      Ehm... that is the categorical difference between table tennis and ping pong. Ping pong uses bats which don't have the sponge / "rubbers" it is hard bat or sand paper. Means the game is completely different. Everyone plays with the same bat, but, is much less spin and can be a quicker game.
      But, dive in claiming ignorance, when your own knowledge could be spray painted onto the back of a stamp...

    I've always played:
    Service changes every 5 serves (except tie-breaker)
    Even in singles the ball has to be hit from one quarter of the table (divided by the net and middle line) to the opposite quarter.
    The two quarters you serve the ball into alternate every point.
    I guess it's like 8-ball where lots of people have slight rule variations.
    Thanks for another great video!

  • @peterharrison5833

    Good post. Played ping pong a lot when I was young. We played to 21, you had to win by 2. You could only score on your serve. Putting spin on the serve was legal. Hitting the back edge or side edge of the opponent's side was legal. And we called it a paddle. (Not a bat.)
    Returning the ball on the fly was legal, and was considering a good, aggressive attack strategy. Returning the ball so that it hit the top edge of the net and having go over and hitting the opponent's side was legal. Topspin, backspin, sidespin (left or right), were all good tactics. And a really good backspin that, for lack of a better word, was a "dink." You pointed the top edge of the paddle straight at your opponent with a little downward angle, and jabbed it forward and underneath the ball to drastically slow its speed down and create a strong enough backspin so that it would almost stop dead on the other side when it hit the table.
    I started out using a traditional grip (like the fellas you have in the video) and then converted to the "Chinese" or "pen" grip after a few years. It allowed me to do a greater repertoire of spins. Also, in effect, there wasn't much of backhand that way. We had a lot of fun in those days playing the game.

    • @NinhLyUK
      @NinhLyUK  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks again Peter.
      Sometimes the old rules are the best! I think we used to play by the same rules until the organisations modified the rules to make it more marketable for television (just like they did Badminton and Squash).
      Tough game to master. Being from a Chinese family, I was taught the pencil grip and only the pencil grip. But I found it horribly difficult to master so I reverted to the standard grip.
      Fun times.

  • @uddingstonbluenose
    @uddingstonbluenose 6 ปีที่แล้ว +17

    A minor thing is differentiating between an 'edge' and a 'side'.
    Many players try to claim any 'side' no matter how low it is...

      You're not allowed to touch the table - the referee will most likely give the point to your opponent.

    When you serve, if you throw the ball in the air and miss, do you lose the point or do you retake the serve? (In normal tennis you can retake it but I'm not sure if those rules apply to table tennis)

    • @NinhLyUK
      @NinhLyUK  9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hashtag Harry Once you let go of the ball, it's live unless the referee deems something to be wrong (like outside interference or the ball hasn't travelled 6 inches etc). It's very rare for this ever to happen as this is a fundamental part of the game.

    One question i have is: If I return the ball during a rally and the ball hits the corner/edge of the table and deflects down, usually straight to the floor, is that then a point to me or to my opponent.

    Just want to know the rules of deuce. In badminton, typically 20-20, the player who gets 2 more points will win the game but in 29-29, the player who achieves 30 points first will win the game. For example, A 30-29 B, player A wins the games. So is there any similar situation in table tennis?

    I thought that if you serve and the ball goes off the side (as opposed to the back) of the table after bouncing, you have to re-serve.
    Also, I thought that if you serve and the ball double-bounces on the opposite side, your opponent gets a point.
    Are these things true?

    • @ARP2wefightforyou
      @ARP2wefightforyou 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Ninh Ly I and everyone else with whom I've ever played have always played that if it double bounces on the receiver's side on a serve, the receiver gets a point.

    • @NinhLyUK
      @NinhLyUK  9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Just looked it up officially:
      2.7.1 The ball, having been served or returned, shall be struck so that it passes over or around the net assembly and touches the opponent's court, either directly or after touching the net assembly.
      2.10.1 Unless the rally is a let, a player shall score a point
      2.10.1.3 if, after he has made a service or a return, the ball touches anything other than the net assembly before being struck by his opponent;
      So as you can see from the laws above, if the server makes a good service (in which the ball bounces once on his side of the table, and once on his opponent's side of the table), the ball must not touch anything else other than the net assembly before being hit by his opponent. So if the ball bounces a second time on the table (or the floor, or wall etc), then the SERVER wins the point, not the receiver.
