Table tennis,also known as ping-pong and whiff-whaff,is a sport in which two or four players hit a lightweight ball,also known as the ping-pong ball,back and forth across a table using small solid rackets. It takes place on a hard table divided by a net. Except for the initial serve,the rules are generally as follows:Players must allow a ball played toward them to bounce once on their side of the table and must return it so that it bounces on the opposite side. A point is scored when a player fails to return the ball within the rules. Play is fast and demands quick reactions. Spinning the ball alters its trajectory and limits an opponent's options,giving the hitter a great advantage.
