Table tennis, often referred to as ping pong, is a fast-paced and engaging sport that combines agility, strategy, and precision. Played on a small, rectangular table divided by a net, the game involves two or four players who use paddles to hit a lightweight ball back and forth. The objective is to land the ball on the opponent's side of the table without them being able to return it. The game demands quick reflexes, as the ball can travel at high speeds and change direction suddenly. Players must constantly be on their toes, anticipating the opponent's next move and adjusting their strategy in real time.
