assisting me with the purchase a new racket.
The prices are a bit more expensive than purchasing online (not by much though), but you get very friendly and informative service. Worth every dollar I think.
I’m looking forward to my next visit.

The only real Ping Pong shop in SF, with a great Joola table in the back. Great place to re-​up on cleaners, buy new rubber, blades, etc. Support your local Table Tennis shop and help keep the dream alive!

This place is pretty great. Its a really small hidden shop that specializes in table tennis. Terrible name, almost kept me from going and understanding what they do.
They have a ton of equipment and a table there that you can rent time with the robot.
It may be the only place of its kind in SF.

Finally made it down here to try out their robot. I love this place! Try renting 30 mins on the AMDT robot in oscillation mode. It is one serious workout.
$ 1150. Yeah, a fair amount of coin for the robot. But when you consider what it is capable of (no-​spin balls using dual-​wheel head), it actually is a flippin bargain! I want one, arggghh!
They carry a full inventory of pro table tennis gear for the serious player as well as starter stuff. But clearly, they cater towards those who play table tennis, not ping pong. Sorry beer pong players. No dixie cups for sale here.

Who’s up for Table Tennis?!
This place is awesome. It’s small and sometimes both their tables are taken. But you can always call ahead to make a reservation.
This place has one ping pong table and a robot table. For the robot, you basically pay by the time you want to play. For tables are very cheap.
The store also offers all kinds of equipment for table tennis and I believe it is also a distributor of robot table tennis.
You may have walked by there some time and noticed a bunch of kids playing during a tournament or after school. Don’t be put off by it. Just call ahead or go during school hours. It’s lots of fun.
