­­Jan-Ove_WaldnerA very popular and skilled game played indoors in pairs or doubles on a hard rectangular table with a 4cm, lightweight cellulose ball negotiated over low net in the centre of the table using circular paddles or bats. The bats are about 15cm across and are coated with rubber to impart spin - a key factor in the game. The winner is the first to score 11 points unless both players score 10 points, when the game shall be won by the first player gaining a lead of 2 points. Hardbat and recreational play often still use the classic 21 point game total. Image of Jan-Ove Waldner, a table tennis legend; one of  the greatest modern-era players
