Table tennis on 4 tables!

[anchorschmidt]

Have you ever tried something like this before?

We had a 4er Tisch tournament on Saturday in our club. A friend (in Green) and I (in Blue) played a match just for fun after we exited after the group stages. Though some players like us just wanted to try out 4 table TT for fun, a lot of players in the tournament were incredibly good at this.

In the beginning, it was much more difficult that one would think but looping safely over the net with topspin and sidespin turned out to be effective. If you smash anything that is not short, you'll probably hit the net or the ball would shoot off of the end.

And the ball is allowed to bounce twice

Looks fun but exhausting!

We played from 12 pm to 12 am but perhaps effectively 5-6 hours on the table.

You do get more sore from this but I feel that the small movements of regular TT cost almost as much energy. You don't have to stay low and squat all of the time, which is very exhausting and you don't have to be as precise in your body movements and stay on the balls of your feet.

Yes we do this a lot in our club. It is good training for, footwork, spin etc. and besides that it is great fun.

Yes thats true, will give it a try.
