Teqball

This is a sport – it’s kind of like ping pong, but it’s played on a curved table, with a larger ball, and you can only use your feet. (So, perhaps it’s nothing like ping pong?)

It was invented in Hungary in 2012, so it’s quite new. It’s gradually being adopted around the world, and there’s a small professional league.
