"Table
tennis(also
known asping-pong)
is aracket
sportderived
fromtennisbut
distinguished by its playing surface
being atop a stationary table,
rather than thecourton
which players stand. Either
individually or in teams of two,
players take alternating turns
returning a light, hollow ball over
the table's net onto the opposing
half of the court using smallracketsuntil
they fail to do so, which then
results in a point for the opponent.
Play is fast, requiring quick fired
reactions and constant attention,
and is characterized by an emphasis
on spin, which can affect the ball's
trajectory more than in other ball
sports." Source
