    Table tennis is unreal, the spin that can be put on the ball can make it bounce off your paddle at 90 degrees practically... I played against a guy that had this trick serve, lots of spin, it bounced off his side of the table and went straight, then bounced off my side of the table and became a curve ball, I swung at it, missed completely and it was sitting on my shoulder spinning for a second... he did that to me more than once...

    In martial arts your reflexes are as good as they can get at the Brown Belt level, table tennis will get you up to speed in that area quickly... or keep you up to speed..

    The thing about table tennis is it cannot be played outdoors if there is any breeze at all... so a community really should have a table tennis club. The Chinese community in Los Angeles has them complete with coaches and those kids are very good at the game...

    Table tennis burns calories at the same rate as regular tennis...
     

  4. Notice what good players do with a spin like that. They wait for the spin to commit itself, that is use itself up. If the ball got as high as your shoulder you weren't waiting for it to come down
    where its spin is used up and its direction disernable then you can put your own stuff on it.
