2. Nature and
Background of
Table Tennis

3. Table tennis originated from England early before the 20th century. It
was played using improvised equipment and was developed after lawn
tennis had become a popular sport.
Table tennis is considered one of the most widespread racket sports in
the world. This sport is played on a flat table divided into two equal
courts by a net placed in the middle.
Its former name is ping-pong and is played with the same game
principles as those of lawn tennis. This sport aims to score a point by
hitting the ball using a racket over the net so it bounces down at the
opponent’s court in such a way that he or she may not reach it and
return it perfectly.

5. TERMINOLOGY
In the next slide is a list of the terms and phrases
commonly used in table tennis along with their
definitions. This will help you understand the game and
its rules.

9. Grip
Penhold Grip
A. Description
1. The thumb and the
forefinger circle the handle.
2. The remaining fingers curl
or spread on the back
surface.

Shakehand Grip
A. Description
1. The racket is held on the
palm of the hand.
2. The thumb and forefinger
lie roughly parallel to the
straight edge of the rubber.

becoming a player.

10. service

11. Serving
Technique
The ball must be placed on the free hand's open
palm and thrown vertically upward without spin,
at least 16 cm from the palm. It must be visible to
the receiver and not hidden by the server's body
or clothing. The ball must touch the server's side
of the court first and then pass over the net
assembly to the receiver's side. In doubles, the ball
must land on the server's and receiver's sides.

12. RECEIVING
TECHNIQUE

13. Receiving the ball is crucial in the sport, as it allows
players to make plays and develop a passion for the
sport. Players must control force and make quick
judgments about the type of hit and racket angle.
There are two ways of receiving a ball: defensive
(block, push, lob) and offensive (spin, drive, smash).
Understanding geometry and physics can help in
receiving the ball effectively.

14. Push
A push is used when the incoming ball is short and
low or has an underspin applied to it. The player
should be near the table to be able to reach the
short ball. The ball is brushed with the racket
hitting it at the lower section. To execute a push,
the racket is placed at shoulder level and is then
moved toward the ball, brushing it slightly
underneath with an open racket position. The
racket moves in a forward downward motion. It is
applied with less force.

15. bLOCK
A block is made to defend an incoming
fastball with no spin. Compared to a push,
a block has basically no force. A slight
forward motion is done for a follow-
through movement. The angle of the
racket would depend on the height of the
ball upon
contact.

16. drive
A drive is the basic way of returning the
ball to an opponent. The force and speed
applied to the ball are much greater than a
push. In other words, a drive is faster and
stronger than a push. It is used for
attacking and counterattacking the ball at
the top or lower part, hence creating a
topspin or an underspin. The racket is
either at an open or a closed angle.

17. Loop
A loop is executed almost the same as a
drive. It is used for both defending and
attacking a long and low ball imparted
with a spin. A counter-spin is made to
reverse the effects of a spin upon contact
with the racket's surface.

18. lob
A lob is used to defend a smash from the opponent. It is hit with
an open racket position at the lower part of the ball as it
descends, creating a higher trajectory and bounce than a push or
blocked ball. The racket is lowered at waist level or a little below
the table once the ball leaves the table. The receiver must take a
few steps away from the table to effectively use the lob against a
smash.

19. smash
A smash is considered the hardest skill
to execute. Proper timing, force, and
racket angle are important to achieve
the desired outcome. The ball is hit at
eye level, in a semi-closed racket angle
position, with high speed and force.
