We investigated the impact of the net height to the table tennis game by statistically observing 7 parameters across the 5 net heights within the 6 sets played at each net height. Additionally, we observed 2 parameters within the three rally parts (the service, the return, the rest of the rally) using about 100 rallies played at each of the 5 net heights in order to determine which part of the rally is affected the most. We used the descriptive and the inferential statistics and in both cases only the impact on the ball height and speed above the net at the service was observed. No significant differences either at the set-level or at the rally-level in any of the other measured parameters across the five net heights were determined.
