There is no difference between Table Tennis and ping pong. Table tennis and ping pong are just different names for the same sport.
Table tennis is the official name for the sport, but when it was first invented it's popular name was ping pong. This is due to the sound the objects they used for bats would make.
AnswerTable Tennis is the name of the sport played. That is why there isn't ping pong in the Olympics. Ping Pong is a brand name that has since become interchangable with the word table tennis in the United States. There are ping pong tables which are used to play table tennis (the brand ping pong) and table tennis tables which are essentially the same thing.
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.
Ping Pong is still a trademark and is a brand of equipment in the USA which is used to play the sport of table tennis.
