Hi! Many people know ping-pong. It's the game that is usually played with an opponent, with plastic paddles in hand that made the distinctive noises when a ball was struck. A fun game, But ping-pong also has a real Olympic sport behind it. Ping Pong can be classified as the most played sport in the world, with millions of participants, major tournaments, and many other things that make a sport truly a class of its own. Evolving a parlour game into an Olympic sport is no easy task, but that’s exactly what has happened with Ping Pong thanks to Jaques of London. Originally named Gossima, the game was modified into the athletic sport we all recognise today by John Jaques III in 1901 and is now the world’s most popular racquet sport.
To this day, Jaques of London continue to provide some of the highest quality ping pong and table tennis equipment available, including tables, racquets and nets. Whether you are a professional player or a casual enthusiast, Jaques of London’s table tennis equipment is the ideal choice. Jaques moved their offices, showroom and distribution warehouse to new premises in Edenbridge in 2000 as the company continued to expand. In 2002 the Thrornton Heath Cabinet shop also moved over to Edenbridge, completing on their second move in 150 years of Croquet production at Jaques. The 'House of Jaques' continues to expand as demand for Jaques' products continue to increase around the world. Thanks.
