As I am now investigating Accessibility as an umbrella theme, I have taken onboard the Anomaly brief, "To encourage people to play Table Tennis".
Because I it would be very hard to demonstrate this sort of research on paper, I have decided to upload some footage on youtube of table tennis. what I am trying to find from this research is the excitement, the satisfaction from the sport. Like in football, its to do with how sweet someone can volley from the first touch, or in golf, that "click" when the club kisses the ball perfectly that you don't even feel any resistence from tee-ing off, or in basketball, when the ball falls through the hoop and makes the infamous "swoosh" sound.
What is it in table tennis?
It seems its obviously a sport cultured by people in oriental asia, not least to say I think peoplein the west are aware of that and are perhaps apprehensive of taking it up, just as the rest of the word recognise that American football is for Americans.
Pinning down the attractive aspect of the sport could be the spinning technique, using the rubber circular bat. This is significant. The style of swing is unlike any other sport, the body posture is very different, very low center of gravity and the ability to maintain hand eye coordination as such pace is incredible. It doesn't seem to be as physically demanding as most other sports, they look to be quick on their toes but not in sprinting bursts, just kind of tip-toeing. the Sound of squeeky nike trainers is significant to this too, like basketball arenas.
hmmm... Let the mystery unravel.
