Wtf? Ping pong doesn't have anything to do with being good at standup, it has to do with being good at tennis! Chances are if you're good at tennis, you'll be good at ping pong.

And your second theory is ridiculous as well.
One of my trainer's favorite hobbies is playing Table Tennis. He likes the fast hand-eye coordination required, and how fast you have to think to be good at it. He equates it to placing jabs well.

I play pretty good and challenged him, his eyes lit up.

You use the same basic swing motions to spin the ball certain ways, just with a smaller swing. When I was on the tennis team in high school, everyone on the tennis team was also great at ping pong, though anyone hardly every played.
