If you’re a serious enough beer pong fan to have a custom beer pong table, you’ve likely found yourself scratching your head at some point as to other uses you might get out of it. Due to the size of beer pong tables, you can’t really serve Thanksgiving dinner on it, and even playing a standard Texas Hold Em poker is a little hard as a circular table works much better for most poker games. Most beer pong tables are collapsible and can be folded down and stored away, but that’s no fun, so here are a few suggestions to get the most out of your treasured beer pong table:
Mini-Pong: beer pong was originally played on ping-pong tables back in the day and there’s no reason it can’t go both ways. All you need is the small net custom made for a mini ping pong table and paddles and you’re good to go, with your beer pong table serving double-duty as a mini ping-pong table.
Your Own Beer Pong Bar: this will take a little more work but the basic layout of the beer pong table works well for serving drinks in general at your next party, so you can either buy a custom bar top that will fit on your table or cobble one together yourself. Add in a padded rail and some bar stools and your friends might never leave your basement (hmm, maybe we should rethink this idea), plus there’s a beer pong table lurking beneath whenever you need it.
Become a Heads-Up Poker Pro: while beer pong tables aren’t great for typical poker games, they are similar in shape and size to special tables used for heads-up poker matches. Heads-up poker pits two players against one another with one seated at each end of the table and the dealer in the middle between the two. Heads-up poker is fast-paced and perfect for competitive friends that like to butt heads, as the action is mano-a-mano so there’s no question about who the winner (and the loser) is at the end of the match.
Other Uses for a Beer Pong Table
June 7th, 2011Beer Pong Tables for Foreplay
January 6th, 2011Some people think of beer pong as a man’s game, but here is the thing, if there is a lady that has your attention, you may want to ask her to be your beer pong partner. Beer Pong is inherently a sexy game and if things go well… it may be your foot in the door. Here is what makes beer pong sexy:
1. By playing a game of beer pong with her, you’ve got her attention. She is standing next to you and won’t be wandering through the party to meet some other guy. You’ve got the length of the game to show her some of your desirable qualities…
2. Beer Pong involves drinking and let’s face it, not only does the beer gives you a nice warm fuzzy layer of confidence it also loosens and warms her up as she sheds away that layer of standoffishness.
3. Playing with the girl you want will ease some of that tension you feel when talking to her while twiddling your thumbs on a couch. You are doing something so you don’t have to worry about keeping her entertained.
4. Girls have a tendency to get frisky when they play beer pong. Whether that means that she tries to distract your opponent with sexy moves or by showing her skin… it doesn’t matter. By taking this small seductive action, she has engaging in a sexual process and again loosening up. Play it well, and you may be able to keep that ball rolling.
5. It is easy to make people laugh over a game of beer pong. It is by nature, a funny, playful game. Whether you do make her laugh by doing a ridiculous pole dance or by showing her your man butt does not matter. Make her laugh and you are so much closer to winning her over.
6. If you are good, you can show off a little. Sink four shots in a row and now she knows that you have good hand eye coordination and suddenly you are athletic in her eyes… girls tend to find this hot. Celebrating is all good but don’t pat yourself on your own back too much… you expect to be good.
7. Beer Pong is fun. If you play beer pong with her, you are associated with fun. Everyone likes fun… including the girl you want.
Give it a try: ask her to play beer pong at the next party!
Obviously not all girls like beer pong, so if she doesn’t want to play, offer to play another game… strip poker perhaps

BROCON: Ideas Worth Sharing
September 29th, 2010This past weekend, on behalf of BJ’s, I went to an event called “BROCON”. The event brought together young entrepreneurs that work with/for college age guys. We heard from companies and individuals that are at the top of their fields and are making things happen in the college market. There were some truly impressive people.
Brian and Me showing off Brocon pong table
The NYT best-selling author of “I Will Teach You To Be Rich”, Ramit Sethi, who is young and sharp as tac, talked about how he shows people, particularly college guys, how to manage their money so that they can do and get what they really want. This guy is on top of his game and he isn’t your typical financial manager; He is not a judgmental dick who hates fun of any kind. His technique is to show his readers how to become conscious about the ways they spend money so that they can replace the “ridiculous” unconscious purchases with the things that they actually want. Rather than preaching spending abstinence, which turns out to be unsustainable, this guy demonstrates ways to pay enough attention to get to where you want to be financially while still enjoying spending, now. I just started reading his book… yea, wow!
We also heard from Thomas Edward, one of the nation’s top dating coaches and founder of the site “The Wing Man”. He shared some of his techniques for helping guys and ladies to find more fulfilling relationships and lives. Thomas doesn’t preach cheesy pickup lines or encourage contrived situations, but instead helps his clients tap into their inner strength and confidence so that they can become “The Mayor” everywhere they go.
Finally, we heard from Douglas Banker, one of the founders of “Bro bible”, an online destination for bros, featuring entertaining stories, latest news and trends, bro community and more. Today Bro bible looks at a study that claims that College Women Who Engage in Unprotected Sex are Less Depressed! I am going to assume and hope that one article, especially on the advantages of of unprotected sex will not convince you that it is a good idea but it is still pretty edgy and worth checking out
Hope you enjoy what these guys have to offer. Let us know your thoughts!
How to make a living playing Beer Pong!
August 31st, 2010We interviewed one of beer pongs best career pong players, Ron Hamilton, to find out:
Ron is a master at distracting opponents
Q: What do you do to train?
A: I don’t do much training now-a-days besides playing in as many tournaments as I can, but back in the day when I first started playing in tournaments I would train hard all day long. I would shoot somewhere around 1000+ shots a day. I would set up a 10 rack with a bucket of balls and just shoot. Then I developed a system where I would set up a 10 rack with only 10 balls to shoot, and for me to take 1 cup away I would have to hit all 10 balls in all 10 cups, with no ball in the same cup.
Q: How do you maintain composure in big games (competeing for $50k)?
A: I think thats something you have to learn throughout your life and apply that to whatever it is your doing, as in my case its beer pong. I learned to keep my composure under pressure as a pitcher for my baseball team in high school and college.
Q: Does athletic ability carry over to beer pong?
A: I think athletic ability has everything to do with beer pong. It takes GREAT hand and eye coordination as well as the ability to perform under pressure. I don’t think any particular sport gives one an edge in beer pong. I was an all-state pitcher in high school, a two time all American in college and led the nation in era for 8 weeks in my sophomore year of all Junior college pitchers until the final week of the season. I injured myself and could not play baseball anymore so I took my athleticism and composure and applied it to beer pong .
Q: How does your fiancé feel about your pong career?
A: My fiance Lori HATESSSSS my beer pong career, she really doesn’t like the bar atmosphere that I’m put in. I mean, I dont blame her; Im not a single guy; Im not that young anymore, and I would really be upset with her if she was going out to bars and flying to vegas all by herself, but I think she understands that it is something that brings me very good money and beer pong is just a business for me. I go to play beer pong and win that money and that is all I’m about.
Q: You win SO often; what gives you an edge over other pong players?
A: Besides my mental toughness and athletic ability, I have the ability of getting into people’s heads while playing. It is something I do because I need people to give me big misses, and the way people shoot now-a-days, anyone or any team can run 10 on you real quick; everyone has become that good. So now I need to gain an even bigger edge so I go crazy and get in people’s heads by just acting nuts; running around, ripping my shirt off, telling them I’m going to sack them, etc. Hey, I don’t mind getting made fun of by my opponent because I think of it this way: If you’re screaming back at me, throwing beer at me, talking shit about me, or worrying about what I’m doing…then your head is not in the game and you are more concerned about me than the game itself; so right there, I know I’m winning that game.
12 Person Beer Pong
November 18th, 2009Last weekend at a house party, I came across a 12 person pong table! It looked a lot like the table below…
The guy that was holding the party is an engineer and used his skills to craft the table up. It was amazing having 12 people gathered around in a circle playing pong together. It definitely took the game to a whole new level of sociability.
Obviously this beer pong table is not portable but it makes for a really good time!
Tempe12′s Paulina on Howard Stern
October 14th, 2009If you haven’t heard of Tempe 12, which is impossible if you’re from Tempe, Arizona, allow us introduce you to our newest partner. Tempe12 produces a calendar featuring the 12 sexiest girls attending Arizona State University (These girls are amazing, congrats to ASU). Tempe12 distributes tens of thousands of these free calendars around the city of Tempe and ASU.
We were stoked when Tempe12 came to us with the idea of cooperating. Beer pong and hot girls seem like an obvious combination. Now along with throwing events with Tempe12, we have been featured in their calendar for the month of May, along with the drop dead gorgeous college girl, Paulina. After seeing the Calendar, we were so impressed that we realized we needed to make a table with a spread of Paulina.
This Thursday, Oct 15th, Paulina has been invited on to the Howard Stern show. This is not the first time that a Tempe12 girl has gone on Howard Stern. Last year Howard had one of the Tempe12 girls and another girl oiling each other down and riding each other. Needless to say, we’re pretty excited to see Paulina this Thursday at 6:00pm EST. So check out Paulina on live TV, and if you like her and want to play with her in the privacy of your own home, just buy a pong table from us!
Beer Pong VS The Man
August 27th, 2009This past weekend, the wild and crazy beer pong tournament, which we were sponsoring, was shut down by Texas’s Alcohol and Beverage Commission (TABC). The hosts of the event did their best to compromise with the TABC and even offered to play the event with water in the cups, instead of beer. However, the commission was unwilling to budge in any way and claimed that since the participants could win cash prizes, the event was considered a gambling event (Strange! I thought gambling was based largely on luck, not skill). The event host pointed out that “it is no different than offering a prize at a bowling tournament”, but there was no convincing the TABC.
There are many problems with narrow beer pong policies, such as these. Namely, they hinder the ability of bars to hold beer pong tournaments on their premises. Beer pong, a hugely popular activity that is the catalyst of countless fun & organized gatherings, could be a source of additional revenues for bars. By impeding bars ability to hold pong events, groups like the TABC are creating one more obstacle for bar owners during difficult economic times. If the TABC and others like them really want to help, they should permit beer pong in bars, and if need be, place binge drinking regulations from there (i.e. the bar is responsible for cutting people off if they are becoming too drunk).
In the end, beer pong will continue to grow. There are too many enthusiasts for it to be hindered by a few officials that just don’t get it. Beer pong enthusiasts have shown their commitment in the past. In Delaware, Senator Della introduced a bill that would prohibit bars or businesses from holding pong tournaments. After ONE DAY, she withdrew the bill saying “we’re getting inundated with so many e-mails that I don’t have the time to fool with it.” Way to go Maryland BP! We like the organization!

Wow, what an incredible event! 170 teams competed at the Resorts Hotel and Casino for $25,000. In the end “Smashing Time” teammates Mike Popielarski and Ron Hamilton walked away with the Prize. These guys have a history of wins, and recently took $50,000 at a tournament in Vegas. They are so good that they are actually career beer pong players. Yes, beer pong is their job. Amazing!
