3 things you may not know about Ping Pong

1. Ping Pong was invented by British soldiers in India who first used books and golf balls to play the game.

2. While most players seem to think that the game is played to a score of 21, Official rules state that it is actually played to a score of 11 and opponents alternate serves every 2 points instead of every 5. Since these games are shorter, a match - 2 out of 3, should be played.

3. The Ping Pong ball come in a variety of styles. Ranked by number of stars, the best balls have 5 stars and the cheapest ones have 1 star. I prefer 3 star balls. The balls also range in size from 38 mm to 40 mm though 40 mm is the official size. All Ping Pong balls are highly flammable and fun to set on fire, but be careful.

You may have known some of these, but hopefully you found some of them interesting. Now grab a paddle, grab a friend, grab a Ping Pong ball, and go test out your Ping Pong skills!

See you in the Ping Pong room!
