    air hockey, because as hard as you may hit the ping pong ball, it only goes so fast...

    With all of the Pong balls that have been crushed, only to have us looking at the paddles thinking "did I do that?"....I'll go with Air Hockey.

    Ping pong because you can do nut shots.

    Ping Pong if I'm wanting to play a competitive game...I can't play it just for fun.

    But for fun, the girls like Air Hockey better.

    There is no way i'm going to be able to make up my mind by March 6th -- too many variables to consider.

    Air hockey is for younger kids, while TT is for younger adults.

    Ping Pong and it's not even close.

    Air Hockey when I'm with the gf though. I always look stupid when I play it and I hardly ever win.

    I played AH at the UC underground once and this guy showed up claiming he was like a pro or something and there are actually tricks and strategies in the game. I laughed at his face. Then he beat me like 6-0 or something in like 30 seconds. Nerd...

    Ping pong by a mile. I can only play air hockey for 15-20 mins max before it gets old. Also, for some reason I really hate losing at air hockey. Don't know why.

    I used to play Ping Pong all the time back in the day, but it was under a black light (two 4 foot BL bulbs hanging over the table), with the rims of the paddles, the edges of the table, all the lines, the net, and the balls, of course, painted with black light paint. Talk about some trails! That is a riot, folks. Outside of the home, it was air hockey for me. There's just something about a pitcher of beer and an air hockey table that comes close to perfection, IMO.

    Doesn't get much more entertaining than making these sidespin shots in a match.

    Air Hockey is cool as a once in a while thing, but you can't get as serious about it as you can Ping Pong.
