Table tennis has come a long
way from it's believed origin in England during the 12th century as a
spin-off of "Royal Tennis" and was also popular as a parlor game in
Victorian homes. Equipment was made from various homemade articles, such as
cardboard for rackets, books as nets and usually a ball of string. Today world class players can put up to 9000rpm of spin on a table tennis ball and todays high technology bats are covered with either pimpled, junk or sandwich rubber!
