  • ACROSS the NET Melton Table Tennis May 2020 Edition 56
    ACROSS THE NET Melton Table Tennis May 2020 Edition 56 NOT MUCH TO SAY, REALLY I spoke to a doctor last night, and she said that she was hopeful of the virus being eradicated very soon. Mind you, she’s a doctor of music, but it was nice to get some good news. In this edition, we look back over 6 years of previous editions and hope that there is a reason to write future editions. COVID-19 UPDATE Well, we are still in the grips of a lockdown. It’s tough on many of us, driving us crazy and leaving us with a feeling of hopelessness. It’s like umpiring a best-of-5 match between two defenders. You know it’s going to end sometime; you just don’t know if you can hang on until then. But hang tough, my friends. We will get through this. As you know, both of our venues are currently closed. We have had no word on when these are likely to re- open, so it’s just a waiting game. When we hear that the restrictions are going to be eased, your committee will need to meet to discuss how and when we can get back to playing. We’ll obviously keep you informed. The best you can do in the meantime is follow the medical advice given, look after each other, and stay safe. Until then, I thought I’d put together some of my favourite articles from the past 6 years of Across The Net, just to give you something to read while you wait for better times ahead.

  • Historie Stolní Tenis Vznikl Ve Druhé Polovině Devatenáctého Století Jako
    Historie Stolní tenis vznikl ve druhé polovině devatenáctého století jako společenská hra přenesením tenisu do sálového prostředí. Původně jako pálky sloužily třeba krabice na doutníky, míčky byly zakulacené korkové zátky nebo gumové míčky a místo síťky posloužila řada knih. První pravidla byla vydána v roce 1884 – Miniature Indoor Lawn Tennis Game. Důležitou roli sehrál Angličan James W Gibb, který v 90. let 19. století přivezl z obchodní cesty celuloidový míček a zasadil se o jeho rozšíření a používání od roku 1900. Další převratnou inovací na začátku 20. století bylo používání rakety s vroubkovanou gumou. V tomto období se stolní tenis rozšířil do střední Evropy a oblíbenost hry zvané také ping-pong rostla. Dne 18.3.1925 byl v Praze založen Ústřední výbor ping-pongový, který byl o rok později přejmenován na Československou tabletennisovou asociaci, která se právě v roce 1926 stala jedním za zakládajících členů Mezinárodní federace stolního tenisu (ITTF). V témže roce se konalo první mistrovství světa. Československo se stalo jednou ze světových velmocí i díky Bohumilu Váňovi, který získal na mistrovstvích světa celkem 30 medailí, z toho 16 zlatých, navíc v období na dlouho přerušeném II. světovou válkou. Z období nejvýznamnějších úspěchů v naší historii (období 1939-1951 je údajně nazýváno „československé“) si připomeňme i další osobnosti jako Stanislav Kolář, Marie Kettnerová, Vlasta Depetrisová, Ivan Andreadis, Ladislav Štípek, Adolf Šlár. V padesátých letech se stolní tenis dál rozšiřuje, mezinárodní konkurence roste, přesto ještě v roce 1957 vyhráli na mistrovství světa čtyřhru Andreadis-Štípek. Padesátá léta jsou známé nástupem asijských hráčů a používání houbových potahů (proto v roce 1959 přistoupila ITTF ke standardizaci pálky).

    The Spirit of Pong by Larry Hodges Copyright 2015 v07-03-15 Cover Illustration by Mike Mezyan of Mezyantt.com Bonus Short Story at End Ping-Pong Ambition The Spirit of Pong Dedication To table tennis players everywhere. Especially the spirited ones. 2 The Spirit of Pong Introduction This story was many years in the almost-making. I’m a professional table tennis coach & writer, and a professional science fiction & fantasy writer. What could be more natural than combining these two? Just about anything else. Let’s face it. Most stories about table tennis use the sport as a punch line. How could anyone take ping-pong seriously? But how about the Olympic Sport of Table Tennis? They really are the same thing, and you can call it either one. I actually like the stories that make fun of the sport! Those who know our sport know better. Those who don’t—well, why not take a quick trip to www.youtube.com, search for “Olympic Table Tennis,” and see what comes up? I’ve always wanted to combine the two, but it’s not easy finding a mix. I did write and sell “Ping-Pong Ambition,” the bonus short story at the end of this book. But I wanted something more serious. And then, one day, I mused over the idea of an American going to China to learn the secrets of table tennis . and this story was the result. This is not a conventional story, this is a fantasy. You will meet the spirits of a number of the past greats of our sport, and even the spirits of “what made them great” for some current and living players.

With only 2 weeks left in the Winter season, we will soon be battling it out in the finals. After that, we have the 3 weeks that everyone looks forward to. 2018 MTTA CLUB CHAMPIONSHIPS Our thoughts should now turn to the annual Club Championships coming up in August. Some players choose not to attend these nights, thinking that they’re not good enough to challenge for the honours. Nothing could be further from the truth. The Club Championships are designed to provide a level playing field for all club members. Week 1 on the 2nd of August is the Handicap Championship. Every player has a chance of winning this, regardless of your standing in the club. Each player is given a handicap ranking and matches are played up to 31 points. Some top players may start on 0 or even a negative points score, while the lower rated players may start on up to 25 points.
