Table tennis is not our exclusive contention. My cousin and me are always competitive… maybe too combative. It could be as trivial as whom could consume food speedier or just plain consume a higher quantity… whom could eat slower or less. It didn’t matter. If there was a means one mortal could trump the other in something, we’d contend.

Regrettably, the small house my wife and I purchased doesn’t have a lot of space for the various ways my cousin and I like to compete. Following much calculation, my wife and I at long last settled on a billiard table with a table tennis conversion top. Basically this gives us the ability to enjoy either billiards or ping pong on one table in the same room.

So now our notorious competition proceeds. Of course, he invariably complains that it is not the real thing. Even though he ordinarily bests me in pool, every single instance we set the table tennis conversion top upon the billiard table, it appears his game drifts.

To put it simply, I think it is because I’m just plain the greater table tennis player. But regrettably, he possesses too many rationalizations. The height is not right. The proportions are incorrect. The list goes on. So I got out the measuring tape. The dimensions and elevation are right on to the official table tennis dimensions. Then he postulated the table caused the incorrect bounce; that somehow the pool table beneath affected the speed and height of the ball bounce.

So we researched the official bounce measurement (yes, there’s an official bounce measurement). It is for every 30 cm of drop, there should be a 23 centimeters bounce. We tested the bounce in over a dozen placements on the conversion top. In every spot the ball bounced virtually perfectly straight up and almost precisely 23 cm high. So you see, ping pong conversion tops do a perfectly respectable job duplicating a good game of ping pong. And my cousin has no excuses. I am simply the superior ping pong player.
