One Competition, One Table
Ping pong is not our only contention. My first cousin and me were always competitive… perhaps excessively combative. It might be as little as who might eat faster or eat more… whom could consume food slower or less. It did not matter. If there was a means one individual could outperform the other in something, we would contend.
Unfortunately, the tiny house my wife and I bought doesn’t have a ton of space for the various ways my cousin and I like to compete. After much deliberation, my wife and I at long last settled on a pool table with a Stiga Fusion table tennis conversion top. Fundamentally this gives us the ability to enjoy either billiards or table tennis on one table in the same space.
So now my cousin and my infamous competition proceeds. Of course, he incessantly kvetches that it isn’t the true thing. Even though he usually trumps me in pool, every single instance we place the table tennis conversion top upon the pool table, it seems his game drifts.
To put it plainly, I think it is because I’m just plain the superior ping-pong player. But regrettably, he has too numerous rationalizations. The height is not right. The proportions are off. The list proceeds on. Thus I got out the measuring tape. The elevation and dimensions are right on to the official table tennis proportions. Then he postulated the table had the incorrect bounce; that in some manner the pool table below affected the speed and elevation of the ball bounce.
So we investigated the official bounce measurement (yes, there is an official bounce measurement). It is for each 30 centimeters of drop, there ought to be a 23 centimeters bounce. We tested the bounce in over a dozen positions on the conversion top. In each place the ball bounced almost perfectly straight up and nearly precisely 23 centimeters high. So you see, ping pong conversion tops do a perfectly respectable job duplicating a good game of table tennis. And my cousin has no excuses. I am simply the greater table tennis player.
