Which unit do you use to measure table tennis table?
The International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) started in 1926 and the Laws of Table Tennis included all measurements in imperial units only (feet and inches).
In 1937, the metric (metres, centimetres & millimetres) equivalent were added alongside the imperial measurements.
In 1947, the metric measurements were made the primary units of measurement with imperial measurements secondary.
