The Olympic sport has some key differences from what you play in the basement.
The most common association people have with professional table tennis is that the players stand very far back from the table. This is true, and very exciting to watch.
Like any sport, professional table tennis equipment is leagues above the standard recreational fare. It can also get quite expensive! The most elite paddles sell for hundreds of dollars. The biggest difference in the paddles is that professional ones have a layer of thick, sticky, smooth rubber on either side . The rubber surface allows the players to maximize the amount of spin they put on the ball.
If you have a kid at home who loves to play ping-pong, some high-level table tennis equipment makes for a great gift: Butterfly is a great brand for all things Table Tennis.This one is a little easier to clear up. It's a paddle. A piece of sporting equipment is only a racket if it has strings . However, if you really want to talk like a Table Tennis pro, you can call it a"bat."Table Tennis balls used to be made of a celluloid material.
“Sucker’s Serve," common in recreational games — in which the player on the verge of losing a game gets to serve as many times as they want — does not exist in professional table tennis. If you want your home match to count as regulation, this should be eliminated from your ping-pong rulebook.
