 Table Tennis, also known as ping pong, is a
sport in which two or four players hit a
lightweight ball back and forth across a table
using a small paddle. The game takes place
on a hard table divided by a net.
 The name "ping-pong" was in wide use before

British manufacturer J. Jacques it in 1901.
EQUIPMENTS IN TABLE TENNIS
 Ball- is made of celluloid plastic as of 2015,
colored white or orange, with a matte finish
Sphere having a mass of 2.7 grams

(0.095 oz) and a diameter of 40
millimeters
 Table- The table or playing surface is uniformly
dark colored and matte, divided into two halves by
a net
 Paddle/Racket- with a laminated wooden racket
covered with rubber on one or two sides depending
on the grip of the player.
 The wooden portion of the racket, often referred to
as the "blade", commonly features anywhere between one and
seven plies of wood, though cork, glass fiber, carbon fiber,
aluminum fiber, and Kevlar are sometimes used.

2 TYPES OF STROKES:
 Offensive strokes
 Hit- A direct hit on the ball propelling it forward back to the
opponent. This stroke differs from speed drives in other racket
sports like tennis because the racket is primarily perpendicular to
the direction of the stroke and most of the energy applied to the
ball results in speed rather than spin, creating a shot that does not
arc much, but is fast enough that it can be difficult to return.
 Loop - The racket is much more parallel to the direction of the

stroke ("closed") and the racket thus grazes the ball, resulting in a
large amount of topspin
2 KINDS OF DRIVE/GRIP:
 Forehand Drive/Grip is so-named because one grips
the racket similarly to the way one holds a
writing instrument.
 Backhand Drive/Grip is so-named because the
racket is grasped as if one is performing a
handshake.
 Counter-hit- The counter-hit is usually a counterattack against
drives, normally high loop drives. The racket is held closed and
near to the ball, which is hit with a short movement "off the
bounce" (immediately after hitting the table) so that the ball
travels faster to the other side.
 Flip- When a player tries to attack a ball that has not bounced
beyond the edge of the table, the player does not have the room to
wind up in a backswing. The ball may still be attacked, however,
and the resulting shot is called a flip because the backswing is
compressed into a quick wrist action.
 Smash- The offensive trump card is the smash. A player will

typically execute a smash when his or her opponent has returned a
ball that bounces too high or too close to the net.
 Defensive strokes
 Push- The push (or "slice" in Asia) is usually used for keeping the
point alive and creating offensive opportunities.
 Chop- A chop is the defensive, backspin counterpart to the

offensive loop drive. A chop is essentially a bigger, heavier push,
taken well back from the table. The racket face points primarily
horizontally, perhaps a little bit upward, and the direction of the
stroke is straight down.
 Block-. A block is executed by simply placing the racket in front
of the ball right after the ball bounces; thus, the ball rebounds
back toward the opponent with nearly as much. energy as it came
in with.
 Lob- The defensive lob is possibly the most impressive shot, since
it propels the ball about five meters in height, only to land on the
opponent's side of the table with great amounts of spin
OFFICIALS IN TABLE TENNIS WITH DUTIES:
 Referee- the official who is responsible for assuring

that the competition is fair and played under the ITF
Rules of Tennis.
 He referee supervises all aspects of play at a

tournament including the conduct of players,
coaches, spectators, and administrative crew.[7] The
referee must be present whenever matches are being
played.
 The referee is usually only seen on court during the

administration of a medical timeout.
 Line Umpire- calls all shots relating to the assigned lines."Line
umpires work on court as part of a team of between one and
nine line umpires. Each line umpire is assigned to one line or,
in the case of a short-handed crew, a position in a system.
 The line umpire signals a ball out by making a verbal "out" call
("fault" for a serve) followed by the extension of the arm
shoulder high in the direction the ball was out. A ball is
signaled "safe" or "good" by holding both hands together knee
high in front of the body.
 A line umpire who is unable to call a shot (usually because a

player obstructs his/her view) signals this by holding his/her
hands beside his/her head, the upper side pointing in the same
direction as the eyes; that call is then the chair umpire's
responsibility.
 Chair Umpire- is the final authority on all questions of fact
during the match. Questions of fact include whether a ball
was in, the calling of a service let or the calling of a foot-
fault. In matches where line umpires are also assigned.
 The chair umpire is often situated in a tall chair at the

center of the court, behind a net post. The players' benches
are to either side of the chair.
 The chair umpire calls the score of the match to the players
and spectators between points. At the conclusion of a point,
game, or set, the chair umpire times the players to ensure
they follow ITF regulations on pace of play. The chair
umpire is responsible for completing a scorecard, the
official historical record of the match
 Chief Umpire- of a tournament "appoints and
replaces or reassigns, when necessary, Chair
Umpires,
 The chief umpire also collects scorecards from chair

umpires at the conclusion of the match and thus
may furnish the media with any factual information
they may request.
