If you are right-handed then please read the other reviews. However, for us southpaws this game lacks a single left-handed player, which renders this game pretty much redundant, unless you are willing to take on the (unrealistic) challenge.
This seems to be a major flaw in many Wii games that require or rely on specific single handed use and Table Tennis is no different.
So, I'm giving this 3 stars as the game is actually very good (apparently!) but I am forced to sell it and revert back to Wii Sports tennis.
Don't buy this game if you are a lefty and want an accurate sim.
