Table tennis, also known as ping pong, is a sport that uses a paddle and a lightweight plastic ball. It can be played indoors on a rectangular table divided by a net. Players hit the ball back and forth across the net, aiming to score points by making the ball land in the opponent's side of the table. The game is fast-paced and requires quick reflexes, precise hand-eye coordination, and strategic placement of shots. It can be played as singles or doubles, making it versatile and popular in recreational and competitive settings worldwide.
