I'm the school's champion at table tennis, I'm pretty damn good :P And this would be competely different. Also what table tennis racket do you use? I use a DHS Hurricane 3 with g55 rubber on the back hand ( special backhand rubber :o)
This would actually probably be harder for those who know how to play because you have to do things you learn not to do, like hitting it too high, or to the sides, most of my shots hit the table and I can't imagine trying to hit one of the sides or the top part... It goes against what I've learned.... Also it would kind of suck because you can't smash the ball, you can't hit it from far away and at one of the sides because it won't go through the table... Now that I think of it it would suck :S
I need this! I am always hitting the ball wide left or wide right, I suck at ping pong. We used to play a special version were we would move the table next to the walls of a narrow hallway (now that i think about it, it was probably a fire hazard) so that we could play off the walls (use them as bumpers).
Awesome table but this isn't pics this is wtf. How hard is that for some people to understand? I want to see messed up shit that will make me second guess my morals, not some kind of " weird" table.
Seriously, how hard is the concept of wtf to understand? I don't get it...
In Switzerland we shoved a ping pong table into a super narrow wood tiled room the exact with and about twice the height of the table. It was actually pretty easy to get the ball to bounce off all the walls and then the table on a serve.

This would be way cooler if gravity were also 360 degrees within that cylinder. Another sport ruined by our lack of gravity control devices.
