HISTORY
The game originated in England during the 1880s, where it was played among the upper-class as an after-dinner parlour game. It has been suggested that the game was first developed by British military officers in India or South Africa who brought it back with them A row of books were stood up along the center of the table as a net, two more books served as rackets and were used to continuously hit a golf-ball from one end of the table to the other. Alternatively table tennis was played with paddles made of cigar box lids and balls made of champagne corks. The popularity of the game led game manufacturers to sell equipment commercially. Early rackets were often pieces of parchment stretched upon a frame, and the sound generated in play gave the game its first nicknames of "wiff-waff" and "ping-pong". A number of sources indicate that the game was first brought to the attention ofHamley's of Regent Street under the name "Gossima".The name "ping-pong" was in wide use before British manufacturer J. Jaques & Son Ltd trademarked it in 1901. The name "ping-pong" then came to be used for the game played by the rather expensive Jaques's equipment, with other manufacturers calling it table tennis. A similar situation arose in the United States, where Jaques sold the rights to the "ping-pong" name to Parker Brothers. Parker Brothers then enforced their copyright on the term in the 1920s making the various associations change their names to "table tennis" instead of the more common, but copyrighted, term.
The next major innovation was by James W Gibb, a British enthusiast of table tennis, who discovered novelty celluloid balls on a trip to the US in 1901 and found them to be ideal for the game. This was followed by E.C. Goode who, in 1901, invented the modern version of the racket by fixing a sheet of pimpled, or stippled, rubber to the wooden blade. Table tennis was growing in popularity by 1901 to the extent that tournaments were being organized, books being written on the subject,[7] and an unofficial world championship was held in 1902. During the early 1900s, the game was banned in Russia because the rulers at the time believed that playing the game had an adverse effect on players' eyesight.
In 1921, the Table Tennis Association was founded in Britain, and the International Table Tennis Federation followed in 1926.London hosted the first official World Championships in 1926. In 1933, the United States Table Tennis Association, now called USA Table Tennis, was formed.
In the 1930s, Edgar Snow commented in Red Star Over China that the Communist forces in the Chinese Civil War had a "passion for the English game of table tennis" which he found "bizarre".
In the 1950s, rackets that used a rubber sheet combined with an underlying sponge layer changed the game dramatically, introducing greater spin and speed. These were introduced to Britain by sports goods manufacturer S.W. Hancock Ltd. The use of speed glue increased the spin and speed even further, resulting in changes to the equipment to "slow the game down". Table tennis was introduced as an Olympic sport at the Olympics in 1988.
After the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, the International Table Tennis Federation instituted several rules changes aimed at making table tennis more viable as a televised spectator sport. First, the older 38 mm balls were officially replaced by 40 mm balls in 2000. This increased the ball's air resistance and effectively slowed down the game. By that time, players had begun increasing the thickness of the fast sponge layer on their rackets, which made the game excessively fast and difficult to watch on television. Second, the ITTF changed from a 21-point to an 11-point scoring system in 2001 This was intended to make games more fast-paced and exciting. The ITTF also changed the rules on service to prevent a player from hiding the ball during service, in order to increase the average length of rallies and to reduce the server's advantage.
Variants of the sport have recently emerged. "Large-ball" table tennis uses a 44 mm ball, which slows down the game significantly. This has seen some acceptance by players who have a hard time with the extreme spins and speeds of the 40 mm game.
There is a move towards reviving the table tennis game that existed prior to the introduction of sponge rubber. "Hardbat" table tennis players reject the speed and spin of reversed sponge rubber, preferring the 1940–60s play style with no sponge and short-pimpled rubber. Defense is less difficult by decreasing the speed and eliminating any meaningful magnus effect of spin. Because hardbat killer shots are almost impossible to hit against a skilled player, hardbat matches focus on the strategic side of table tennis, requiring skillful maneuvering of the opponent before an attack can become successful.

World Table Tennis Table Industry Opens Door to Futuristic Models

...World Table Tennis Table Industry Opens Door to Futuristic Models Today, many things have become highly trackable. They are more gamified now. An innovative ping pong table is making winds by detailing out player’s strengths and weaknesses. Discovered by a designer and student Thomas Mayer this ping pong table offers a real time data. Its capability to assess both trainers and players and track the movements of the ball and an individual has surprised many in the “Global and Chinese Table Tennis Table Industry[->0]”. The mapped interface for this presents the accumulated data. On the other hand, the dashboard shows the scores as well as reviews the player’s performance. Echoing his sentiment about the product, Mayer said “it was challenging to design a functional interface which is projectable on a ping pong table taking in consideration the players’ ergonomic”. He further added “project resolution, layout of the interface and arrangement of buttons were the biggest problems that I had to test in many prototypes.” Mayer had set up the table, which is surrounded by many technical equipment in his office. Research analysts at Prof Research Reports assessing the growth rate, demands and opportunities reveal that the product is an outcome of Mayer’s years of patience and dedication. The first operational prototype helped him convince few players for testing to make sure there are more user – focused developments. By being able to display several obstacles on the table surface...

History of the Table Tennis Paddle

...I wanted to discuss the history of the table tennis paddle. When given this assignment, I instantly wanted to do some research on what the table tennis paddle used to look like, the material that it was made out of and etc. To begin with, I read that the table tennis paddle originally was developed in the late 1800’s and did not change until the early 1900’s. The first table tennis paddle was called the “banjo racket” because of its looks and it also was constructed like a small drum, and made a drum like sound when you hit the ball with it. The first paddle was also around 19 inches long, which is unheard of nowadays. As we neared the start of the 20th century, the paddles then started to become made of wood covered in sandpaper, followed by a “cork-faced” racket, which players liked because they thought it, improved their overall performance. As we neared the middle of the 20th century, the changes in the racket increased significantly due to a first time impact from Japanese technology. They tried adapting the racket so it would help a player either on the offensive or defensive side. For example, it says that they made a racket that was wide and had a “pimpled rubber” surface that was preferred by players on defense. Next, they developed a sponge type racket. When the sponge racket was implemented with rubber and was 1mm, it was said that it was more difficult to create spin on the ball. I found it interesting that they finally stuck with this type of material and instead...

...BRAINTEASERS AND GUESSTIMATES Vault Guide to Finance Interviews Brainteasers and Guesstimates Stress Tests Perhaps even more so than tough finance questions, brainteasers and guesstimates can unnerve the most icy-veined, well-prepared finance candidate. Even if you know the relationships between inflation, bond prices and interest rates like the back of a dollar bill, all your studying may not help you when your interviewer asks you how many ping pong balls fit in a 747. That is partly their purpose. Investment bankers and other finance professionals need to be able to work well under pressure, so many interviewers believe that throwing a brainteaser or guesstimate at a candidate is a good way to test an applicant’s battle-worthiness. But these questions serve another purpose, too – interviewers want you to showcase your ability to analyze a situation, and to form conclusions about this situation. It is not necessarily important that you come up with a correct answer, just that you display strong analytical ability Acing Guesstimates We’ll start by discussing guesstimates, for which candidates are asked to come up with a figure, usually the size of a market or the number of objects in an area. Although guesstimates are more commonly given in interviews for consulting positions, they do pop up in finance interviews as well. Practicing guesstimates is a good way to begin preparing for stress questions in finance interviews, as they force candidates to think aloud – precisely...

...LETS BE LEFTIES TINA MORTON CHAMBERLIN COLLEGE OF NURSING NOVEMBER 2, 2014 It’s 8 am Monday morning and I have just clocked in. I walk into my office to start my day, as I sit down at my desk and turn on my computer I notice that I have received an email from the Human Resources Department that states “Lets be Lefties for a Day” the memo followed by saying that there have been many complaints of ethnocentrism amongst employees and management so they have decided to implement a project for the day so that we can try to recognize why the staff was feeling this way. The first challenge was to have us take a sock and put a Ping-Pong ball in our fist and not to use that hand for the afternoon, the second task was to get out on the floor and experience what our staff did on a daily basis and the third task was to have a meeting with the other departments to see what their outcome was.

Service Learning Reflection Paper

...Service Learning Reflection For my service learning in OT 220, my group and I were assigned to work with the second grade class. Being that this was the biggest class, my group and I realized that we would need to plan out numerous activities. We first started by planning how we would present the topic of bullying. We decided to do an activity that involved each student writing one compliment on a pumpkin with another student. I decided to make pumpkins to enhance the topic of bullying, and to ad a fun theme. Once each student received their pumpkin, they seemed nervous about what to put on it. For example, the young boy that I was next to was nervous because he wanted to tell a girl she was pretty. After a few minutes, he got the confidence and handed the pumpkin to the girl. She was happy, and the young boy’s face had a huge smile on it. After this, we discussed different types of bullying. To my surprise, the students mostly brought up the aspects of cyber bullying. Being that they were so young, I did not expect them to understand that bullying was more than just physically hitting someone. WE also talked heavily about verbal bullying because, many students were unaware that some of the comments that they make, may be hurtful to someone else. After this discussion, my group and I brought two poster boards. On one board the students wrote nice words, and on the other board students wrote bad words. The students came up with many words that showed they had a strong understanding...

The tennis club focused on in the case serves as one of the many incentives for customers to vacation at or buy property from PD Inc. Douglass Hall, the tennis director has the responsibility of creating an expansion plan to address the insufficient capacity of the tennis courts. He needs to set both short-term and long-term solutions for the tennis facility and satisfy his colleagues in Marketing, Operations and Finance. One of Hall’s main challenges, in both the near and distant future, is to increase capacity utilization by smoothing the extreme peaks of demand for court space created daily and seasonally by the muggy Florida weather. The number of resort guests is expected to double, so there is a severe need to expand the current court capacity. Not only is the popularity of tennis continuing to increase, but customers are not happy with the current court capacity as they are facing difficulties in reserving court time. By forecasting court hours used/guest night per a moving average (Exhibit 1) and the demand & capacity (Exhibit 2) one can see there is a need for additional capacity. It is recommended to manage the current court capacity of the March-April 2007 season by adjusting demand, however for the peak season of 2008 four courts should be added. Short term...

Tennis

...Tennis Several thousand years ago, the game of tennis was created. It was invented by European monks to be played during religious ceremonies for entertainment. At first the ball was hit with the hand, but soon after an adaptive handle was created to hit the ball. The modern game of tennis was originated in the 19th century. The word "tennis" came from the Old French term tenez, meaning hold, receive, or take. The game was popular in England and France, where it was also commonly played inside, where the ball was hit against a wall. Henry VIII of England was a big fan of this indoor game, which is now known as real tennis. During the 18th century and early 19th century real tennis declined, and new racket sports emerged. In 1873, a similar game called sticky was created by army majors who played the game for entertainment at garden parties. This game was played only outside. Sticky is the game in which modern tennis evolved to. In 1877, the first and oldest sticky (now tennis) championship was created: the Wimbledon Championships. The competition sparked debate about what the exact rules should be. In America in 1874 Mary Outerbridge met the majors who created sticky. She laid out a tennis court at the Staten Island Cricket Club in New Brighton Staten Island, New York. In 1880, the first American National tournament was played there. At the tournament both double and single games were played. In 1881, the first US Open was played. Around this time the French Open and the...
