Bullshooters billiards & Sport Bar at 3337 W. Peoria Avenue has been a long standing location for Billiards and Darts also hosting Off Track Betting (OTB) Horse wagering. Beginning April 10th 2022, Bullshooters has agreed to accommodate the placement of one Hexapong table in their establishment and will be available to interested Ping-Pong players to enjoy a NEW and DIFFERENT way of playing the game/sport of Ping-Pong. Food and refreshments are also available for purchase at the Bar.
This is a new twist on a traditional game table that has not change for decades. This table was developed to give an option to Ping Pong players and Table Tennis players that dare to move out of their comfort zone of a traditional table.
This table with its unique shape has caused wonder in the eyes of people seeing it for the first time. For those how have played Hexapong it has been an experience of enjoyment and enthusiasm on a whole new level of play and fun.
This ONE TABLE offers players a choice of seven (7) different games that can be played with two, three, four or six players. Unlike a traditional table with its one fixed net location, the nets on Hexapong can divide the table in half or thirds. By having this options and its hexagon shape players now engaged in games that are played outside of the box known as Ping Pong or Table Tennis.
It's not ping-pong, it's not table tennis, it's Hexapong. The world's 1st Xtreme table tennis.
"Take the game of ping-pong to a whole new level"
Welcome to Hexapong. As with any entrepreneur we look forward to growing a solid business that will stand the test of time and satisfy the buying consumer. Product research has shown it is not easy to compete against companies that have cornered a market for products that have become a traditional way of public perception.
Hexapong is a break from the traditional Table Tennis / Ping Pong® and is ready to take on the Big Boys with an innovative way of giving the consumer more Bang for the Buck.
Year after year Ping Pong table companies have tried to out do each other by coming out with new and different ways to entice Ping Pong players into buying their product. But the fact of the matter is “Its still the same rectangular table” made with new material, paint, legs or whatever, and still only good for two games…..Singles and Doubles. With Hexapong the consumer now has an option of being able to play at least seven different games with three different net configurations and all with this one table.
Because of its unique shape the Hexapong table automatically attracts attention from people that used to play and those wanting to know what challenges have to be overcome by playing on this table. The excitement on this table is that the players are no longer limited to just hitting the ball back and forth with different chops, spins and smashes.
For the future of Hexapong, we would like to be known globally with players that are as well known as other sports celebrities. The ambition is to have Hexapong in every major city, nation wide in schools, churches and recreation centers.
High schools, junior colleges and major universities have many talented coordinated students that for some reason or another did not make the sports team, but would like to be an active sport member. With seven different games, schools can have squads to play other schools. Clubs much like the USTA could be formed where club members could compete against other towns or cities.
Clubs would ideally have a minimum of four tables. Table one would be a scheduled table that members would have to pay a fee to reserve the table for a set start and finish time. Table two (on different nights) the two net games, Xtreme Singles, Xtreme Doubles and Team of Three would be played. Table three (on different nights) the three net games, Cutthroat Singles and Cutthroat Doubles would be played. Table four would be used for lessons and two nights a week challenge matches would be played for club players to advance their standing on a club challenge board.
