after watching killerspin on espn 2, ive suddenly found a love for ping pong. i just put down some green on a nice butterfly paddle on ebay, and ive been playing at my local rec center and im starting to get my spins and loops down.

anyone else play ping pong and know any good resources i can check out to get better?

Just practice practice practice.

Find a partner or a wall and practice your serve so you can get a good one and observe the effects of different spins on the return serve. (If you do a nice top spin serve, the return hit will be hit farther and likely to result in a hit off the table)

Much better game with beer on the table. (But what isn't?)

a wicked slice is also a very effective serve.
