Table tennis is an indoor game that is either played with single or team forms which in the first, a one-to-one game is held with one player at each side of the table and in the second, a team game is held with two players at each side. The table's top is a rectangular and a player or a team stands at one of the short sides of the rectangle. A player or a team hits the ball in the direction of the other player's or team's side.
Table tennis is sometimes called ping pong with its original name in Chinese.
Each player(out of two or four) holds a raquette(racket) to hit the ball. A ball is 2.7 gram celluloid, in 40 mm diameter in which filled high-bouncing gas. The table's top is 2.74 meters long and 1.525 meters wide with the height 0.76 meters from the ground.
There is a net on a table that is drawn to the width to divide the length.
I love table tennis very much so that I became champion at high school but since I was too tall for a table tennis player I was not taken to the city championship to be present. I know about seventy ways of giving the ball a rounding hit to direct it onwards the opposite's side the way to destroy them up. I do not often hit the ball fast but I can speed it up to the speed of 170 km per hour. I have played with a former Europe Champion personally.
