What is table tennis? Is it a dangerous sport?
Table tennis, predominantly known as Ping Pong, is a fast moving racquet sport requiring exceptional hand-eye coordination. Men and Women play either as individuals or in pairs and win points by hitting a lightweight ball over a net so that their opponents can't return it or are forced into an error. So pag nagkamali kah, score sa kalaban!
Table tennis, or ping-pong, is an enjoyable sport but it can be highly competitive. Each player tries to outscore his opponent through the use of skill, strength, speed, stamina and strategy. The game is somewhat similar to tennis, where players hit the ball back and forth over a net. Isipin niyo nalang na yung tennis sport ay pinaliit at nilagay sa table. Kaya nga table tennis diba?
