I love Slo-Mo Ping Pong.

Don't worry, you might think the clip will be dodgy after the first 19 seconds but it doesn't keep heading in that direction. Or maybe you want it to. Hmmm....

Very sneaky point

Check out this shot by Paul Pinkewich, posted from about a year ago. Very very sneaky. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tiojI6lBlZc

Purpose of this blog

This Blog brings you all that is happening with PingPong/TableTennis internationally but especially in Sydney. Also, the CBD of Sydney, Australia needs a Ping Pong/Table Tennis venue.

This site is dedicated to that vision.

If you can help in anyway with space, money, expertise, enthusiasm or Reese Peanut Butter cups, then let us know.

This is a club for the community.
It aims to be a cultural/community hub.

Get your Pong on!!!

Reactions to Table Tennis #1

Have you ever mentioned Table Tennis or Ping Pong to someone and got a strange reaction?
Perhaps the person has giggled or stared at you with a poker face.

Believe it or not, but there are some people out there who do not rate Table Tennis as an important sport. They also think it is something that does not require much physical exercise or mental capability. For those who play regularly, we know Table Tennis is a game that requires effort and concentration.

What are some of your favourite, scariest or strangest reactions to Table Tennis? Have you ever been embarrassed to tell people you love it?

When I go to Melbourne next...

This is where you'll find me.

International Ping Pong Classic.

The International Ping Pong Classic was played on Feb 7 - 8 at the Palms Resort in Vegas. It was a great tournament with a total prize money pool of $100 000USD. Foxtel is planning to show some of it soon.

Australia's own William Henzell got to the quarters. Congratulations! It must have been tricky playing with the sandpaper bat. Check out Henzell's blog at aussietabletennis.com for more info.

And to find out more about Ping Pong and the Classic head to TableTennisDaily.
