Table tennis - what is worth knowing?

The beginnings of table tennis date back to 1891. The game has been gaining popularity year by year, and as a result, today we can enjoy the opportunity to play one of the most famous sports, ping pong. How to play?

Ping pong - game rules in short: A standard ping pong game ends when you have 3 winning sets. You can play up to 5 sets during the game.

Serving

The ball must be thrown vertically behind the table. It must be played with a racket so that it first touches your side of the table and then travels to the opponent's side. If the ball touches the net during the service, the maneuver must be repeated. If you miss the ball during the service - you lose the point to the opponent. Each player serves 2 times in a row, except for the tiebreak - starting from the score of 10 to 10, the players will serve alternately.

Game

If the opponent receives the serve, there is a rally - the person who loses it loses the point. What to remember? You should hit the ball once and in this way pass it to the opponent's side. It should not touch the body or clothes - you play only with the help of the racket. The ball can touch the net or the post - in the playing area marked by the table. If the ball touches the edge of the opponent's table instead of the top - you also lose the point.

End

Each set ends when a player scores 11 points - or more if the score does not show a 2-point advantage. After the set ends, players switch places - in the last set, this happens every 5 points scored by one player.

Dictionary of common phrases in table tennis

When starting your adventure with ping pong, it is worth familiarizing yourself with a few phrases commonly used by players during the game. This will make it easier for you to find your way around the sport and integrate with other participants in the game. What is worth knowing:

• Backhand: Refers to playing with the back of the racket - the back of the hand facing the opponent.
• Forehand: Refers to playing from the front of the racket - the palm is facing the opponent.
• Cutting: This is a technique where the ball is hit directly into the opponent's court at the highest point without any spin. This makes the ball so fast that it is difficult for the opponent to reach and hit it.
• Spin: Depending on where the racket is struck, the ball is strongly rotated forward or backward, making it more difficult for the opponent to return the ball.
• Top spin: is a playing technique that gives the ball a strong forward spin. It consists of spinning the ball so that the top of it moves forward in its rotational movement.
• Back Spin: Hitting the ball with a back-and-forth motion at the bottom end (known as the "South Pole") causes the ball to spin in the opposite direction, which causes the ball to play slower.
• Doubles: In doubles, two pairs play against each other. The same basic rules apply as in the classic game, with the following special features:

o The serve in doubles is played diagonally,

o The ball must be served diagonally to the left, i.e. from the right side of the table to the right side of the opposite side of the table,

o During the game, players must hit the ball alternately – unlike tennis.
