            What are you going to do with your empty basement? Table Tennis is a good way to go. It fits in most basements but also comes with a lot of fun. In this essay, I will talk about the dynamics and long term benefits of Ping Pong.

            Ping Pong is one of my hobbies. It seems simple enough, but as you incorporate more and more tricks and spins, you will find that earning your point is not so easy. Some of the main ways to derail your opponent are powerful smashes, deceptive spins, and unpredictable serves. If you wanted to get a paddle your first thought would probably be to go to amazon and find the one with the best reviews. But for the pros getting a paddle is a different story. First you must buy a handle, then you have to buy two rubbers, one for each side and then cut them to fit your handle. Then you would use a special glue and stick the rubbers to the handle. And just a plain wooden handle can easily be over 100 dollars. As you can see this process is not only labor intensive, it isn’t very easy on your either.
