Table Tennis

by Md Delower Hossain

Table tennis has the long standing reputation of being one of the world's most well loved sports. Basically, table tennis stands to be a scaled down version of tennis, bearing the same basic premise behind the game, differing in the rules, as well as the game's gameplay course.

Table tennis was quite popular in 1880 England, where the Victorians of the time would play table tennis as a form of evening entertainment. The popularity of the game, paved the way for the development of more table tennis geared equipment classes, which also eventually led to the development of table tennis as a sport. By the time celluloid, gas-filled balls became the standard ball in table tennis games, the equipment status quo of table tennis has remained the same today, with advances and developments coming up, year in and year out.
