Table Tennis Racket

  parts - a wooden blade which incorporates the
  handle and table tennis rubbers affixed to each
  side of the blade using special table tennis
  glue. Most rackets are actually all very similar
  in size - about 15cm (6 inches) across and 25cm
  (10 inches) long including the handle.
• Rackets covered with pimpled rubber ruled the
  game of table tennis until the early 1950s, when
  sponge bats appeared. The first player to use a
  sponge bat was Austrian Waldemar Fritsch at the
  1951 World Championships.

• Use of the first offensive sponge bats began only
  after the 1952 World Championships in Bombay,
  when the Japanese players using these rackets
  proved to be quite a sensation. Hiroy Satoh of
  Japan, for example, become World Champion in men
  singles using a racket covered with a sponge.

Table Tennis Tables

• Table tennis has evolved significantly since its
  surprise birth upon the sporting world, acquiring
  many revisions of rules and seeing an evolution
  of equipment as technology and playing styles
  changed. Such refinement only serves as evidence
  that table tennis tables is indeed a full-fledged
  sport, comparable to any of the other classics we
  behold with reverence.

• The table is 2.74 m (9 ft) long, 1.525 m (5 ft)
  wide, and 76 cm (30 inch) high with a Masonite (a
  type of hardboard) or similarly manufactured
  timber, layered with a smooth, low-friction
  coating. The table or playing surface is divided
  into two halves by a 15.25 cm (6 inch) high net.
  An ITTF approved table surface must be in a green
  or blue color.

Table Tennis Rubber

• There are two main types of rubber - inverted and
  pimpled. Anti Spin Rubber, sometimes referred to
  as smooth rubber, is actually just pimpled rubber
  that is inside out, so that the underside of the
  pimples is facing outward over a spongy layer.
  The spongy layer serves to add either better
  control or faster speeds, depending on exactly
  how it is made. Inverted rubber is also stickier
  than pimpled rubber, which helps players make
  better spin shots.

• Anti-spin rubber is an inverted sheet of rubber
  featuring a very slick top sheet with a dead
  sponge layer. The resulting effect is a rubber
  sheet that is excellent for blocking, returning
  serves and great for changing the pace. For those
  that rarely use both sides of the racket during
  play, anti-spin rubber would be ideal for the
  backside. Your opponent will generally find
  himself confronted with a ball with little
  rotation, or a knuckle ball. This tends to lead
  to a ball that you can easily attack. A great
  addition to your arsenal.

  bigger than the 40mm celluloid balls, but the
  main difference is the type of material they are
  made from.

  played with a light 2.7 gram, 40 mm diameter
  ball. The rules say that the ball shall bounce up
  2426 cm when dropped from a height of 30.5 cm on
