Vision Impaired Table Tennis (also known as Swish) is like playing table tennis, but instead of hitting a ball over the net, the ball is hit under the net and must travel along the surface of the table. The net is solid wall, at a certain height so that those players with various degrees of sight do not have an advantage over blind players. The ball has bells in it to make it audible and it is about the size of a tennis ball and made of plastic with holes in it; and the bat is rectangular with a handle.

Tadvic has made 7 Swish tables, evolving into sound design.
The effort involved and the space necessary for a construction has led Tadvic to the decision that we will make no more than one table a year.
We are happy to share our design and construction notes with anyone wishing to make a Swish Table. Please email or call us. (Contact details below)
