Good question! I would have to agree with you... probably TT since the ball is so light... requiring the greatest feel and touch...

I agree with TT and golf. I think golf is more technique oriented while TT demands a more sensitive touch. I'm also pretty new to golf-- just started playing last June-- and it's much harder to become proficient at than TT.
One of my favorite quotes about golf--
"Golf is a game of misses, and the winners are those who have the best misses."
Kathy Whitworth.

Tennis used to be one of my favourite sport's and players like Henri Leconte, John Mcenroe and Pat Cash had an exellent touch. Still, the court the play on is rather big and allows for some minor errors in the touch.
.......
What are your thought on this?


Sorry , but now the tennis is more advanced. Almost no one is playing like Mac or Pat Cash anymore. Now the tennis is more like table tennis - take Federer or Nadal forehands as an example . The spin is awesome.

I seriously doubt the spin will anything like that in table tennis though.

I am playing tennis too , now I am in pause as for a long period table tennis is more important for me, but I played a lot of tennis and I know what I'm saying. Even the forehand loop from table tennis (european way) is very much the same as in tennis. Just take a look:

Of course the materials are different (the spin is not exactly the same ) but :

Quote:
Sergi Bruguera, is know as a player who utilizes a lot of topspin. His topspin forehand shot was recorded at an incredible rate that averaged over 3300rpm. In men's pro tennis it normally takes about 1 and 1/3 seconds for the ball to travel from one player’s racket to the other in a baseline exchange. In the case of Sergi Bruguera's forehand, this means the ball is turning over itself 70 to 80 times as it travels to his opponent!


And add the fact that sometime they are playing on clay or grass - non smooth surface - enough difficult to play.
