ABSTRACT:
A table top to be used in games of table tennis and the like. The table top is convex in one or more directions. The convexity provides a deflection bias to a ball in play so that the post-bounce trajectory has more horizontal velocity and less vertical velocity than would be present had it bounced off of a flat or concave surface. This deflection bias increases near the edges of the table. As a general rule, the more challenging a ball's pre-bounce trajectory is, the closer it bounces to the edge of the table, because it is already travelling low and fast. Thus, the more challenging a ball's trajectory is, the more deflection bias is provided, resulting in an even more challenging trajectory. This serves to accelerate the game, always making it more and more challenging, and adds elements of sportsmanship, competition, and strategy.
