Hmm. As cool as some of these look, I don’t know how practical they are. I do love Ping Pong though!

Funny design, but not too practice =P

As much as these are neat works of art, this has unfortunately earned the “most useless of Toxel” award.

Functionality and practicality come before aesthetic value

I think they would actually be kind of fun to try out. Kind of like miniature golf – not real golf, but golf with a twist.

they are a waste

Wow, I am amazed at the number of negative comments. I think these designs look fantastic, and I would love to try playing on them. Why stick to the old version of ping pong, invent something new and amazing!

this look creative, though i don’t really know how to use some of them!

some would require 3+ players, or teams.
but still be fun.
what is the one with the yellow straps made of?

Everyone seems to me to have missed the point, these are clearly not functional designs for really playing a game of ping-pong, but works of art which highlight how closely tied to function something as simple as a blue table with a line on it has in our minds.
Perbos succeeded in getting everyone here questioning that concept, tho, I guess.

the first few are useless but the last two, the hanging one and the pipe one, might actually work.

wouldn’t mind trying to have a game on that cylinder one that could be quite fun.

lets focus on the tube for a second (the last one)… i am so excited i cant even think of a sentence that convey how awesome that is, so i will just pick some of my favorite words… awesome, sweet, pongtastic, badarss, shibby, and last but not least… zoinks.

The game of table tennis is fast enough without turning it into a science experiment.

People need to lighten up. It’s just a game and games are meant to be FUN and this surely qualifies for that, BIG TIME!

as long as we have not played on any of them we can’t say they are useless or what..

The pipe one is great. You could play on all of these as well. Don’t discriminate because they are different!

designs are stupid. agree with the functional argument

@ M, that Monster Pong looks so cool!
And guys… these are conceptual art pieces, not functional designs. Although I’d love to try the cylinder one!!

Did anyone notice that on the fith table, the part that curves up turns into a basketball hoop, and the part that goes down is a skate ramp!

My god I’ve actually dreamt about this! Mine was a 2 storey 4 player table tennis table with a kinda air-vent type thing in the middle! I’d love to have a game on the circular table though!
Nice!

i actually have made a copy of the cylindrical table as a project and have played on it and it is actually a very fun challenge to play
