Table Tennis - General Reviews

To play table tennis (which by the way is an Olympic sport) you need a table divided by a Net and two or four players who use a raquet to hit back a hollow ball. The ball needs to be hit back in the other half of the table. If the player fails to do this, a point is awarded to his opponent. Normally a game is played until one of the 2 ...

Table tennis in fact originated from England as an after-dinner amusement for upper-class Victorians in the late 1880s. It is a fabulous sport and I love playing it. The down side is that it doesn't give you much exercise and is really quite hard to find a club where you can play table tennis. However, from around £250 you can buy your very own ...

Table Tennis is miniature version of Tennis. Tennis is played on a ground surface court, table tennis is played on a table, and a small net divides the areas of two players or teams. The ball used is small and shallow from inside. It only weighs 2.7 gram and 40 mm (formerly 38 mm) in diameter. The players use small paddle like rackets ...

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 ...

The origin of table tennis has never been exactly pinpointed, even though it's a relatively young sport, younger than lawn tennis and not much older than basketball. The earliest known form of the sport, called indoor tennis, was played in the early 1880s by British army officers in India and South Africa, using lids from cigar boxes ...

My first memories of Table Tennis were in the late forties when I was given a Table Tennis set for Xmas. The large box contained a net and two fixing brackets, two balls and two bats, which, as it was just after the war, had something like sandpaper instead of the pimpled rubber that we get now. The opened out dining room table served pretty well ...

I have been a table tennis player for 7 years now, and I can honestly say it is the best game I have ever played. Even from the early days as a begginner to now, when I am a serious player in the local Senior league I have found it to be fun, and exhuasting. Many people assume as the space of play is so small that you can not get tired ...

I am a table tennis player, does this mean i wear glasses, play no other sports, stay glued to my t.v. for any mention of Star Trek, squeal at the mention of girls and hate the thought of ever going out? The aswer is no. Why is there this stereotype that table tennis is sad? Table tennis can be exciting, captivating and enthrawling to watch. The ...

I have been playing table tennis since primary school. In fact I represented my primary school (what a history) to attend a competition in my country. I love sports. However, I am short (not suitable for basketball), not fit enough (not suitable for football, badminton, squash and swimming) and so on, so I have chosen table tennis. I am not saying ...
