A little piece of Table Tennis World history! 🏓

This racket was one of the very first produced for Paul Pinkewich in the early 70's

Proof that if you buy right, it lasts — and experience counts. With decades in the sport, we know table tennis and we know what makes quality equipment.

We love seeing pieces of table tennis history like this. A huge thank you to Eileen Broughman for the fantastic flashback and for sharing this with us.

🏓 Table Tennis on TV: The Office

In the Season 4 episode “The Deposition,” Jim takes on Darryl in a game of table tennis—but after Darryl wins, Kelly’s enthusiastic trash talk gives Pam plenty of motivation to help Jim improve!

Pam even creates a makeshift table tennis setup in the conference room so Jim can practise against his co-workers. Dwight also reveals that many of his heroes are legendary table tennis players.

Who do you think would win a rematch—Jim or Darryl?

🏓 What does “defensive” mean in table tennis?

A defensive playing style focuses on control, consistency and keeping the ball in play, rather than attacking every shot.

Defensive players often:

🔹 Block or return powerful shots safely
🔹 Use backspin and chopping to make the ball difficult to attack
🔹 Focus on accurate placement
🔹 Wait patiently for their opponent to make a mistake
🔹 Play farther away from the table

A defensive blade or bat is generally slower and offers greater control, helping players absorb speed and return the ball consistently.

Could a defensive playing style suit your game?
