Best Answer

Ping-Pong is a USA registered trademark, first developed in the early 1900s by Parker Brothers Inc., and it is now owned by Escalade Sports.

Therefore the registered trademark "Ping-Pong" indicates a brand of equipment used to play the sport of Table Tennis.

Ping-Pong is the brand and table tennis is the sport.

However, in many places the names are still used interchangeably.

Is table tennis the same as ping pong?

One of the original names for table tennis was ping pong. Ping Pong was then registered as a trademark by the sports company John Jaques & Son in England. Parker Brothers in the USA also bought the rights from Jaques to use the name ping pong in the USA only. So the name of the game was changed to table tennis. The official name today is table tennis.

How are table tennis and tennis alike and different?

table tennis is obviously played on a table and tennis is not. they have some of the same rules, but tennis has tramlines, so, in other words, table tennis' court doesnt change from doubles and singles and the singles does. also the scoring is different. table tennis is frist to 21 points and tennis it is first to 6 games. they are alike as they are both played with a raquet and a ball that you can hit before the bounce or after the bounce but 2 bounces and you have lost the point. they both use points in scoring but differently. both great games to play and good for fitness

In the table tennis rules is it fault if the bat touched the surface of the table?

It's OK if your bat hits the table when you are playing your shot. The only time it would be a problem is if you moved the table at the same time. If you move the table, you lose the point. The official name for a bat is a racket, but it's called a paddle or a bat by some people.
