I chose this image not because I want it to win, but because I'm happy I managed to get the racket and ball so close together. Even using 750-1000th/sec shutter speeds this is only one of two of such pics and the only one that resembles any kind of proper composition.

I had a horrible time the other day trying to get decent pic at a table tennis tournament...in door, bad light, and they don't allow flash....even at ISO 1600 I can't get better shutter speed than 200th sec....needless to say all shots were awful...lol

Try setting up with a tripod in conditions like that, space permitting. I also recommend a remote shutter release, they aren't too much as far as I can remember.

Also, basman007 (sans underscore) consider it corrected.
