This document describes the Many Ball Test, a test developed in 1964 to measure hand-eye coordination. The test involves a player rallying multiple table tennis balls against a table that is hinged and propped up to serve as a backboard. Over three trials of 30 seconds each, with a 30 second break in between, the player attempts to hit the balls against the backboard as many times as possible above a marked line within the time limit. The score is the highest number of valid hits achieved across the three trials.
