Ping-pong

Ping-pong is a quick, intense game that is played all around the world. Ping-pong used to be called Table tennis, because it is simply like playing tennis, but on a table. The game was originated in England. Ping-pong is a sport which consits of two - four players hitting a small, light weight ball across the table. The speed of the ball usually catches players off guard. The goal of the game is to hit the ball to the other side of the table, and try to make the ball bounce twice, or for the opponent to miss the ball all together, therefor giving you a point. The game ends when the first team wins 5 points. Ping-pong is an extremely popular sport played by kids, adults, and teenagers. You have to have very quick reflexes and always be on your toes, you must have a lot of skill to play this game. There are several different strokes of the paddle, such as a speed drive, a loop drive, a counter drive, a flip, and a smash. Those are some examples of offensive strokes, which are used most often. I love to play ping-pong in my spare time. I challenge you to play against me!
