Table-tennis
• Table tennis, also known as ping-pong.
- is a sport in which two or four players hit a
lightweight, hollow ball back and forth using table tennis
rackets. The game takes place on a hard table divided by a
net. Except for the initial serve, players must allow a ball
played toward them only one bounce on their side of the
table and must return it so that it bounces on the opposite
side. Points are scored when a player fails to return the ball
within the rules. Play is fast and demands quick reactions.
A skilled player can impart several varieties of spin to the
ball, altering its trajectory and limiting an opponent's
options to great advantage.
• Britain during the 1880s, where it was played among the upper-class as an
after-dinner parlour game. It has been suggested that the game was first
developed by British military officers in India or South Africa who brought it
back with them. A row of books were stood up along the center of the table as
a net, two more books served as rackets and were used to continuously hit a
golf-ball from one end of the table to the other. Alternatively table tennis was
played with paddles made of cigar box lids and balls made of champagne
corks. The popularity of the game led game manufacturers to sell the
equipment commercially. Early rackets were often pieces
of parchment stretched upon a frame, and the sound generated in play gave
the game its first nicknames of "wiff-waff" and "ping-pong". A number of
sources indicate that the game was first brought to the attention of Hamley's
of Regent Street under the name "Gossima". The name "ping-pong" was in
wide use before British manufacturer J. Jaques & Son Ltd trademarked it in
1901. The name "ping-pong" then came to be used for the game played by
the rather expensive Jaques's equipment, with other manufacturers calling it
table tennis. A similar situation arose in the United States, where Jaques sold
the rights to the "ping-pong" name to Parker Brothers.
Table-tennis
The international rules specify that the
game is played with a light 2.7 gram, 40 mm
diameter ball. The rules say that the ball shall
bounce up 24–26 cm when dropped from a
height of 30.5 cm on to a standard steel block
thereby having a coefficient of restitution of 0.89
to 0.92. The 40 mm ball was introduced after the
2000 Olympic Games. However, this created
some controversy as the Chinese National
Team argued that this was merely to give non-
Chinese players a better chance of winning
since the new type of balls has a slower speed,
while at that time most Chinese players were
playing with fast attack and smashes. A 40 mm
table tennis ball is slower and spins less than
the original 38 mm (1.5 inch) one. The ball is
made of a high-bouncing air-filled celluloid or
similar plastics material, colored white or
orange, with a matte finish. The choice of ball
color is made according to the table color and its
• The table is 2.74 m (9 ft) long, 1.52 m (5 ft) wide, and
76 cm (30 inch) high with a Masonite (a type of
hardboard) or similarly manufactured timber, layered with
a smooth, low-frictioncoating. The table or playing surface
is divided into two halves by a 15.25 cm (6 inch) high net.
An ITTF approved table surface must be in a green or
blue color. Concrete tables with a steel net are sometimes
available in public parks.
Table-tennis
• Players are equipped with a laminated wooden racket covered with
rubber on one or two sides depending on the grip of the player. The
official ITTF term is "racket", though "bat" is common in Britain, and
"paddle" in the U.S.
• The wooden portion of the racket, often referred to as the "blade",
commonly features anywhere between one and seven plies of wood,
though cork, glass fiber, carbon fiber, aluminum fiber, and Kevlar are
sometimes used. According to the ITTF regulations, at least 85% of
the blade by thickness shall be of natural wood. Common wood types
include Balsa, Limba, and Cypress or "Hinoki," which is popular in
Japan. The average size of the blade is about 6.5 inches (16.5 cm)
long and 6 inches (15 cm) wide. Although the official restrictions only
focus on the flatness and rigidness of the blade itself, these
dimensions are optimal for most play styles.
• Table tennis regulations allow different surfaces on each side of the
racket. Various types of surfaces provide various levels of spin or
speed, and in some cases they nullify spin. For example, a player
may have a rubber that provides much spin on one side of his racket,
and one that provides no spin on the other. By flipping the racket in
play, different types of returns are possible. To help a player
distinguish between the rubber used by his opposing player,
international rules specify that one side must be red while the other
side must be black. The player has the right to inspect his opponent's
racket before a match to see the type of rubber used and what color
it is. Despite high speed play and rapid exchanges, a player can see
clearly what side of the racket was used to hit the ball. Current rules
state that, unless damaged in play, the racket cannot be exchanged
for another racket at any time during a match.
Table-tennis
• A direct hit on the ball propelling it forward back to the
opponent. This stroke differs from speed drives in other
racket sports like tennis because the racket is
primarily perpendicular to the direction of the stroke and
most of the energy applied to the ball results
in speed rather than spin, creating a shot that does not
arc much, but is fast enough that it can be difficult to
return. A speed drive is used mostly for keeping the ball
in play, applying pressure on the opponent, and
potentially opening up an opportunity for a more powerful
attack.
- Perfected during the 1960s, the loop is essentially the reverse of the
speed drive. The racket is much more parallel to the direction of the
stroke ("closed") and the racket thus grazes the ball, resulting in a
large amount of topspin. A good loop drive will arc quite a bit, and once
striking the opponent's side of the table will jump forward, much like a
kick serve in tennis. A loop drive might not be as difficult to return as a
speed drive; however, because of its topspin, it is more likely to
rebound off the opponent's racket at a very high angle, setting up an
easy smash on the follow-up. As the loop drive requires a lot of
topspin, players generally use their entire body to generate the
movement required. Variations in spin and speed add to the
effectiveness of this shot.
• The counter-drive is usually a counterattack
against drives, normally high loop drives. The
racket is held closed and near to the ball, which
is hit with a short movement "off the bounce"
(immediately after hitting the table) so that the
ball travels faster to the other side. A well-timed,
accurate counter-drive can be as effective as a
smash.
• When a player tries to attack a ball that has not bounced
beyond the edge of the table, the player does not have
the room to wind up in a backswing. The ball may still be
attacked, however, and the resulting shot is called a flick
because the backswing is compressed into a quick wrist
action. A flick is not a single stroke and can resemble
either a drive or a loop in its characteristics. What
identifies the stroke is the backswing is compressed into
a short wrist flick.
• The offensive trump card is the smash. A player will typically execute a smash when
his or her opponent has returned a ball that bounces too high or too close to the net.
• Smashing is essentially self-explanatory—large backswing and rapid acceleration
imparting as much speed on the ball as possible. The goal of a smash is to get the ball
to move so quickly that the opponent simply cannot return it. Because the ball speed
is the main aim of this shot, often the spin on the ball is something other than topspin.
Sidespin can be used effectively with a smash to alter the ball's trajectory significantly,
although most intermediate players will smash the ball with little or no spin.
• An offensive table tennis player will think of a rally as a build-up to a winning smash;
only a calculated series of smashes can guarantee a point against a good opponent.
However, most players will be able to return at most one or two smashes consistently.
Provided that the opponent is not too close to the table or too far away from the ball, a
smash can be lobbed, chopped, blocked or even counter-looped, albeit with some
difficulty. A player who smashes generally works out a series of smashes (and
possibly drop-shots) to rush the opponent out of position, put him off balance, or both.
Smashers who fail to do this find it difficult to win a point against an excellent defense.
Table-tennis
The push (or "slice" in Asia) is usually used for keeping
the point alive and creating offensive opportunities. A push
resembles a tennis slice: the racket cuts underneath the
ball, imparting backspin and causing the ball to float slowly
to the other side of the table. While not obvious, a push can
be difficult to attack because the backspin on the ball causes
it to drop toward the table upon striking the opponent's
racket. In order to attack a push, a player must usually loop
the ball back over the net. Often, the best option for
beginners is to simply push the ball back again, resulting in
pushing rallies. Against good players, it may be the worst
option because the opponent will counter with a loop, putting
the first player in a defensive position. Another response to
pushing is flipping the ball when it is close to the net.
Pushing can have advantages in some circumstances, such
as when the opponent makes easy mistakes.
• A chop is the defensive, backspin counterpart to the offensive loop
drive. A chop is essentially a bigger, heavier push, taken well back
from the table. The racket face points primarily horizontally, perhaps
a little bit upward, and the direction of the stroke is straight down.
The object of a defensive chop is to match the topspin of the
opponent's shot with backspin. A good chop will float nearly
horizontally back to the table, in some cases having so much
backspin that the ball actually rises. Such a chop can
be extremely difficult to return due to its enormous amount of
backspin. Some defensive players can also impart no-spin or
sidespin variations of the chop.
The block is a simple shot, but nonetheless can be
devastating against an attacking opponent. A block is
executed by simply placing the racket in front of the ball
right after the ball bounces; thus, the ball rebounds back
toward the opponent with nearly as much energy as it
came in with. This is not as easy as it sounds, because the
ball's spin, speed, and location all influence the correct
angle of a block. It is very possible for an opponent to
execute a perfect loop, drive, or smash, only to have the
blocked shot come back at him just as fast. Due to the
power involved in offensive strokes, often an opponent
simply cannot recover quickly enough, and will be unable to
return the blocked shot. Blocks almost always produce the
same spin as was received, usually topspin.
• The defensive lob is possibly the most impressive shot, since
it propels the ball about five metres in height, only to land on
the opponent's side of the table with great amounts of spin. To
execute, a defensive player first backs-off the table 4–6
meters; then, the stroke itself consists of lifting the ball to an
enormous height before it falls back to the opponent's side of
the table. A lob is inherently a creative shot, and can have
nearly any kind of spin. Top-quality players use this to their
advantage in order to control the spin of the ball. For instance,
though the opponent may smash the ball hard and fast, a
good defensive lob could be more difficult to return due to the
unpredictability and heavy amounts of the spin on the
ball. Thus, though backed off the table by tens of feet and
running to reach the ball, a good defensive player can still win
the point using good lobs. However, at the professional level,
lobbers will lose the point most of the time, so the lob is not
used unless it is really necessary.

• The shakehands grip - generally favoured by Western
players and is so named because you hold the paddle as if ready to
perform a handshake.
• A slight variation on this is the Seemiller grip which was pioneered by
America's Danny Seemiller.
• The penhold grip - popular among players from Asia, is so
named because you hold the paddle as you would a pen.
• Traditionally, penhold players use only one side of the paddle,
however, the Chinese have developed a new technique where both
sides of the paddle are used (the reverse penhold backhand).

Table-tennis

  • 2. • Table tennis, also known as ping-pong. - is a sport in which two or four players hit a lightweight, hollow ball back and forth using table tennis rackets. The game takes place on a hard table divided by a net. Except for the initial serve, players must allow a ball played toward them only one bounce on their side of the table and must return it so that it bounces on the opposite side. Points are scored when a player fails to return the ball within the rules. Play is fast and demands quick reactions. A skilled player can impart several varieties of spin to the ball, altering its trajectory and limiting an opponent's options to great advantage.
  • 3. • Britain during the 1880s, where it was played among the upper-class as an after-dinner parlour game. It has been suggested that the game was first developed by British military officers in India or South Africa who brought it back with them. A row of books were stood up along the center of the table as a net, two more books served as rackets and were used to continuously hit a golf-ball from one end of the table to the other. Alternatively table tennis was played with paddles made of cigar box lids and balls made of champagne corks. The popularity of the game led game manufacturers to sell the equipment commercially. Early rackets were often pieces of parchment stretched upon a frame, and the sound generated in play gave the game its first nicknames of "wiff-waff" and "ping-pong". A number of sources indicate that the game was first brought to the attention of Hamley's of Regent Street under the name "Gossima". The name "ping-pong" was in wide use before British manufacturer J. Jaques & Son Ltd trademarked it in 1901. The name "ping-pong" then came to be used for the game played by the rather expensive Jaques's equipment, with other manufacturers calling it table tennis. A similar situation arose in the United States, where Jaques sold the rights to the "ping-pong" name to Parker Brothers.
  • 5. The international rules specify that the game is played with a light 2.7 gram, 40 mm diameter ball. The rules say that the ball shall bounce up 24–26 cm when dropped from a height of 30.5 cm on to a standard steel block thereby having a coefficient of restitution of 0.89 to 0.92. The 40 mm ball was introduced after the 2000 Olympic Games. However, this created some controversy as the Chinese National Team argued that this was merely to give non- Chinese players a better chance of winning since the new type of balls has a slower speed, while at that time most Chinese players were playing with fast attack and smashes. A 40 mm table tennis ball is slower and spins less than the original 38 mm (1.5 inch) one. The ball is made of a high-bouncing air-filled celluloid or similar plastics material, colored white or orange, with a matte finish. The choice of ball color is made according to the table color and its
  • 6. • The table is 2.74 m (9 ft) long, 1.52 m (5 ft) wide, and 76 cm (30 inch) high with a Masonite (a type of hardboard) or similarly manufactured timber, layered with a smooth, low-frictioncoating. The table or playing surface is divided into two halves by a 15.25 cm (6 inch) high net. An ITTF approved table surface must be in a green or blue color. Concrete tables with a steel net are sometimes available in public parks.
  • 8. • Players are equipped with a laminated wooden racket covered with rubber on one or two sides depending on the grip of the player. The official ITTF term is "racket", though "bat" is common in Britain, and "paddle" in the U.S. • The wooden portion of the racket, often referred to as the "blade", commonly features anywhere between one and seven plies of wood, though cork, glass fiber, carbon fiber, aluminum fiber, and Kevlar are sometimes used. According to the ITTF regulations, at least 85% of the blade by thickness shall be of natural wood. Common wood types include Balsa, Limba, and Cypress or "Hinoki," which is popular in Japan. The average size of the blade is about 6.5 inches (16.5 cm) long and 6 inches (15 cm) wide. Although the official restrictions only focus on the flatness and rigidness of the blade itself, these dimensions are optimal for most play styles.
  • 9. • Table tennis regulations allow different surfaces on each side of the racket. Various types of surfaces provide various levels of spin or speed, and in some cases they nullify spin. For example, a player may have a rubber that provides much spin on one side of his racket, and one that provides no spin on the other. By flipping the racket in play, different types of returns are possible. To help a player distinguish between the rubber used by his opposing player, international rules specify that one side must be red while the other side must be black. The player has the right to inspect his opponent's racket before a match to see the type of rubber used and what color it is. Despite high speed play and rapid exchanges, a player can see clearly what side of the racket was used to hit the ball. Current rules state that, unless damaged in play, the racket cannot be exchanged for another racket at any time during a match.
  • 11. • A direct hit on the ball propelling it forward back to the opponent. This stroke differs from speed drives in other racket sports like tennis because the racket is primarily perpendicular to the direction of the stroke and most of the energy applied to the ball results in speed rather than spin, creating a shot that does not arc much, but is fast enough that it can be difficult to return. A speed drive is used mostly for keeping the ball in play, applying pressure on the opponent, and potentially opening up an opportunity for a more powerful attack.
  • 12. - Perfected during the 1960s, the loop is essentially the reverse of the speed drive. The racket is much more parallel to the direction of the stroke ("closed") and the racket thus grazes the ball, resulting in a large amount of topspin. A good loop drive will arc quite a bit, and once striking the opponent's side of the table will jump forward, much like a kick serve in tennis. A loop drive might not be as difficult to return as a speed drive; however, because of its topspin, it is more likely to rebound off the opponent's racket at a very high angle, setting up an easy smash on the follow-up. As the loop drive requires a lot of topspin, players generally use their entire body to generate the movement required. Variations in spin and speed add to the effectiveness of this shot.
  • 13. • The counter-drive is usually a counterattack against drives, normally high loop drives. The racket is held closed and near to the ball, which is hit with a short movement "off the bounce" (immediately after hitting the table) so that the ball travels faster to the other side. A well-timed, accurate counter-drive can be as effective as a smash.
  • 14. • When a player tries to attack a ball that has not bounced beyond the edge of the table, the player does not have the room to wind up in a backswing. The ball may still be attacked, however, and the resulting shot is called a flick because the backswing is compressed into a quick wrist action. A flick is not a single stroke and can resemble either a drive or a loop in its characteristics. What identifies the stroke is the backswing is compressed into a short wrist flick.
  • 15. • The offensive trump card is the smash. A player will typically execute a smash when his or her opponent has returned a ball that bounces too high or too close to the net. • Smashing is essentially self-explanatory—large backswing and rapid acceleration imparting as much speed on the ball as possible. The goal of a smash is to get the ball to move so quickly that the opponent simply cannot return it. Because the ball speed is the main aim of this shot, often the spin on the ball is something other than topspin. Sidespin can be used effectively with a smash to alter the ball's trajectory significantly, although most intermediate players will smash the ball with little or no spin. • An offensive table tennis player will think of a rally as a build-up to a winning smash; only a calculated series of smashes can guarantee a point against a good opponent. However, most players will be able to return at most one or two smashes consistently. Provided that the opponent is not too close to the table or too far away from the ball, a smash can be lobbed, chopped, blocked or even counter-looped, albeit with some difficulty. A player who smashes generally works out a series of smashes (and possibly drop-shots) to rush the opponent out of position, put him off balance, or both. Smashers who fail to do this find it difficult to win a point against an excellent defense.
  • 17. The push (or "slice" in Asia) is usually used for keeping the point alive and creating offensive opportunities. A push resembles a tennis slice: the racket cuts underneath the ball, imparting backspin and causing the ball to float slowly to the other side of the table. While not obvious, a push can be difficult to attack because the backspin on the ball causes it to drop toward the table upon striking the opponent's racket. In order to attack a push, a player must usually loop the ball back over the net. Often, the best option for beginners is to simply push the ball back again, resulting in pushing rallies. Against good players, it may be the worst option because the opponent will counter with a loop, putting the first player in a defensive position. Another response to pushing is flipping the ball when it is close to the net. Pushing can have advantages in some circumstances, such as when the opponent makes easy mistakes.
  • 18. • A chop is the defensive, backspin counterpart to the offensive loop drive. A chop is essentially a bigger, heavier push, taken well back from the table. The racket face points primarily horizontally, perhaps a little bit upward, and the direction of the stroke is straight down. The object of a defensive chop is to match the topspin of the opponent's shot with backspin. A good chop will float nearly horizontally back to the table, in some cases having so much backspin that the ball actually rises. Such a chop can be extremely difficult to return due to its enormous amount of backspin. Some defensive players can also impart no-spin or sidespin variations of the chop.
  • 19. The block is a simple shot, but nonetheless can be devastating against an attacking opponent. A block is executed by simply placing the racket in front of the ball right after the ball bounces; thus, the ball rebounds back toward the opponent with nearly as much energy as it came in with. This is not as easy as it sounds, because the ball's spin, speed, and location all influence the correct angle of a block. It is very possible for an opponent to execute a perfect loop, drive, or smash, only to have the blocked shot come back at him just as fast. Due to the power involved in offensive strokes, often an opponent simply cannot recover quickly enough, and will be unable to return the blocked shot. Blocks almost always produce the same spin as was received, usually topspin.
  • 20. • The defensive lob is possibly the most impressive shot, since it propels the ball about five metres in height, only to land on the opponent's side of the table with great amounts of spin. To execute, a defensive player first backs-off the table 4–6 meters; then, the stroke itself consists of lifting the ball to an enormous height before it falls back to the opponent's side of the table. A lob is inherently a creative shot, and can have nearly any kind of spin. Top-quality players use this to their advantage in order to control the spin of the ball. For instance, though the opponent may smash the ball hard and fast, a good defensive lob could be more difficult to return due to the unpredictability and heavy amounts of the spin on the ball. Thus, though backed off the table by tens of feet and running to reach the ball, a good defensive player can still win the point using good lobs. However, at the professional level, lobbers will lose the point most of the time, so the lob is not used unless it is really necessary.
  • 23. • The shakehands grip - generally favoured by Western players and is so named because you hold the paddle as if ready to perform a handshake. • A slight variation on this is the Seemiller grip which was pioneered by America's Danny Seemiller. • The penhold grip - popular among players from Asia, is so named because you hold the paddle as you would a pen. • Traditionally, penhold players use only one side of the paddle, however, the Chinese have developed a new technique where both sides of the paddle are used (the reverse penhold backhand).
