Ping pong balls

Ping pong balls are a commonly found item in many stores and homes. But when table tennis was first invented in the 1880’s, the idea of a ping pong ball was humorous, as was the entire game of table tennis. In fact, table tennis was invented by upper-class Victorians who were looking for after-dinner amusement. They came up with the game of table tennis as a way to mock the idea of playing tennis indoors. The common table tennis that we all recognize today wasn’t used, but instead players used household items such as books, waded up pieces of paper, and even dishes to create the equipment such as nets, balls and paddles.

It wasn’t until the early 1900’s that the game of ping pong evolved into the sport that is popular today. The name for the ping pong balls is said to have been invented by players who used the first rackets, which were made of parchment stretched over a wooden frame. When the balls hit the racket, the sound they made was coined “ping pong” and in 1901, J. Jaques & Son Ltd patented the name for use to market their table tennis equipment. Today, the whimsical name has stuck, making ping pong an even more popular name than table tennis, and bringing to mind those little white bouncing balls.

Today, ping pong balls are popular toys, and although they are used in the game of table tennis, they are also used in other games. Because of their high bounce and light nature, ping pong balls are fun for children to enjoy in a variety of ways. Ping pong balls are also popular for adult games, and are very important for use in the game of beer pong. Beer pong is similar to ping pong, but instead of getting the ball over a net, players bounce balls into cups of beer. The object of the game is to eliminate the other team’s cups of beer. When you land a ball in a cup, the players on that team have to drink the beer. This makes it even harder for them to compete against you. The game of beer pong is an extremely popular college drinking game.
