“SpinLord” is more than just another table tennis brand.
The brand was founded by Mark Köhler at the end of 2002 and remains in his ownership to this day. From the outset, it was a mail-order business specialising exclusively in table tennis equipment and operating without a high-street shop. After spending many years in rural Swisttal, the company has been based in Bornheim near Bonn since 2013.
Like almost all online retailers at the time, we started by selling via eBay in our founding year. However, we soon shifted our focus to selling via our own catalogue and, increasingly, via our own website. After a few years, we ceased selling on eBay altogether. Our last product catalogue was published in 2017, and since then we have conducted all sales to consumers exclusively via this website.
We have been importing products directly from China since 2004. In the years that followed, we considerably expanded the distribution of brands from China.
In 2009, Mark Köhler founded the ‘SpinLord’ brand and began developing his own products. As well as selling directly to consumers in Germany, we have also been supplying many retailers abroad ever since. SpinLord now offers almost the entire range of table tennis products, the vast majority of which are genuine in-house innovations rather than OEM products.
In 2018, we finally completed our new ttdd.eu online shop, which has since grown rapidly and will continue to be developed.
In 2026, we relaunched our SpinLord website. You can see the result here. This website will also be developed in our spare time.
Some of the basic ideas behind SpinLord and ttdd.de:
1. Quality comes first.
2. Affordable prices.
3. We focus on B2C in Germany and B2B in all other countries.
4. We invest in the most advanced IT infrastructure. We have developed our own order processing software, enabling us to ship orders faster and more efficiently than other table tennis companies. It also enables us to process orders with fewer staff than our competitors.
5. In return, we do not engage in any traditional advertising or marketing.
Overall, we are not cheaper than others because the quality is worse. We are cheaper, yet the quality is better, thanks to an innovative concept that is unique in the world of table tennis.
