Something that interests me very much is Table Tennis or know more commonly as Ping Pong. While engaged in battle at the Pong table players are known to be very taciturn in their struggle to beat the opposing player. While others players are known for carping their opponet while in play, these players do not follow the normal players in trying to eshew these habits in place for good table tennis ettiqute. The competition aspect of ping pong usually brings out the invidious comparisons between two players. Ping Pong may seem very banal to a passing spectator but the game is more than just that. It is about making the other player attempt difficult shots that throw them off and can give you the upper hand. The greatest players in the world are often emulated for their play and those that do emulate them often will deliver encomium to the greats, if their play improves from copying these players. I have an insatiable desire to play Table Tennis all the time no matter what the situation.
