Good history and always nice to see these clips. But I think you went a little fast through the 50s, when one of the biggest revolutions occured: the introduction of "backside" rackets, where the traditional pimple was turned towards the wood and the player could use the flat surface to impart a lot more spin - it totally changed the game. There are even a lot of changes in the last couple years: besides play getting faster and faster, the backhand has become the dominant stroke. The level of play of the top players is mind-boggling.
nice video on rule and equipment changes, but didn't get into extremely pivotal moments such as the rise of Chinese dominance, Waldner, Ma Long 2x Olympic gold, and the penhold and Seemiller grips.
On the colour mandate of Black & Red - more correctly the 1st rule change was to have two distinct colours which then had some players using a combo of say orange & red or blue & black so the rule was made stricter and mandated the black & red rubber rule. I know this is correct because I did use a red/orange combo of Butterfly Sriver red & TSP Imperial orange in 1983. Thanks for your history of the game.
The video only covered the equipment and rules development and changes. It lacks an equally important aspect: the evolution of technique and playing tactics. It could also include the main power house(countries) and changes through out its history.
I quit for a time playing the 40mm Celluloid balls, starting again on the 40+mm ABS balls felt weird, the balls felt softer these days and I kept getting hitting the ball with the edge of my racket...
Ya, know what you mean, but the celluloid balls in the 2,000's and back were 38mm I believe . They definately were a better striking ball and had a better 'sound' The International Table Tennis Federation moved towards more 'fairness' and 'parity' because of the worlds Chinese dominance by making the balls larger and out of plastic with less spin characteristics., so there you go, for better or worse.

Hmmmm, for a great number of years I have been under the influence that Gergely and Klampar were the ones that discovered the speed glue affect (not Surbeck) during a practice session when one of them was changing rubber and they had run out of glue and that Klampar was the first to use it in competition.
Interesting but the fact is table tennis started in India. The British took tennis inside because of the heat. Then they brought the game back to England.
@@yongdeng1813That's how we know it all the time in the Non-Anglo world. The most advanced players call it 乒乓 Pīngpāng, Greek Πινγκ πονγκ, Hindi पिंग पोंग ping pong.
'Ping Pong'? It's TABLE TENNIS, the more professional and propper technical name. Ping pong is for casual non serious 😮garage duff players. Robert at 68.
Your a Mongolian peasant on a wooden table in Tibet playing 'ping pong' or in Bulgaria in a state run rec club wishing to be the next Darko Jorgic..LOL!! @@DimitarBerberu
At the beginning, they said that the game originated in England, but a map was shown with four countries coloured in??? Also, all the players names were pronounced incorrectly.
Fun, but a superficial history. No mention of sandpaper racquets? 🤔 Or China's political/cultural dedication to become dominant in the sport? Or the whole "ping-pong diplomacy" drama that opened up the impasse between China-USA/Mao-Nixon? There's a lot here left unsaid...
Hey Everyone! We tried something different in this video with the style and format. If you like this type of content, please like the video!

Very good point. Thank you for the feedback!
That’s true!

Hi there, thanks for watching! We couldn't cover everything in this video, but will have upcoming videos on these topics :)
Ma Long isn't a pivotal figure at all.
@@dickn.ormous1064the undisputed greatest player of all time not pivotal? Ok. 😂
Love this type of content! Keep it coming 🎉

i heard if you type three table tennis emojis you get pinned 🏓 🏓 🏓
imagine if this works

In 2004 Grubba was diagnosed with lung cancer, he died in 2005. He did not smoke. Speed glue was banned in the same year. Coincidence?
Evolution of table tennis stopped right after Bruce Lee smashed forehand and backhand with his nunchaku
Can I know, the history of pimple rubber?
Like short, medium, long pimple rubber from where, made from where the first company?
Ping Pong is great fastest game. 1h immersive exercise is like 2 weeks of pathetic non-engaging Cricket.
If it is fast then it shouldn’t be called ping pong. It is TABLE TENNIS!! Com’on ,know the game🙄
