Several types of racquet sports exist worldwide such as Badminton, Lawn Tennis, Racquetball, Squash and of course Table Tennis also know as "Ping Pong", which obviously stands out with 2 basic differences: the use of a table as court, and the racquets being netless.

Between other outstanding differences, the ball, which is hollow and lighter; and when it comes to the skill set, Table Tennis requires faster reactions and reflexes from the players due the short distance and the ball speed, while other raqcuet sports are more about endurance.
