My parents had a pool table that we always had a huge piece of ply wood on because we all liked to and rather play pink pong. So we would create our own ping pong table. They are just so fun to have and play with. I was not all that great but it sure gave us something to do when we were completely bored. And sure they have those Wii viedeo games now but there is nothing like playing the real game in my opinion.
