    Table Tennis

    also called ping pong)


    it is a sport in which two or four players
    hit a lightweight ball back and forth
    using a table tennis racket. 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

    History

    12th Century AD
    The game of table tennis probably
    descended from the game of
    Royal Tennis also known as Real
    Tennis or Court Tennis which was
    played in the medieval era.
    The game became popular in
    England and the United States in
    the late 19th century.

    1880s
    Some sources claim that the
    sport was once known as indoor
    tennis, and was played in the
    early 1880s by British army
    officers stationed in India and
    South Africa.
    The game has its origin in
    England as an after-dinner
    amusement for upper-class

    The popularity of the game led game


    manufacturers to sell the equipment
    commercially. Early bats were often
    pieces of parchment stretch upon a
    frame, and the sound generated in
    play gave the game its first nicknames
    of whiff-whaff and ping-pong. A
    number of sources indicate that the
    game was first brought to the
    attention of Hamleys of Regent Street
    under the name Gossima. The name
    ping-pong was wide in use before
    English manufacturer J. Jaques & Son

    History
    Evolved along with badminton and Lawn
    tennis in 1880s
    Early version of game in 1890 had cloth
    covered rubber ball, strung racket and
    wooden fences around table
    Changes started in 1900 when celluloid
    ball was used and name changed to
    ping-pong due to sound of ball

    Equipment

    Table Tennis Racket


    . A table tennis racket is made up of two distinct parts
    - a wooden blade which incorporates the handle and
    table tennis rubbers affixed to each side of the blade
    using special table tennis glue
    . Most rackets are actually all very similar in size about 15cm (6 inches) across and 25cm (10 inches)
    long including the handle.
    .

    Equipment

    Table
    . The table is 2.74 m (9 ft) long, 1.525 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-friction coating.[15] 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..
    .

    Equipment

    Ball
    . 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.

    Basics

    Grips
    Pen Hold
    The penhold grip is so-named because
    one grips the racket similarly to the way
    one holds a writing instrument.
    The style of play among penhold players
    can vary greatly from player to player.
    The most popular style, usually referred
    to as the Chinese penhold style, involves
    curling the middle, ring, and fourth finger
    on the back of the blade with the three
    fingers always remain touching one

    Basics

    Grips
    Shake hand
    The shakehand grip (also called the
    "shakehands grip") is so-named
    because one grips the racket similarly
    to the way one performs a handshake.
    The grip is sometimes referred to as
    the "tennis grip" or the "Western grip,"
    although it has no correlation to the
    Western grip used in tennis.
    The shakehand grip is traditionally
    popular among players originating in

    Basics
    Strokes
    Basic Service Techniques
    Imparting spin on these serves should be concentrated
    mostly on the wrist.
    Backspin- just like pushing or chopping, a backspin
    serve is executed with an open racket slicing the
    bottom of the ball.
    Topspin- like driving, topspin serves can be done
    hitting with a flat racket, or like looping, where the
    player grazes the top of the ball with a closed racket
    for more spin.
    Sidespin- simply hit the back of the ball in a left-toright or right-to-left motion, as desired. To make the
    stroke easier, try holding the racket in front of you and
    brushing the bottom of the ball in a pendulum motion.

    Starting a game
    In top-flight competition, service is
    decided by a coin toss. At lower levels it
    is common for one player (or the
    umpire/scorer) to hide the ball in one or
    the other hand ( usually hidden under the
    table), allowing the other player to guess
    which hand the ball is in. the correct or
    incorrect guess gives the winner the
    option to choose to serve or to choose
    which side of the table to use.

    service
    In game play, the player serving the ball
    commences a play. The server first stands
    with the ball held on the open palm of the
    hand not carrying the paddle, called the
    freehand, and tosses the ball directly
    upward without spin, at least 16 cm (6.3
    in) high. The server strikes the ball with the
    racket on the ball's descent so that it
    touches first his court and then touches
    directly the receiver's court without
    touching the net assembly. In casual
    games, many players do not toss the ball

    The ball must remain behind the end


    line and above the upper surface of
    the table, known as the playing
    surface, at all times during the
    service. The server cannot use his
    body or clothing to obstruct sight of
    the ball; the opponent and the
    umpire must have a clear view of the
    ball at all times. If the umpire is
    doubtful of the legality of a service
    they may first interrupt play and give
    a warning to the server. If the serve is
    a clear failure or is doubted again by

    If the service is "good", then the


    receiver must make a "good" return
    by hitting the ball back before it
    bounces a second time on receiver's
    side of the table so that the ball
    passes the net and touches the
    opponent's court, either directly or
    after touching the net assembly.
    Thereafter, the server and receiver
    must alternately make a return until
    the rally is over. Returning the serve
    is one of the most difficult parts of
    the game, as the server's first move

    Hitting the ball


    Any hitting of the ball must be done
    such that the ball passes over or around
    the net. If the ball is struck such that it
    travels around the net, but still lands on
    the opponents side of the table, the bit
    is legal and play should be continued. If
    the opponent cannot return it over (or
    around) the net and make it bounce on
    your side, then you win the point.

    Scoring
    Allowing the ball to bounce on ones
    own side twice.
    Not hitting on g the ball after it has
    bounced on ones own side.
    Having the ball bounce on ones own
    side after hitting it
    Hitting the ball before it has bounced
    on ones own side of the table

    Double hitting the ball. Note that the


    hand below the wrist is considered part
    of the bat and making a good return of
    ones hand or finger is allowed, but
    hitting ones hand or fingers is allowed,
    but hitting ones hand or fingers and
    subsequently hitting the bat is a double
    strike and an error.
    Allowing the ball to strike anything
    other than the bat.
    Causing the ball not to bounce on the
    opponents half (i.e., not making a

    Placing ones free hand on the playing


    surface or moving the playing surface.
    Offering and failing to make a good
    service ( i.e., making a service toss
    and failing to strike the ball into play)
    Making an illegal serve: (e.g., one
    preceded by a players hiding the bail
    or his failing to toss the ball at least
    16 cm(six inch.) in the air).
    Hitting the net with bat or any body
    part, or moving the table.
