Would you argue that table tennis is one of the hardest sports to be the best at? Perhaps in the top 5 most hardest.... you decide

yes, I do. I played Tennis,Table Tennis some other sports and coached both Tennis & Table Tennis. I believe that Table Tennis is one of the hardest sports in the world. I played Voleyball, sailing, football,badimitton,and other sports. you have to quick , need speed,be atheltic,strong, and edurance.

Its sure one of the hardest sports... Perhaps the hardest point is that you have to be really smart if you want a carrier in table tennis! You have so little time and so much to think for every shot!

The reaction speed is so much faster than other sports. Table Tennis blows soccer out of the water, the only reason the world loves soccer the most is because it's easy to play and easy to watch.

I think it is one of the hardest sport, since there is such a variety of playing styles. It is in many ways a power sport, a reaction sport, and definitely a technical sport. Personally I play Table Tennis, Ultimate, Disc Golf, CREW (rowing), Volleyball, Baseball, and Football (soccer and american football). I also play String Bass, this is just about equally hard as Table Tennis to me (in terms of competing to be the best I can be, and in the world (which likely won't happen for either)

 

it is definitely one of the hardest to learn and perfect and the reaction time required at the top level is amazing

Yeah, it's definitely up there amongst the hardest sports, reaction time, accuracy, fitness, endurance and many more factors; but each sport has its difficulties!

I think it's definitely one of the hardest.
You need to have good reflexes and I don't know a sport where you have to be smart and change tactics within one match and adjust to the different opponents like in table tennis.

very true!

If we compare table tennis to badminton for instance,,, there is a big comparison,, table tennis has spin on the ball... however badminton you need lots of footwork.. its hard to judge but a good debate
