A Fantastic New Idea

Eighty years ago, Mr. Goode of Putney, South London, went to the chemist’s to buy some aspirin. In the shop, he almost forgot about his tablets as he stood looking at the pimpled rubber mat on the counter. It had given him a fantastic new idea.

He paid for his aspirin and the rubber mat. Then he rushed home, cut the rubber mat to the right shape and size and stuck it to his wooden table tennis paddle. The thin layer of rubber helped him put a very fast spin on the ball. When he became the English champion, everyone started copying him, putting a rubber layer on their paddles, and soon Mr. Goode’s clever idea completely changed the style and speed of table tennis.

Table tennis was first invented in England in about 1880. At first the game had several strange names: Gossima, Whiff Whaff and Ping Pong. It wasn’t until 1926 that the international Table Tennis Association was formed with an international championship and rules. One of the rules was that the rubber lining of the paddle (Mr. Goode’s invention) couldn’t be more than two millimeters thick on each side.

Notes:

pimpled rubber mat - резиновый коврик

tennis paddle - теннисная ракетка

to put a fast spin - совершать быстрое вращение

lining - обновка
