Hey TTD!

Here is is my latest vlog which features the recent World Ping Pong Championships held in London on the 28-29th January 2017. We go behind the scenes, with backstage training, interviews with players and officials and more! The Ping Pong World Championships uses traditional sandpaper bats that were used at the beginning of table tennis. Matches are first to 15 points, best of 3 sets except the final which is best of 5 sets. There is a double point ball allo wed once per match whereby if you win on this ball you win 2 points.

What is great about Ping Pong is the atmosphere, it has more crowd interaction and is very similar in that respect to the Darts when televised. Table Tennis has more of an approach where the audience is in silence, like a snooker match, at league matches you can barely whisper an opinion on a game and you're told to shhhhhhh. Well I say get behind the players, they are focused on their game anyway and if they can draw energy from the crowd then I think TT will be a great spectator sport for TV also. Ping Pong shines over TT on TV because the crowd are involved I think. Cricket was the same, all in white and very boring to watch so they spiced it up a bit, teams in multi coloured kits with the crowd interacting with every ball, maybe TT matches need to take a look from a spectators view?? Who knows, I know what I would prefer to watch. Epic Vlog again mate, keep it up
