Ping Pong and Table Tennis
So it looks like there is a difference between Ping Pong and Table Tennis.
According to Greg Letts on his awesome blog, Ping Pong is played with cheap rackets/paddles and Table Tennis is played with high tech fancy schmancy ones (my interpretation of what he said).
Table Tennis points are usually over within roughly 3 shots. There is a lot of spin and intensity.
Ping Pong is a lot more fun to watch as the points go for longer as was evidenced by the recent World Championship of Ping Pong in Vegas.
If it is true that Ping Pong and Table Tennis have evolved into different sports then surely they can help each other out. One aim of Sydney City Pong is to get people playing more Ping Pong and being educated about what Table Tennis is and especially how difficult it really is to play. We hope that come 2012 Olympics there will be a large number of Aussies wanting to watch the elite Table Tennis players battle it out.

Highlights from WCPP Vegas
I so wish I could have seen more of this tournament.
The world championship of Ping Pong.

The winner is treated like a rockstar. That's what I like to see in the world of Pong.
