Interview

Hello this is Jason Elkins from Mrs. Persen's sixth period class and today im interviewing Dennis Glassmeyer who ive known for about five or six years and been playin ping pong with hime for about a year. Today i will ask him some questions to see how he feels about the game of ping pong.

       1)      Q.  Whats your favorite size ping pong ball to play with?

                        A. My favorite size ball in diameter to play with would have to be 38 mm.

       2)      Q.  Would you rather play with a mesh paddle or a foam paddle?

                        A. I would rather play with a foam paddle because the ball is returned at a slower acceleration.

       3)      Q.  Do you ever want to try to become a professional table tennis player?

            A. No, because I would much rather play it as a hobbie and have fun than to turn it into a living.

       4)      Q.  Why do you enjoy playing ping pong?

                        A.    I enjoy playing ping pong because its fun and can get pretty intense.

       5)      Q.  What is your dominate hand and does it ever cause complication?

A.    My dominate hand is my right hand it doesn’t cause complication as long as u know how to do a back hand serve for when the serve it on your left side.

       6)      Q. Do you have any special rituals or anything you like to do before you start?

A.        Actually yes I have a lucky ping pong ball that I wont play without.


 7)      Q. Would you rather play ping pong inside or outside?

                        A.I would rather play ping pong inside because you cant have any elements corrupting your game such as wind or anything.

8)       Q. Do you have any brands that you prefer?

A.    Yes I prefer to play with a brand called Panda’s paddles.

9)       Q. Does it matter what kind of paddle you play with?

A.    Yes, it does matter what kind of paddle you use because different companies use different materials to function in different styles so a player can choose what they prefer.

10)      Q. Is there different styles of ping pong tables?

A.    Yes there are different styles of ping pong tables such as a butterfly table or a stiga roller.

Basically ping pong has a lot more to it than just hitting a ball over a net, ping pong takes a lot of time and effort to get good. It takes a lot of practice and learn how to do tricks to fool the opposite player.
