While the actual originator is up for debate, the game was trendy amongst the upper class as a fun after-party activity by the turn of the century. Originally played with golf balls and books as paddles, the game was, in fact, originally called ping pong. However, after the onomatopoeic name became an enforceable trademark ultimately by The Parker Brothers (Now Hasbro), official organizations soon adopted the name &#8220;table tennis&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><b>What makes a ping pong table professional grade?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Per the regulations set forth from the International Table Tennis Federation, or ITTF, a regulation ping pong table must be made of a wood or wood composite for it to be deemed acceptable. The table&#8217;s dimensions must be nine feet by five feet and 2.5 feet off the floor. Although the ITTF does not specify a material composition, it states that a ball dropped from approximately 30 centimeters cannot bounce more than 23.1 centimeters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>STIGA Advantage Competition Table STIGA&#8217;s Advantage Competition Table is a highly durable, indoor-only ping pong table constructed to help improve your game and provide hours of endless entertainment.
