Ping pong, table tennis, whiff-whaff…whatever you call it, you know it and you love it. To some it’s a recreational activity. To some, it’s an Olympic sport (it really is – since 1988!). To us, it’s a Lane7 classic.
TIPS AND TRICKS
It's All About Your Position
When playing the game, obviously. Get your mind out of the gutter. Keep a steady stance and move to the ball with your feet, staying balanced.
Wear Clothes The Same Colour as Your Opponent
We’re clutching at straws here, but matching your clothes to the ball colour can lead to your opponent losing track of the ball.
Spin to Win
Add a little spin to your shots to really mess with your opponent. Side spin, backspin, go wild. Just pretend you know what you’re doing and act smug when it works.
Serve Like You Mean It
A decent serve sets the tone. Quick tip: toss the ball six inches straight up, then strike it. Anything less and your mate will call foul (even if they have no idea why).
Don’t Smash Everything
Yes, smashing the ball feels great. No, it doesn’t help you win. Mix up your table tennis shots – soft taps, sneaky spins, and the occasional “oops” point.
