Ping Pong/Table Tennis Thread

[habbywall]

Who plays?
I played a lot on vacation and am really getting into it.
I am going to try to make my own table here at home.
Discuss everything and anything about Ping Pong or Table Tennis, whichever you prefer to call it.

oh i love to play pong! I have my own table in the basement. I think im currently our house champion too! I have so many paddles..hehe. But the thick rubber ones are best. And that's kewl that your making your own table! Anyways...goodluck! pingpong is a fun game.

Ohh..and where from Michigan are you from again? Im from the U.P.

Does it count that I just saw Balls of Fury (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0424823/)?

me and a friend used to be the regional champion team, but I've sort of fallen out of it during the past year or so.

I do have a $300(NZ) paddle though :D

i used a 5mm piece of mdf thats around the right size. cost 30 or so and i just put it on top of the dining table and attatch a net. works great.

Damn... ping pong? Isn't that what children call it who can barely hit the ball?:rolleyes:

It's Table Tennis here :p. I play in the district league, and I'd say I was an average player (well, better than most people, but not most people in the league).

You can read about some of my games/matches here (http://www.clactontabletennis.com/reports.htm) , if you just click a date (we have weekly matches) , and do ctrl+f... ''James Smith-Daye'' , then ya should find something telling you how pro I am ;) :cool:

I have a ping pong table in my room. I still don't play often at all though. I only have one or two friends that are any good at it and one of them is out of my league, so its hard to actualy have a decent match.

[James_Potter]

Noooooo, Ping Pong is for the creative people who prefer a friendly onamotapoeia to a boring ol self explanatory boring name.

[Bondo]

Pure BRILLIANCE!!!

man...it's just so true....

[phlegm]

Table tennis can be a lot of fun. I had a table in my garage, but I don't have a garage anymore. So I haven't played for a while.

[lpounds]

Anyone else interested in resurrecting this thread? I love sport table tennis and not hobby ping pong... anyone else?

[habbywall]

I love sport ping pong but I'm not a big fan of sport table tennis.

[lpounds]

I thought table tennis and ping pong were the same thing. ?

[willy]

table tennis is so much fun! i used to be in a regional team but i just couldn't practice enough to be good enough. my eyes arent that great and that ball moves damn fast.

One of these days you're going to kill that cat.

[skrobo]

hmm
i won a tournament for ping pong once, it was cool considering it was one of the first times i had played the game. i've never been killed at the game, but i am by no means good at it.


p.s. i'd bet a dollar i can hold my own at foosball tho.

[skrobo]

and for making tables, i would personally use some birch plywood or something like that. $30 for MDF is rediculous, i hate that type of wood.

if i lived anywhere near you id hit you up for some foosball, its ultimate! :D

[skrobo]

lol yeah, i play wayy too much, but i'm not stopping, except for the fact that my table is here... and i'm going to live elsewhere for the summer.

I tried and tried, knowing you are one for obscure posts that leave me searching for relevancy, but could not make sense of this...

Was it meant to point out that inquisitiveness can lead one into dangerous situations? Like, "Curiousity Killed the cat"

[Into the blue]

Um, no.
Habby often tells us when he's playing by posting a link to his live-feed in MR.
The couple of times I've watched his games there is a dog roaming under the table and a cat perched near the net.
One of these days there is going to be a calamitous Tom & Jerry incident which will surely end up on America's Funniest Animals.

Obscure posts?
Me?

[lpounds]

Haha, oh well then! It all makes sense now. I must see this live feed...
