ABSTRACT:
A table tennis training device comprises a frame (10) extending the width of the table and having a pliant screen (28) associated therewith to provide a back stop for table tennis balls. A wall (18) of L-shape cross-section is attached to and extends between frame (10), and has a series of alternate rises and falls in its base portion. A table tennis ball projecting device attached to frame (10) comprises a source of compressed air having first and second outlets. The first outlet is in operative communication with a first type ejector tube (42) having foot-operated means for regulating the entry of balls therein. The second outlet is in operative communication with a plurality of second type ejector tubes (66) extending through wall (18) and located to correspond to the gully formed between adjacent falls of the base portion. Each tube (66) can be variably angled relative to the table and is provided with a downwardly opening aperture in its peripheral wall disposed proximally above the corresponding base portion gully.
