Advantages: Good exercise

Disadvantages: You need space for the table

Tabel tennis is also known as Ping pong.

It is now an Olympic sport, mainly due to lobbying from the Chinese, who excel in this game.

It is not very clear what the origin of the game are, however, it is fair to say that the modern version, with a hollow ball which is being bounced from one side to the other of the table, goes back to the beginning of the 20th Century and it was originally in the USA that the game was developped.

A table to play this game needs space, it is hardly the table you can leave in your bedroom or dining room, but if you have agarden, then you should be fine. 300 pounds will buy you a good table withthe net and the raquets for 2 people.

The rules are the same as tennis, however, you are not meant nor allowed to touch the table with any part of your body.

Having played both table tennis and tennis, I find them quite different sports, the skills of one are not the same as the other, and I personally find that table tennis is more intense.

Summary: Good game
