Its not really that suprising. Ping pong is really popular outside of the US. Every Jr. high and high school in Japan, China, Taiwan, and probably Korea has a ping pong team.
I bet those ping pong players are complaining about all the money there is in Pool! They only get to play for 100K with a $10,000 first prize and the pool players have tournaments with 250K, and a first prize of $40,000! So unfair to all those hard working ping pong players. :frown:
Customised paddles is way beyond what I thought they were at.A bit like tips,they have different surfaces/skins/padding for the style play and conditions. Like any sport, eventually the science gets involved along with high speed cameras.Its a great sport (ping pong).....its amazing the success they have with those new after market low deflection handles

Don't worry Jay, I hear there is a new organization, APPP (Association of Ping Pong Professionals), they will set things right with a little good ol' fashioned diplomacy.
Jason...I know your post was tongue in cheek, but ping pong has national federations in every country it's played in (including here in the USA...USTTA). They all play by the same rules, and some even support players financially! Pool could likely learn a few things from ping pong.

...Oh and how often do you see Table Tennis on a sports channel? Twice a year tops.
JMHO
They serve, I hit it back too high, they smash it back at me at 100 miles an hour and I go chase the ball. Still fun.
