One of the most important parts of beer pong is choosing the right team name. Our five suggestions for selecting a fool-proof team name are below:
1. Pop Culture References
There’s no better team name than a relavent, clever pop culture reference. And thankfully, celebrities are saying and doing stupid things every day! Take a leaf out of Kanye’s book with a name like, “I’ma let you finish, but our team is the best beer pong team of all time.” Or reference your favorite TV show. For example, call yourselves the “Night Men” after the famous “Night Man” episode of “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.” There’s an endless supply of pop culture gold to mine; Charlie Sheen alone can provide countless team names (“Winning?” “Tiger Blood?” The possibilities are endless).
2. Team Names That are Puns
Okay, do we need to say it? You’re playing with beer pong balls. If you can’t come up with some great “balls” puns, then what are you doing here? Another great pun: scoregasms. We’re just saying.
3. Names that Directly Make Fun of the Other Team
If you choose a team name that insults the other team, you’re multitasking: you can show off a clever name and get your trash-talking out of the way at the same time! Try a name like “We’re the whoop, you’re the ass,” and you’ll already have a leg up on the other team.
4. Rhyming Names
The great thing about rhyming names is that they can be completely nonsensical, but if they rhyme, people will forgive you. Don’t believe us? “Beer engineers.” “Playing Pong Like Donkey Kong.” Or even “Happy Fun Beer Pong Singalong.” Think about it.
5. Adjective-Noun Names
Always a classic, Adjective-Noun names are your best chance to put your old Madlibs skills to use. Just about any adjective sounds great as a team name when paired with any noun. For inspiration, try “The Horny Goats,” “The Angry Pigeons,” or “The Fightin’ Gingers.”
Now that you’ve chosen the perfect team name, be sure to bring your own custom beer pong balls and you’ll up your game even more. The other team will never know what hit them.

Alright! Finally we’ve got a beer pong topic that caught your attention. Fingering and Blowing; two words that can mean oh so much. Of course we are referring to the “House Rule” in beer pong where girls may blow and guys may finger the ball out of the cup before it touches the liquid.
It’s difficult to not get excited about anything that has to do with Fingering and Blowing, but in my opinion, the rule does not add much value to the beer pong game as much as one might think.
The biggest problem with the rule is how much longer it makes each game. I have witnessed games go beyond 30 minutes because the girls continue to blow the beer pong ball out of made beer pong cups. There’s nothing more frustrating than waiting for a game of beer pong that just won’t end.
Secondly, the rule states that guys are allowed to finger the ball out of the cup before the pong ball touches the liquid. Unfortunately, with the girls standing 8 feet across the beer pong table, judging whether or not the guys are playing fair is almost impossible.
In conclusion, as much fun as it is to say “Girls Blow & Guys Finger,” the “House Rule” should be set aside for a time when there is no line for beer pong. What are your thoughts on the rule?

The brilliant thing about beer pong is that there’s no one way to play it. With each new group of beer pong players , the game evolves to incorporate new rules; and with them, new strategies for winning the game. However, if you find yourself on the losing end of a game of beer pong, we have a few strategies to keep in mind.
1. Maintain the optimal level of “Intoxication”
Beer pong, like most things in life, exists on a curve where drinking is concerned: a couple drinks in, and you’ll get much, much better. A few more after that, and you’re going to get much, much worse. So take stock of how much you’re drinking and do everything you can to stay in what we at Party Pong like to call the “happy place:” when you’re feeling buzzed and confident, not seeing double.
2. Use the correct grip
Believe it or not, the way you grip the beer pong ball does matter. Most beer pong players use a basic overhand grip, but there are several other grips to test out if you find that one isn’t working out for you. You can also try an underhand grip, or an unusual grip some players called the “peace grip”–when you hold the ball between your index and middle fingers, like you’re making a peace sign.
3. Make sure you have a good arc
If the curve on your ball is decent, it’s less likely to bounce back out of the cup. A good arc will also give you more control in your aim.
4. Aim for clusters
This is obvious, but it’s an easy rule to forget during a lively game of beer pong: aim for where there are clusters of cups! Even if you miss your mark, there’s a good chance your ball will land in another cup.
5. Practice makes perfect
Nobody has to know you practice your beer pong throws by lobbing ping pong balls into cups of water when nobody else is around. It’ll be our little secret. So go ahead: buy some custom beer pong balls for good luck and up your game!
The fellas in PNP have released this pretty catchy beat with some clever lyrics to accompany your next game of beer pong. Help them out by sharing the link with your friends. It’s about time we get some good beer pong music other than a quick shout out from Asher Roth in “I Love College.”
Halloween is just around the corner, which means three things: parties will be happening on every section of campus, women will be wearing slutty costumes, and the heat is on to come up with the best costume or theme idea. And what better way to outdo yourself than to dress up your game of beer pong?
If that sounds daunting, you’re in luck, because we’re here for you. Not only do we sell custom beer pong balls and custom beer pong tables; we’ve also come up with a list of fool-proof theme ideas for your beer pong table. So without further ado, some inspiration:
1. Vampires
Sure, your girlfriend may have dragged you to one too many Twilight movies for comfort, but you can’t deny that vampires make for a great theme party. Besides, what could be more satisfying than throwing a ball with Robert Pattinson’s face on it into a cup of beer?
Dress up your table by dying your beer with red food coloring and creating two beer pong teams: Team Edward and Team Jacob. Order custom team balls, throw some glitter onto the table (remember, vampires sparkle in the sun), and go to town with some blood-thirsty fun.
2. Black Lights
Replace your ordinary lights with black lights, which will make anything that’s white glow eerily. Then find some white cups, add white details to your beer pong table, and turn the lights off. Not only will you be able to play a fun and challenging game of beer pong, but you also never know which hot girl will snuggle up to you in the dark.
3. Jersey Shore
Bring out your inner Snookie or Mike “The Situation” with a Jersey Shore-inspired beer pong table. Put a “tattoo” design on your table, like a skull or a snake, don some fake tanner, and play an “anything goes” game of beer pong. Trash-talking and rule-breaking are encouraged! Just promise: no fist-fighting.
4. Playboy
We just have to mention this one. Nothing’s more fun than a Playboy-themed party, no matter the time of year. Tell the ladies to bring their bunny ears and swimsuits and get ready for a night of hot fun. And need we remind you? We sell an array of Playboy-themed beer pong tables for your viewing pleasure.
5. Good Ol’ Fashioned Halloween
Sure, there are more original themes, but there’s no denying that a good old-fashioned Halloween party is downright fun. Dress up your beer pong table like a witch or skeleton, buy some black and orange beer pong balls, and drink from the ghoulish punch of a spooky game of beer pong. Plus, it’s a known fact that every girl gets a little more snuggly when there’s something scary around the corner.
Happy Halloween!

The new Party Pong Reusable Beer Pong Cups are only $19.99 for a set of 22 cups
At Party Pong, we care about our planet and we care about saving money. Hence, why we are introducing to the world of Beer Pong, the first ever set of reusable beer pong cups. Party Pong accepts its responsibility to consider the environment while manufacturing its products. The Plastic Party Pong Beer Pong Tables are manufactured using green energy in the U.S.A and now we are proud to start offering our reusable beer pong cups, also manufactured in the U.S.A.
Aside from the stunning graphics, these reusable plastic cups are top-shelf dishwasher safe. These are not hard plastic stadium cups. These cups are thin and lightweight, allowing pong balls to react to them the same way they react to standard keg cups.
Visualize this…the morning after an epic party at your apartment/house/whatever. Beer Pong was, of course, the main event that took place until the wee hours of the morning. As you take a look around, all you can see is a mess of red cups. So the first thing you do is grab a garbage bag and fill it with cups to be sent to a landfill far, far away. NOT ANYMORE!
With the Party Pong Reusable Beer Pong Cups, you simply stack them, rack them (in the dishwasher), and reuse them. How many times have you had to run to the store for a set of cups after realizing there are none for beer pong? NOT ANYMORE! These cups are like a loyal pet, always there for you when you need them most.
So, not only are these cups eliminating the disposal of hundreds of thousands of red and blue keg cups, but the money that you used to spend on replacing cups every time you played beer pong can now be spent on more important things like, a round of delicious breakfast burritos the morning after an epic night of beer pong.

Sure, there are typical excuses to drink: during a holiday party, before a big football game, or in celebration of a friend’s birthday. But what happens when it’s an average Tuesday night and you really need an excuse to play beer pong? How do you get a group together to play the game while legitimizing your drinking? Don’t worry; excuses are our specialty and the number of excuses to play beer pong is almost infinite. We suggest you follow a few simple rules and draw from one of the the following three categories to justify playing beer pong on an ordinary night.
1. Successes / Failures.
Did you ace a test recently? Celebrate! Did you fail it? That works too! Celebrating or mourning life’s little successes and failures is a sure-fire excuse to drink. Think outside the box as you consider what to celebrate/mourn. Sure, there are all the usual suspects like grades, getting/not getting the girl, or losing/winning a big game; but there are also so many other little successes or failures throughout the day to think about. Did you make it to class today? Floss your teeth? Put on pants? Celebrate!
2. Sporting Events.
An exciting toad race would be even more exciting after a round of beer pong!
We’re not talking football, baseball, or your favorite team; we figure you have those covered already. But have you considered commemorating Canada’s latest curling match with a rousing game of beer pong? How about finding or starting an adult dodgeball tournament? Or maybe you should check in and see what’s happening in the world of lawn mower racing these days. People come up with some weird sports, and you’ll have endless sporting events to celebrate if you look around. A short list of bizarre sporting events you could pay tribute to: elephant polo. Toad racing. Canal jumping. Rope climbing. Oil wrestling. See? The possibilities are endless.
3. Holidays.
Go to Wikipedia and type today’s date into the search bar. Need we say more? Whether it’s the anniversary of Guinea declaring independence from France, or the birthday of Winston Churchill, whether it’s Flag Day or Applejack Awareness Day, you’ll be able to find something to celebrate. Add a little pizazz to your celebration with some custom beer pong balls–perhaps with Winston Churchill’s face on them.
Now go forth and play beer pong!
(Do we have to say it? Drink responsibly and don’t drive after playing beer pong!)

Many of our customers, building their custom beer pong tables at www.partypongtables.com, ask us whether or not we would recommend getting a beer pong table with pre drilled holes or vinyl triangles. Every time, Party Pong will recommend getting a beer pong table with pre drilled holes for the playing cups and here’s why: Imagine a game of beer pong where nothing is spilled on the floor. With pre drilled holes, cups are securely resting only 2 inches into the table, but enough to prevent cups from sliding or spilling off of the table. Party Pong used the 16 ounce, red party cups to determine the exact template measurement, ensuring that the rims of each and every cup perfectly touch one another. The edges of the holes have been smoothed and are safe to touch. Party Pong does recognize 2 stipulations to the pre drilled holes: 1.) Some re rack formations are unable to be formed with the holes and 2.) the cups rest about 2 inches lower than the standard height of beer pong cups. Our response: We feel the benefits far outweigh these 2 stipulations. However, at Party Pong, we aim to please all. Therefore, we also offer the vinyl triangle option on our beer pong tables, providing an outline for that infamous, beautiful beer pong rack.
Labor Day Weekend is upon us and there is no reason why beer pong should not be the highlight of your holiday weekend. Summer is quickly fading into fall, so what better way to spend this holiday weekend than outside with some friends, beers and a beer pong table? Labor day is a day to reflect on all those other friggin days of the week that you have to work or go to school. Live it up. Kick up your heels. Grab your balls and play some beer pong. Take the day to imagine what your life would be like if your job was to play beer pong. At Party Pong, most of our time is spent customizing and shipping custom beer pong tables to all of our customers, so that they have tables to play on, on days like Labor Day. However, Party Pong will most definitely be enjoying a game or two…or three of beer pong this Labor Day weekend.
