Written by: Lucas M, reporter in ISFM

In 1890, David Foster invented the first version of tennis on a table. The first ping-pong rackets

were made of parchment as the hitting surface,and a long stick of wood. People played

It was a family game after dinner. Now-a-days, ping-pong rackets are smaller in size, and they’re

made of a rubber hitting surface and a decently smaller Wooden stick and a wood under-surface layered under the rubber one. The ping-pong balls were and still are made of

celluloid. Back-in-the-day, ping-pong nets were made of yellow copper. This is how table-

tennis works, how it began, and how the equipment is and was made.
