Table tennis affectionately known as Ping Pong is a sport of two or four players hitting a ball back and forth to each other on a table divided by a net. The players hit the ball with paddles (racket). During the play each player allows a ball played towards him or her only one bounce on their side of the table and must hit it back so that it bounces on the opponent's side.Table Tennis is a fast game and demands quick reactions. A skilled player may impart spin to the ball. This makes the ball bounce difficult to predict or return with confidence. A combination of spin and speed makes table tennis an exciting sport to play as well as to watch.
