Hexagonal multi-player table tennis table
Hexapong table tennis table for highly competitive extreme players
The hexagonal shape of the table tennis table, unique point value scoring areas and movable nets means that Hexapong has something for every player. Hexapong has simple attachments that enable the table to be a conventional rectangular table configuration. When you've got a group of table tennis players who enjoy team sports, Hexapong can be setup for two on two or three on three game action. If you're a highly competitive table tennis player, you can even take on two or five players at one time.
The Hexapong table tennis table requires little effort to move around since it sits on built-in wheels. The flexible nets are spring loaded and can be easily snapped into and out of place. Just like any other table tennis table, the Hexapong folds to maximize space when storing.
This table tennis table is mainly designed for the less serious players of the game but for all you wizards out there in the table tennis world that feel you're at the top of your game you should try challenging a few players and let your skills shine. The Hexapong table tennis game would even be a super fun activity for parties, permitted you have the room. Set this bad boy up and you'll have both men and women, young and old laughing for hours....and if you're serving alcohol at that party, you know the rest.

Hello:
I am Guy Allen, the inventor of Hexapong. I was searching the internet for new articles on Hexapong and came across your blog regarding Hexapong.
I want to thank you for your nice article about Hexapong. Very few people get what I’m trying to convey with this new game. Hexapong was not created to replace the traditional game of table tennis, but to show more of an extertaining way for more people to play at one time.
We did have trouble getting the avid table tennis players to play. Obviously, they were there to compete in their sport and not mess around. We have had players get quite upset and be very negative about Hexapong, but the open minded and young people really seem to have fun. We have had several rated players play the game and you can see them at www.youtube.com and search for Hexapong.
You hit the nail on the head when you said: “This table tennis table is mainly designed for the less serious players of the game but for all you wizards out there in the table tennis world that feel you're at the top of your game you should try challenging a few players and let your skills shine.

We are still trying to find the right venue for this exciting game, so thanks again for your article on the game.
Sincerely,
Guy & Vicki Allen

Right on thanks for your comments. Living here in Las Vegas I would think that table would do well in club like establishments and also the table would do well in bars out here...some of them already have traditional table tennis tables installed and they break them out on nights when there's no dancing or bands playing.

That suggestion has been made to me before. The wife and I don't do the club and bars anymore so I've just been a little apprehensive about approaching club and bars for fear of what alcohol does to people. I do have to admit alcohol does add a different dimension to the game. So this might be a venue I need to pursue.
For the establishment that you have seen with tables in place, do you think the owner(s)have any problems when the tables are out?

So far there have only been a few places around town that I have seen table tennis tables at. I've played at a few bars that break out the tables on slower nights. They've used the dance floor for the table tennis table.
I'd asked you when you were in Vegas at the Nationals if you had an affiliate program set up for your Hexapong table. You should really put one in place.

I remember you. You even explained how the program would work.
Until I can get more people aware that Hexapong exist I can't afford to get into any programs. As it stands some veteran players are insulted by my table and most veterans players are to serious about table tennis to have a little fun playing pingpong even after they're eliminated from the tournament events.

Hello Guy, I am Austin's brother Topshot. Hexapong is a great idea it will attract new people to the sport and that is what the game needs. In the last couple of years, table tennis in Las Vegas has took off and now I am seeing new faces at my club everyday. You are the first of many people to come, to add more fun in table tennis.
Don't worry about those cranky uptight people who didn't like Hexapong at first give it time they will eventually come around......Thanks an Good luck to you.
