Assistant: Ping pong is a fun and challenging sport to play -- I would recommend starting slowly and playing with someone else (or against a machine) since it’s not very useful to practice by playing alone. Ping pong also requires a lot of coordination and skill, so it's a good idea to take some lessons before you start trying to play on your own.

I also recommend trying to find a timer function (or use a stopwatch) so you can time your game sessions and improve over time. Now that you’re set up to practice, it’s time to get going – happy ping pong!

Human: How can I practice ping pong without a ping pong table?

Assistant: Ping pong is a good activity to practice because it’s a low-impact sport, so it’s easy on your joints even when you’re not playing competitively.  If you don’t have access to a ping pong table, you can also practice routines on a paddle board, a driveway, or even a regular table.

Alternate Ping Pong Table Surfaces

Ping pong on a paddle board: There are variations of paddle board tennis that are both alternative and popular choices for people who want to hit balls overhead but also be on water.  In this case, the paddle board is floating on the water, so you can just jump into the water or step off the board to hit the ball.  Paddle board tennis is also easy to play, even on moving water.  You just play the same rules as you would with a regular ping pong table. What do you think?
