Ahem, the proper name is "Table Tennis".

But yeah, I was watching this shit live online yesterday. It made me lol at work. I love when they serve because they like wind up hard core and then barely hit it.

The nasty spin they have its topspin thats all it is, its all because the grip of the paddle the penhold grip, allows players to put vicious topspin on the ball. I'm really into Table Tennis, i go to alot of tournaments all the time. Such a good sport, and so sick its an olympic sport.

Yeah badminton is actually a lot of fun, until a psycho asian comes along and crushes your soul with his tactical smashes and strategic contact placement

Badminton is so much fun (not the backyard "game", when you play it fo real) and it gets pretty hardcore in the Olympics. The birdie flies so fast, it's crazy. It suprised me how intense it is, like mens volleyball.
