History of Table Tennis : Table tennis which started as a decorous, after-dinner game has now transformed into a fast, high-tech sport making it the sport with the most participants worldwide. It is the fastest game which leaves the player with the shortest reaction time. TT had perhaps started as an alternative to lawn tennis, using whatever they could find as an equipment to hit the ball. Stories from 1880s divulge of a line of books often used as the net, the rounded top of a champagne cork would be the ball and occasionally a cigar box lid would be a racket. From an amateur attempt to play ping-pong, it has meritoriously evolved to a nail biting, adrenaline boosting National sport.

The sport equipment has too progressed enormously since it was first invented. Nowadays, players use specially developed rubber-coated wooden and carbon-fiber rackets and a lightweight, hollow celluloid ball. Thanks to their high-tech rackets, they can now smash the ball at over 150 kilometers per hour!!!

The International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) is the governing body for all international table tennis associations.
