Table Tennis

Table tennis is also called Ping-Pong or TT, a ball game similar in principle to lawn tennis and played on a flat ping pong table divided into two equal courts by a net fixed across its width at the middle. The lightweight hollow ball is propelled back and forth across the net by small rackets (bats, or table tennis paddles) held by the players. The game is popular all over the world. In most countries it is very highly organized as a competitive sport, especially in Europe and Asia, particularly in China and Japan. Table tennis is a really complex physical activity, beneficial for the player in more than one way.

Table tennis has always played second fiddle to sports like cricket, football and tennis in India, but somehow it has managed to keep its existence amongst the din of its much-fancied competitors. It has been popular as a corporate and resort sport due to the space and cost economies. Once a player gets the hang of it, it can be a very positive addiction.
