Otherwise, you will lose if you are always standing there with blank mind of not knowing what to do.<br /><br />Basket ball is a game of skill and team work. That's the biggest key in winning the game.

Applying the same strategy also does not work most of the time because your opponent can easily devise a counter plan.<br /><br />In basket ball, the coach is the one responsible for his team.

These measurements are already indicated on the post and mentioned by other previous commenters above.<br /><br />The only possible reason that I can come up why you view the table as small in size from your television set was the camera angle. Probably, the angle was set for a long shot behind the player. Thus, it creates an optical illusion of the table being small.Lim Skutsynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7856129982080716063.post-41444064557450195272014-10-18T21:52:21.804-07:002014-10-18T21:52:21.804-07:00When I was watching a table tennis competition bet...When I was watching a table tennis competition between a Korean versus a Russian player, I find it that the table they use seems to be small.<br /><br />With my gained interest of wanting to play table tennis, I went to the store to buy myself a table.

I myself also do enjoy playing ping pong in which I consider it as my daily physical exercise.<br /><br />Just to answer the question above, I made a research and here's what I found out.<br /><br />The diameter of a ping pong table used to be 38 mm but ITTF had made recent changes increasing the diameter of the ball to 40 mm. As for the diameter of the golf balls, it is exactly 1.680 inches or 42.67 millimeter. Thus, they are not equal in size.<br /><br />I hope this helps.Juliet Heathernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7856129982080716063.post-37879955642920365452014-10-18T21:30:41.694-07:002014-10-18T21:30:41.694-07:00Since somebody had mentioned here about the ping p...Since somebody had mentioned here about the ping pong ball, it came across my mind the curiosity if golf balls do have similar size as the ping pong balls.
