Basically, there are four important materials need in table tennis which are:
1. Ball- the ball is 2,7-gram, small celluloid, color orange or white, and has
a size of 38 mm to 54 mm in diameter.
2. Racket or Paddle – the racket is usually made up of wood and rubber
and is divided into 2 parts: the handle and the blade.
3. Table Tennis Table – This where the game is played. This material is
9ft long, 5ft wide and must be placed 30 inches high from the ground.
4. Net and Post – Whatever the case, the net should be 6ft long and 6
inches wide, has a white upper tape that is not more than 15 mm wide.
-All the length, width, color, etc. are preferred by the International Table
Tennis Federation.
1. You have two serves before it is your opponent’s turn to serve twice. This
used to be five serves each but since changing to 11 it’s now just two.
2. At 10-10 it’s deuce. You get one serve each and must win by two clear
points. This is sudden death or table tennis’ equivalent of a tie break.
3. If you are playing a best of 3, 5 or 7 (as opposed to just one set) you have to
change ends after each game. This makes sure both players experience
conditions on both sides of the table. You also change ends when the first
player reaches five points in the final game of a match.
Service Rules
1. The service must start with the ball in an open palm. This stops you from
throwing it up with spin.
2. The ball must be thrown vertically, at least 16 cm. This stops you from
serving straight out of your hand and surprising your opponent.
3. The ball must be above and behind the table throughout the serve. This stops
you getting any silly angles and gives your opponent a fair chance at
returning.
4. After throwing the ball, the server must get their free arm and hand out of the
way. This is to allow the receiver to see the ball.
Doubles Rules
1. The service must go diagonally, from the server’s right-hand side to the
receivers right-hand side. This stops you from getting the opposing pair
tangled up before they’ve even hit a ball.
2. A doubles pair must strike the ball alternately. This makes doubles
challenging. None of that front court/back court tennis nonsense.
3. At the change of service, the previous receiver becomes the new server and
the partner of the previous server becomes the receiver. This makes sure
everybody does everything. After eight points you’re back to the start of the
cycle.
If the opponent allowed the ball to bounce twice on their side, they
won’t earn a point.
If the ball touches the net and does not bounce on the opponent’s side of
the table, the server won’t gain a point.
