A Beginner's Guide to Ping Pong

Logan and Armin, two King's of the Ping Pong world, take you through the fundamentals of the game, providing snippets of tips to get you on the glorious path to Pong expertise in no time.

I am Junior at the University of Texas at Austin, and I am currently double majoring in MIS & Psychology.

I started my own UT student organization called Texas Ping Pong in the Fall of 2006, and by the end of the Spring 2007 semester my organization has grown to over 20 members.

It was good to get the correct rules and terminology - more than once I've argued with with friends ("That serve was totally legal, what are you talking about?"). The graphics in this vid are nice. I'd like to see this video taken further, bring on advanced ping pong!

A simple fun game that anyone can play. A game that has been mastered by many but more importantly enjoyed by almost anyone who has tried to play the game. A game that is played all over the world has no language barrier, just plain fun!

More rules than I expected

I thought I knew how to play ping-pong, but apparently I didn't. This lesson gets into details on serves, the "let" rule and various grips. I was surprised that it doesn't really cover body position much and several sections might be more effective if they were less talking and more showing. Title screens are great and add a lot of character!
