We may have inadvertently started the trend by creating such serious competition last year during the <a href="http://tabletennisnation.com/the-table-tennis-world/giving-out-medals-for-the-best-olympic-table-tennis-commercials/">Olympics</a> and the <a href="http://tabletennisnation.com/news/best-of-2012-best-ping-pong-commercials-of-the-year/">end the year</a>, but we have to give credit to the advertisers who have stepped their table tennis ping pong game up. </p>
<p>Today, Just for Men joins the party. </p>

<p>Just for Men helps men from getting grey hair, and the new product they&#8217;re pushing is Autostop a beard/hair product that stops changing color at the right time. Just for Men may not be the first men&#8217;s <a href="http://tabletennisnation.com/the-table-tennis-world/new-ping-pong-commercials-old-navy-and-bosley/">hair product to use ping pong in their commercial</a>, or the first <a href="http://tabletennisnation.com/the-table-tennis-world/degree-deodorant-commercial-features-ping-pong/">men&#8217;s hygiene product to incorporate table tennis</a>, but something about those <a href="http://tabletennisnation.com/the-table-tennis-world/warren-buffett-to-16-year-old-ping-pong-champ-bring-it-again/">Warren Buffet-esque paddles</a> (or <a href="http://tabletennisnation.com/the-table-tennis-world/giant-chanel-ping-pong-paddle/">Chanel</a>) makes us happy. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Taiwanese team of Chuang Chih-yuan and Chen Chien-an defeated the Chinese team of <a href="http://tabletennisnation.com/the-table-tennis-world/chicago-international-table-tennis-festival/">Ma Lin</a> and Hao Shuai at the World Table Tennis Championships in Paris.</p>
<p>The win was a huge upset and was Taiwan&#8217;s first gold medal in the World Championships EVER (the country started competing in 1985).</p>
<p>Via the <a href="http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/front/archives/2013/05/21/2003562781">Taipei Times</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>“This is an important milestone in our table tennis history,” Chinese Taipei Table Tennis Association secretary-general Chen Ching-yen said.<br />
Chuang and Chen Chien-an toppled their formidable Chinese opponents, Ma Lin and Hao Shuai, 4-2 (9-11, 12-10, 11-6, 13-11, 9-11 and 11-8) to secure the title.<br />
Taiwan’s previous best result at the event had been a silver medal won by Chen Jing in the women’s singles 20 years ago.<br />
“This is the first time in our history, so this is a good result,” said 32-year-old Chuang, a veteran player who ranks sixth in the world. “We played well and did very well tactically, both serving and receiving.”<br />
Chuang was full of praise for his 21-year-old partner, Chen Chien-an.<br />
“I think [he] is a very tactical player, he’s powerful and I play well with him,” the right-hander said.</p></blockquote>
<p>Ma Lin is now quitting the Chinese National team as a result, &#8220;I think [I] will quit the national team of China because at my age I have to rethink my career and my life, but for now I don’t have any exact information. I don’t have the exact plans.&#8221; Ma Lin is only 34.</p>
<p>The loss prevented China from getting its eleventh consecutive doubles title at the World Championships. </p>
<p>Don&#8217;t feel too bad for China though, they won <a href="http://tabletennisnation.com/the-table-tennis-world/china-wins-team-gold-medal-and-pretty-much-every-table-tennis-accolade-you-can-imagine/">everything else</a> at the World Championships (<a href="http://tabletennisnation.com/the-table-tennis-world/china-wins-team-gold-medal-and-pretty-much-every-table-tennis-accolade-you-can-imagine/">sound familiar?</a>).</p>
<p>You can check out some of the (not-so-exciting) &#8220;highlights&#8221; below.</p>

Since everyone likes ping pong, the sport seems like the perfect way to sell products and a lot of marketers (who also love ping pong) are taking notice&#8211;just this year we&#8217;ve seen ads from <a href="http://tabletennisnation.com/the-table-tennis-world/new-ping-pong-commercials-from-apple-and-5-hour-energy/">Apple</a>, <a href="http://tabletennisnation.com/technology/microsoft-windows-8-ad-featuring-butt-ping-pong-and-pianos/">Microsoft</a>, <a href="http://tabletennisnation.com/entertainment-news/michael-bolton-plays-ping-pong-for-optimum/">Optimum</a>, <a href="http://tabletennisnation.com/the-table-tennis-world/degree-deodorant-commercial-features-ping-pong/">Degree</a>, <a href="http://tabletennisnation.com/the-table-tennis-world/golfer-webb-simpson-stars-in-ping-pong-commercial-for-izod/">IZOD</a>, and <a href="http://tabletennisnation.com/?s=commercial">more</a>. Never, have we seen an ad with the absurdities, ridiculousness, and what-the-ping-pong-ness? of Powerful Yogurt&#8217;s new ad called &#8220;Ping Pong Man.&#8221;</p>
<p><iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/65184191" frameborder="0" width="500" height="281"></iframe></p>
<p><a href="http://vimeo.com/65184191">Powerful Yogurt &#8220;Ping Pong Man&#8221; by TDL Soundtracks</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/user8177358">TDL Soundtracks</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p>
<p>The ad by New York agency The Vidal Partnership encourages you to find your abs using Powerful Yogurt&#8211;a yogurt with extra protein. This is basically the <a href="http://tabletennisnation.com/entertainment-news/orange-caramel-ping-pong-music-video/">Orange Caramel &#8220;Lipstick&#8221;</a> of ping pong ads. We&#8217;re speechless.</p>
<p>If nothing else, look at all the awesome GIFs that come out of 30 seconds&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="http://tabletennisnation.com/the-table-tennis-world/powerful-yogurt-may-have-redefined-the-ping-pong-commercial-game/attachment/1jhpe/" rel="attachment wp-att-7830"><img title="Ab ping pong" src="http://tabletennisnation.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/1jhpe.gif" alt="Powerful yogurt" /></a></p>

<p>These are hilarious. Right? It&#8217;s not just us?</p>
<p>Would you rather play ping pong with your abs like Powerful Yogurt thinks you should, or <a href="http://tabletennisnation.com/technology/microsoft-windows-8-ad-featuring-butt-ping-pong-and-pianos/">with your butt the way Microsoft encouraged</a> it?</p>

He has <a href="http://tabletennisnation.com/sports/spanish-euro-2012-team-riding-ping-pong-into-the-semifinals/">Barcelona</a>, Chelsea, and Manchester City trying to get his rights. Neymar won&#8217;t be hurting for a career, but he doesn&#8217;t have ping pong to fall back on&#8230;</p>
<p>In a new video, Neymar tried his hand at table tennis and while his feet are quick on the pitch, but his hands are slow with a paddle, and his ball skills are great on the field, but not on the table. </p>

<p>The Google version of the game isn&#8217;t particularly hard but it is pretty fun. As you pass each level, Google does a new random image search and uses the preview images as the bricks you&#8217;re trying to break.</p>
<p>We&#8217;re not sure if this is as cool as <a href="http://tabletennisnation.com/the-table-tennis-world/free-ping-pong-paddle-to-the-fastest-google-hurdles-time-today/">Google&#8217;s Hurdles game</a>, but we&#8217;re giving away a free paddle to the top score of the day. <a href="http://facebook.com/tabletennisnation">Facebook</a>, <a href="http://twitter.com/ttnation">tweet</a>, or <a href="https://plus.google.com/u/1/b/101094401547037689205/101094401547037689205/posts">google plus</a> us your top score and you could win.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ll start things off with a nice 1395. Make sure when you send us a screenshot of your score you include the link in the image.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This Saturday, May 11, PaddleYou will be at the <a href="http://www.collectivedesignfair.com/">Collective Design Fair</a> on Pier 57 with  <a href="https://www.shopgreyarea.com/products/496-slice">Grey Area</a> to celebrate the introduction of a new ping pong table/art piece called &#8220;Slice&#8221; by <a href="http://www.snarkitecture.com/">Snarkitecture</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>An all black ping-pong table, Slice appears as a deceptively opaque landscape when viewed from its shorter ends and impossibly thin from its longer sides. The top is made from a single thin sheet of Richlite, an incredibly dense and durable eco friendly material. An undulating topography below this surface is described by a series of flat, solid layers made from flexible EPDM rubber and Richlite. While designed for indoor and outdoor table tennis, Slice can also be used as a conference or dining table.
</p></blockquote>
<p>You can come hang out on Pier 57 from 1-3 to see the beautiful table, amazing matching PaddleYou custom ping pong paddles designed by Grey Area and some awesome artists, and a tournament starring some of the biggest names in art at the Design Fair.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ll also be <a href="http://twitter.com/paddleyou">tweeting</a> and <a href="http://instagram.com/paddleyou">instagramming</a> the event, so make sure to check us out there.</p>
