Table Tennis, also known as Ping Pong, is a popular racquet sport that is commonly played in most game rooms. Despite the similar names, Table tennis is quite different than tennis. The equipment used in both of these racquet sports vary greatly in material, mechanics, price, and other factors.The three basic parts of table tennis equipment are tables, balls, and racquets. These are essentially all the equipment you will need to play this sport. One of the great benefits of table tennis is that it can be played indoors all year round. Additionally, the sport requires very little space as a standard table is 9 feet (2.74 meters) long, 5 feet (1.525 meters) wide, and 30 inches (76 centimeters) high. It is recommended to have a few feet of clearance space behind the table and along the sides.
