Are there different size ping pong tables?
Options if you have less space – If you don’t have a room with this much space, you still have a few options.1. Squeeze in You could just play with less space if your room isn’t quite as big as the measurements above. If you only have space for two or three steps back from the table, rather than four, you can still play, but it’s going to be tighter.
- You’ll have to play close up to the table all the time.
- If you go back from the table too much, you’ll bash your bat against a wall (not good).
- So it’s possible to play with less space, but you’ll be more restricted in how you can play.
- In my garden room, I have about 1.5 metres space either end of the table, which is less than the diagram above.
But I mainly use it to play with my kids, so it is fine for this purpose. And if I use it to train with my robot, then I just push the table towards one end, and this gives me loads of space to play.2. Buy a ¾ size table tennis table It’s possible to buy a smaller table, one which is ¾ the size of a full size table.
I think this is fine if you’re only going to play for a bit of fun with friends and family. You’ll get plenty of enjoyment from the table. If you want to do serious training, a ¾ size table is not so good. You’ll have to adjust from playing on a smaller table at home to a bigger table at a table tennis club, which isn’t ideal.

3. Buy a table top Some people have a room which is big enough, but the space is already taken up by a dining room table. In this situation, you could consider buying just the table top. This can sit on top of the dining room table when playing and then stored away when not in use.
- There are different sized table tops available, some smaller (to fit smaller dining room tables) and some full sized ones.
- A purchased a table top, after my garage got converted into a bedroom.
- It was very easy to set up and after use I was able to store the table top in my shed.
- I found it absolutely fine to use with my kids when they were small.
A table top is probably a better option if you just want to play for fun with family and friends. It may not be so good for serious training, as the height of the dining table may be different to a table tennis table. Recommendations (UK)

4. Push table up against wall and use a robot When I purchased my first table for my garage, there wasn’t enough room either end of the table for two people to play. So I couldn’t actually have a two player game. Instead I just used my robot – Power Pong Omega – to train with.
- Because the robot didn’t need any space back from the table, I could push the table right against the garage doors.
- This then gave me space at my end to play.
- It was also great fun whenever we had a party.
- Everyone loved trying to play against the robot.
- Related link: Review: Power Pong Omega 5.
- Go outside If you really do not have enough space inside, then your only other option is to get an outdoor table tennis table.
When my family expanded in size, my garage had to be converted into a bedroom and I had nowhere to put an indoor table. So I purchased an outdoor table – a Cornilleau Outdoor 600x Crossover, It was a little hard to play if there was too much wind, but on a fine sunny day, playing outside was great fun.

- In pingpong the ball must bounce on your side of the table before going over the net after you hit it. It is this extra bounce that gives the game the onomatopoeic name of pingpong. Apart from this the game is identical to table tennis.

- Ping Pong was the name given to the game when it was played by gentlemen and ladies. Now it is a competitive sport it has to have a more catchy name but the rules are still the same.

- Table tennis and ping pong are exactly the same game (none of this nonsense of balls bouncing on different or both sides of table) “Ping pong” was the sound that the ball made when the game first came about, because of the type of bat/racquet used. The “ping pong association” then tried to make EVERYONE use only THEIR equipment, and after a period of time a different association was created, called the “table tennis association”. Rules are the same For more:- http://www.guardian.co.uk/notesandqueries/ask/0,-25477,00.html

- Louise Smitherson, Brighton, England
- According to the Columbus Table Tennis Club President, Greg Brendon, the most notable difference between the two games is as follows: ping pong paddles (also called bats) do not contain a sponge-like material between the wood and the outermost layer and are referred to as “pips out” because of their knobby texture on the outermost surface. This sponge like material, along with the inversion of the rubber on the outside of the bat is what makes table tennis a game where the spin placed on the ball is a more relevant factor. Table tennis is the most current of the two games. However, some players still play with hard paddles (aka hard bats) which can make for a challenging variation for newer players who are not used to playing against it as the spin factor is altered by the pips.
- Jeremy Cadwell, Dublin, Ohio United States
- Let’s set the record straight. There is absolutely no difference! The correct title for the sport in the UK and most of the rest of the world is “table tennis”. This is because “ping pong” is a trade mark, number 233177, registered by the London toy importers and manufacturers Hamley Brothers on 20 September 1900 for their version of table tennis manufactured by John Jaques & Son. It is for this reason that the name “ping pong” cannot legally be used in UK to describe the sport of table tennis. Originally, there were both a “Ping Pong Association” and a “Table Tennis Association”, established within a few days of one another in December 1901, but they merged in 1903 when the obligations towards the owners of the “ping pong” trade mark became too onerous. There were further problems of a similar nature when the sport, which had been dormant in most parts of the UK from 1904, became active again around 1922. “Ping pong” is still the official title of the sport in a few jurisdictions around the world and principally in China. The references (above) to a single bounce or double bounce service applied only to the period between 1900 and 1902. The references above to a double bounce in each rally and different sizes of ball are completely erroneous. Other trade marks were also registered including “Whiff-Waff” by Slazenger & Sons on 31 December 1900 and erroneously referred to by Boris Johnson in his infamous speech at the closing ceremony of the 2008 Olympic Games. The earliest registered trade mark was “Gossima” by John Jaques & Son on 16 July 1891 and the earliest known equipment (apart from Foster’s compendium of games in 1890 that included a version of tennis on a table) was produced under this name.
- Graham Trimming, Slough, UK
- There is no difference between ping pong and table tennis, it’s all bullshit!
- Bestia Higgenbottom, York, England
- I always thought it was the one bounce versus two bounces (as described by others). However, some others have made some very detailed explanations, which sound credible. One thing I would add then, if they are exactly the same game, what do you call the version with one bounce versus the game with two bounces. They cannot be called the same thing.
- Guy Eitzen, Melbourne, Australia
- What basic society calls “ping-pong” is a “game” where you don’t really try hard but instead have fun. The ones who are serious about the sport, because it is a sport being a part of the Olympics, will call this Table-Tennis and have true skill to demonstrate to others. So basically if you go to BTHS and challenge us to “ping-pong”, you will have the ball drived towards your body at 100mi/hr and will never win.
- KennyG Ariza, Bricktown, NJ United States of America
- In table tennis you have to throw the ball up at least 6 inches on a serve, in ping pong you can serve from the hand. Also in ping pong you can have any material for the padding or on the padding. In table tennis there are rules for what you can use, for example, in ping pong you can use sand paper for the padding, in table tennis sand paper doesn’t meet the criteria for the padding

- Dear Editor, I am writing this statement to you as a result of my thoughts on the difference between the two sports, ping pong and table tennis. Back in my day, we didn’t have ‘table tennis’ or ‘ping pong’. It was all just pong. When I was a young boy, after school everyday I’d go home and play pong on my iPhone. Sometimes I would even play during the day! Oh the memories. To conclude, the difference between ping pong and table tennis, is that neither of them exist. The real question is, what is ping pong or table tennis to pong?
- Samuel, Ohio America
- The difference lies in the bat or paddle used by each player. In ping-pong both players use the same bat and the bat is usually sponge less, sometimes called a ‘hardbat’ or ‘sandpaper’ bat. In ping-pong each player has the opportunity to use the others bat during the game, this eliminates any bias due to the type of bat being used; by virtue of this, ping pong, by some, is considered to be a purer game than table tennis, in which the opponents have individually designed bats using a variety of sponges and rubbers.

- I used to be a keen table tennis player when I was in my teens. I was watching the Ping Pong World Championships on television today. The only difference I noticed was that in each game, each player was allowed to go for a double point serve. On his own serve the player signals to the umpire that he wants to try for a double point. The player then goes to the umpire and swaps the game ball for a different coloured ball. He serves once, if he wins he gets 2 points. If he loses his opponent gets the 2 points. He then goes back to the umpire to swap back to the original game ball and carry on with his service. I do not know if there is a difference in size or weight of the double point ball. I do know that nothing like this happens in Table Tennis.

- Ping pong bounces on both sides of the table, serve and rally. That’s clear and simple, it is not table tennis and just because a patent company jumped on this old style of game doesn’t mean its table tennis with their cheap equipment. Ping pong is a better game than table tennis. Yes.BETTER and more fun. Shame the patent distorted and killed this old game. Ping pong on.
- Jason, Rothbury England
- I was watching on TV but before I could spot the difference between ping pong and table tennis I fell asleep.
- Chris Leet, Leicester, England
- As some have said the Ping Pong World Championships are on Sky. In fact the knock out stages start at 6 pm CET. They are two different games, and as some have already said. Similar but different. The bats are spongeless and are exactly the same for each player. The covering on the bat has pimples on both sides of the bat and is usually light blue, as opposed to black on one side and red on the other with Table Tennis. The double point ball can be chosen by each player only once in the match, and only if they are serving. A white ball is used to signify this double point, then after the point is played they revert back to an orange one. If the server on the double point wins the rally then he gets two points, however if he loses, his opponent only gets ONE point not the double point. Also they take it in turns to serve twice, then their opponent serves twice and so on. The game is played to 15 and is sudden death if they reach 14 all, they do not play to two clear points. Table Tennis is normally played to 21 and in batches of fives searches each. I know this because I play both Table Tennis and Ping Pong. Hope that helps without being as rude as some have been!
- Pat, London UK
- Ping Pong • There has been much debate about the difference between ping pong and table tennis, with the common assumption being that they are the same thing. Here, we explain the differences: • The surface of the bats – While the sides of a table tennis bat consist of rubber and sponge, the sides of a ping pong bat are made up of sandpaper. Essentially, this means that the ping pong rallies are longer and involve more craft and skill as the bats arenÂ’t able to generate as much power or spin. • At the end of each leg (first to 11 or 15 points depending on tournament format) players change ends and exchange bats, meaning no advantage can be had from the equipment, unlike in table tennis where players can pick and choose different types of rubber surface to suit their game. • Like table tennis, a best of five legs scoring system is also in place with service changing every two points. However, in Ping Pong each player gets one ‘double point ballÂ’ in each match. They can elect to use this whenever they like provided theyÂ’re on serve – making things even more interesting and exciting!

Pickleball is a racket or paddle sport where two (singles) or four (doubles) players hit a perforated, hollow plastic ball with paddles over a 34-inch-high (0.86 m) net until one side is unable to return the ball or commits an infraction. Pickleball is played indoors and outdoors.
It was invented in 1965 as a children’s backyard game in the United States, on Bainbridge Island in Washington state. In 2022, pickleball was named the official state sport of Washington. While it resembles tennis in some respects and ping-pong (table tennis) in others, pickleball has specific rules, paddles and court dimensions.
The court is 44 feet long and 20 feet wide, and the paddle is larger than the one used in table tennis. The hard plastic ball used in pickleball produces less bounce than tennis balls, On each side of the net is a 7-foot area (2.1 m) known as the non-volley zone (or the kitchen ), where the ball must bounce before it is hit.
The rules specify side-out scoring, where only the server can score a point. The minimal amount of bounce, the non-volley zones, and the underhanded stroke with which all serves are made, give the game a dynamic pace. Between 1965 and 2020, pickleball became a popular sport in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, and began to grow in popularity elsewhere.
In 2021, 2022 and 2023, the sport was named the fastest-growing sport in the United States by the Sports and Fitness Industry Association, and by 2023 it was estimated to have over 4.8 million players. The growing popularity of the sport has been attributed to its short learning curve, its appeal to a wide range of ages and fitness levels, and its low startup costs.
Can you play beer pong without a table?
2. Juegoal Yard Pong – You’re going to have to fit a lot of beer in these buckets. Just kidding unless you want to? The Juegoal Yard Pong game is your classic game of beer pong oversized to sit in your yard instead of on your table. Fill each bucket with water or sand to weigh them down from the wind.
Can a ping pong table be 4×8?
3. Combine the Table Top Halves – Because official ping pong tables are 9 feet long by 5 feet wide, a traditional 4×8 sheet of plywood from the home center wouldn’t work. Each quarter of the table could be cut out 4×8 sheets, but that would leave a lot of scrap and would push the price of the table top close to $200.
Josh found a plywood distributor that had 5 foot by 5 foot birch plywood sheets for around $30 each. Rather than making the whole flat table, we cut and assembled the table quarters together using biscuit joinery, Ping Pong tables have white boundary lines along the sides and across the middle of the table.
We used walnut as our boundary material which contrasted the birch plywood really nicely. With 1 inch walnut boundary lines, we were able to cut 4-28 1/2 by 52 inch quarters out of the two 5×5 foot sheets. Each walnut & plywood quarter was glued up using large clamps, but when the table halves needed to be glued up independently, we switched to a wedge-style clamp.

How big is a 7-foot table?
How to Discover the Size of Your Pool Table Quickly –
Step 1: Get a tape measure. Step 2: Measure from one side of the cushion on the short side (i.e., the width of the table) to the cushion on the other side of the table. You want to measure at the top of the cushion where the ball touches it, not up under the cushion. Step 3: Take the measurement for the width of the playing field and double it to get the length. Alternatively, you could measure on the long side of the table from one cushion to the other.
For example, if your measurement is 44 inches wide, you would double this for the length and get 88 inches long. What this tells you is you have an 8-foot pool table. The most important thing to remember is that you will not get an exact 7-, 8-, or 9-foot measurement. Rather, it will be shorter, as follows:
A 7-foot pool table will measure 39 inches wide by 78 inches long or 40 inches wide by 80 inches long. An 8-foot pool table will measure 44 inches wide by 88 inches long. A pro 8-foot table will measure 46 inches wide by 92 inches long. A 9-foot table will measure 50 inches wide by 100 inches long.
It is worth mentioning there can be slight variations in pool table sizes when measuring from cushion to cushion, depending on the type of cushions used on your table. The felt size can also slightly change the measure of the playing field. However, you will have to take measurements closest to standard measurements to determine what size pool table you have.
Can you buy a smaller ping pong table?
Portable Table Tennis Tables and Tables for Apartments & Small Spaces – A smaller ping pong table can be a great option for those in tighter spaces, but they too have a wide range of choices. The smaller size takes a little getting used to, but can actually make you a much more skilled player. A midsize ping pong table is about 2/3 the size of a regulation table.
The best part about these tables is that you still get a sturdy 12mm playing surface, they are regulation height, and they come with a regulation height net. That all adds up to a much more realistic playing experience and skills that transfer better to a full-sized table. Bonus features for this type of medium-sized ping pong table include doubling as a card table and folding flat for closet or under bed storage.
Miniature and portable table tennis tables come in all shapes and sizes. Most fit into the novelty toy category as the surfaces may not provide an even bounce and the dimensions are on a much smaller scale. What they lack in pedigree, they make up for in portability.
- Since there is no standard for small table tennis tables, pay close attention to the listed size and the weight to make sure it fits your needs.
- And if all you have is a dining room table or a park bench, you might still have a table tennis table.
- For a ping pong experience you can take anywhere, consider a retractable table tennis net.
These portable ping pong nets stretch to 6 feet and easily clip on to any surface up to an inch thick. Small enough to fit in a purse, these versatile nets are a table tennis player’s perfect travel companion. A smaller ping pong table can be a great option for those in tighter spaces.

Is beer pong 6 cups?
Arrange ten (typically 18oz or 16oz) cups in a pyramid-like formation as the diagram shows on each side of a beer pong table (usually about 8ft long is standard). Fill each cup with the desired amount of beer (or other alcohol or even water if you so choose).
- Traditionally two 12oz beers are used to fill all ten cups, but this amount can vary depending on how much you’d like to drink.
- Beer Pong is generally played by teams of two in which each team takes turn throwing a table tennis ball into the other team’s cups.
- Once a ball lands in a cup, the cup is taken away and the opponent then drinks the contents of the cup.
If both teammates hit cups, the balls are rolled back and they get to shoot again. The team that successfully hits all of the opponent’s cups wins the game. Since there are a vast amount of variation on the game, it is good to quickly go over things like racks and bouncing/swatting before the game begins. If it is the first game of the night, the first shot is decided by “Eyes.” This is when a player from each team shoots the ball while maintaining eye contact with their opponent throughout their shot. If both players miss or both players make it, their partners now shoot.
