Guy Sports Apartment- Ha!

Some of our home decor is a shocker to people. 

When my friends crashed at to our apt., the very first thing they noticed was that long ping pong table we have leaning on the wall just by the front door.

My roommates and I play ping pong almost everyday and this has become our favorite past time activity since it was brought in.

I’ve been playing a lot of ping pong when I was in college, so when I heard that my roommates also love the sport, my fiery spirit suddenly ignited with joy, but that’s a different story.

So, my friends thought that it would be a fun thing to do while they were at my place. Being the good host that I am, I introduced them to the game.

Ping pong is played by either two or four players and like tennis, it also has singles and doubles game. You start the game with a service. The ball should be placed flat on the palm of a free hand. Toss the ball up from behind and a little over the top of the table’s end line, then hit it and make a lob to the other side of the table.

The player on the other side must allow the ball to hit his side of the table once then hit it back to the other side. If it bounces twice on one’s own side, a point will be given to the opponent.

Points are also given in cases of: hitting the ball twice, not hitting the opponent’s table when returning, touching the table your free hand, an illegal serve, hitting the net with racket or any body part among others.

So that’s a quick sum-up of how you can start playing ping pong or table tennis. Since it was just for fun, we carried on without any of the complicated rules yet.  Once I teach them a little, I had this thought that maybe we could put a friendly wager on the game.  LOL!
