Ping-Pong SmashNEW!
In Ping-Pong Smash, instead of a net, a basket with point values written on it is placed in the center of the table tennis table.
Participants hit balls from the left and right sides of the table and try to land them in the basket.
If they miss, they can try again.
There are 15 balls in total, and the game ends once all of them have been sunk.
Let’s add up the points to determine the winner.
If you want to adjust the difficulty based on the points, it’s a good idea to change the size of the basket.
Players use rackets to hit the balls, and since it’s done standing, it also provides a full-body workout.
