"Exocat" wrote in message ... Not exactly. I'd forgotten what the implements were called, but was reminded during the recent Olympics that they're bats for Table Tennis, racquets for Lawn Tennis. If you tried using a proper paddle, as used in Canoeing, you'd probably demolish the entire garage. :-) Purrs Gordon & the TT It might be an English thing, Gordon. I call them bats, too, although they aren't anything like cricket bats or baseball bats.. Perhaps paddle is a better word to describe them. Tweed |

Is Table Tennis the same thing as Ping Pong? Is that maybe why the thingies you hit the ball with are called bats in one and paddles in the other, or is it just a colloquialism? Hugs, CatNipped |
