[SportsandRec] ping pong

[Peter]

Good morning everyone,

	Perhaps beeping pool and ping-pong vballs could make the sports more doable for the blind. In the case of pool each ball would need to have a different frequency so they can be distinguished by a blind player. The Q Ball would need to have a unique sound of its own so it can be easily tracked.

Ashley, maybe not much help and I haven’t played in years as I moved from that location… Yet I had a table that would stand up on the other end straight up in the air so you could play against yourself all day and I had a neon green ping-pong ball. Great way to practice, yet you need that kind of table that can stand up as a backdrop or lay down for when you include someone else
