Choosing Equipment For Table Tennis

Table Tennis – a very popular game, especially because the space for it is very easy to equip. Only need a partner, a special table tennis, racquet and ball. Opponent you will find yourself, and about the equipment let me give you some advice. Table tennis table is rectangular, with strong legs. There are rules about its size, developed by the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF). They are as follows: length 2.74 m, width 1.525 m, height 0.76 m. It is desirable that the table was an all-weather, a good countertop is made of plastic, melamine or aluminum. If the height of 30 cm drop (not throw, namely drop!) For high-quality tabletop tennis ball, it bounces on the table surface 23 cm mat, usually black or green on the edges – a white band width of 2 cm separates the tops in half a tennis net, the upper edge of the grid in white.

This attack does hit more powerful and makes the ball spin. We are different racket handle. Straight handle convenient to turn in my hand, it can be useful during the game. Flared and anatomic shape allows tighter grip to hold the racket, but move your hand on it harder. Tapered handle – it's a cross between straight and flared. Tennis balls are made of special plastic or celluloid. It should be white or orange, with a matte surface, have a diameter of 4 cm, and weight – 2.7 was, however, it balls to the requirements for professionals, which is marking ITTF, amateurs play balls of any color. To check the quality of the ball, put it on a flat surface and unwind. If it turns unevenly, so they can not play, because he has a rough surface.
