Table tennis, known as ping pong, is where two or four players strike a lightweight ball back and forth across a table. A hard table is used for the game and is separated by a net. Like most other sports, table tennis began as a “parlour game,” open to anyone with a table, paddle, and ball. In the 1880s, lawn tennis players adapted their game to play indoors during the winter.
Recreational table tennis improves concentration and alertness, stimulates brain function, aids in developing tactical thinking skills and hand/eye coordination, provides aerobic exercise, and social and recreational interaction, according to scientific evidence and medical experts worldwide. Like pool tables and air hockey tables, ping-pong tables are a great source of entertainment. So, look at Malaysia’s top 5 best ping pong tables in 2025.
What Are The Rules Of Ping Pong?
Double hits are not permitted, so you may not hit the ball with your racket hand’s fingers and then hit the ball with your racket. This is a player who does this. A player may not throw their racket at the ball to hit it.
Can You Touch The Table During Ping Pong?
Your free hand, the one not holding the racket, is the only part of your body that cannot touch the table. Your entire body is free to touch the table at any time. If you don’t move the table, you can rally while sitting on it, lying on it, or standing on it while remaining compliant.
