Initially, it was created as an indoor pastime for the upper class, inspired by tennis but on a smaller scale. The name &quot;ping pong&quot; also comes from the sound made when the ball hits the racket and the table. Table tennis quickly spread and became popular worldwide. By the early 20th century, the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) was established, marking a significant turning point in the professionalization of this sport.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"cac-dung-cu-can-co-de-thi-dau-bong-ban\"><\/span><strong>Equipment needed for playing table tennis<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To play table tennis, you need the following basic and essential equipment:<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"ban-bong-ban\"><\/span><strong>Table tennis table<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A table tennis table is a rectangular surface, made of wood or similar material, typically with international standard dimensions of 2.74m x 1.525m.
