Master The Table Tennis Game


Also known as ping pong, Table tennis is an indoor game that is played by two or sometimes four players that hit a very small, light ball back and forth using bats. The surface used to play the game is usually raised to the height of a normal table and is made of wood. A net divides the table into two sided and these depict the different sides where the two players or four incase of a doubles match play from. The game is played in the Olympics and is played all over the world and has different competitions.

The table used in table tennis has specific measurements. Its height from the floor has to be 72cm, its width 152.5cm and its length 274cm and the net's height is 15.25cm. The bat used to hit the ball is usually covered with a thin sheet of rubber but is made of wood. There are regulations in place that stipulate requirements about the bats, the table, the net and the rules of the game. To get a clear picture of what these stipulations are it is wise to get hold of a ping pong instructional DVD that has laid out all the necessary details.

To master table tennis, playing skills and tips are better learnt and put into use. For instance, the game is started by a serve. This is the start of a point which you are awarded should your opponent fail to correctly return or toss the ball back to your side of the netting. The ball should be hit in such a way that it should bounce twice, once on your side of the netting and the other in the other player's side.

If the ball being served hit the net but proceeds to the other half, it is called a net-in or let. This necessitates that the serve be repeated. However if the ball hits the net and remains in the half of the server, it is a lost serve and the opponent if then given the chance to serve.

A point is earned when the server serves the ball and the opponent faults. Other recognized faults include if the ball bounces more than once on the same side, hitting the ball twice, if the ball does not land on the opponent's half once it is served among others. Further tips and instructions may be found in table tennis DVD.
