What is "table tennis"?

Table tennis, also known as ping pong, is a fast-paced sport played on a rectangular table with a net across the middle. Players use small paddles to hit a lightweight ball back and forth over the net. The goal is to score points by making the ball land in the opponent's side of the table in such a way that they cannot return it. Points are earned when the opponent fails to hit the ball, or it lands outside the playing area. The game is played in singles or doubles, and it involves quick reflexes, precision, and strategy.
