Ping-Pong is what you play in your basement. Table Tennis is the name of the Sport..... It's kind of like Hoops and Basketball

I think Ping Pong is a trade-name, whilst table tennis is the generic name for the game/sport.

Same thing as far as I'm aware. You play table-tennis with a ping-pong ball.

Who's to say one name is better than the other? There's no judge or jury. So, it depends on who you asks? Yes, I would say it's called ping pong, but someone asks might say it's table tennis. It don't really matter as we both playing the same game and know what we're referring too.

Ping Pong was created as a brand name for the game rather like a Hoover is just a brand name for a vacuum cleaner.

Ping pong bounces once on each side before being hit i.e. hit - bounce - over net - bounce - hit - bounce - over net - bounce - hit - bounce - over net - bounce - hit - into net? etc.
Table tennis is like real tennis, innit?
