Table Tennis
Choose a country for your side of a 3D table. You can practise against the computer or meet another player online. The serve and the return are different shots: save your spin experiment for the rally.
How to play
Your objective
Win two sets. Each set is played to at least 11 points with a lead of two; at 10–10 a single point cannot finish it.
Controls
- Track the ball with the pointer, a touch drag, A/D or the left/right arrows. Click, hold a touch or use Space to swing.
- Choose spin with 1–5: flat, topspin, backspin, left and right. J/K/L aim left, centre and right; the on-screen buttons do the same.
Serve flat, then try a topspin return
Set aim to centre and leave power near the middle. When it is your serve, click or press Space. The ball bounces on your half before crossing the net.
For the return, choose 2 for topspin. Move sideways to meet the ball after it bounces on your half, then swing as it reaches the paddle.
Watch the ball dip and then run on after the bounce. Try the same target with 3 for backspin and compare the slower rebound.
Player tip
If you keep missing, line up the paddle first. A perfectly chosen spin cannot rescue a ball that passes outside striking distance.
