Table tennis is NOT for everyone.
You do not need the superior reflexes of an Olympic tabletennis athlete or foot speed of a 100m sprinter but if you do not have minimal hand eye coordination, tabletennis won't be a fun experience for you or even for exercise.
Additionally, tabletennis for better or worse is one of the most complex individual sport thre is even at lowest speeds & lowest spins.
Don't misread what I am saying. Age or physical handcap does not limit one from being an excellent player.
What I am saying is that tabletennis players & ITTF etc should be honest about tableetnnis being a difficult sport & stop spreading lies claiming anyone can play tabletennis. Almost anyone can play a basement silly game of ping pong but that is far from tabletennis.
