Answer 3

Ping Pong is different to Table tennis.



Ping pong involves hitting the ball on your side first. Table tennis is hitting the ball directly over the net.



Ping pong is a child's term, and is used incorrectly very often. Also, table tennis is an Olympic and Commonwealth Games sport.Ping pong is not. Thus, a game rather than a sport. TT can be played competitively, but to my knowledge PP is not.
