rhouses table tennis classes

Does table tennis require classes? Crikey!

You can throw in skateboarding for me too, still managing about once a month on the board. No progress, but enjoying rolling around. Mainly on the floor.

      I am a very good table tennis player.

      That is all.

          Old-Dutch Lol!

          I remember a mate telling me about GHB when it first became a thing: ‘get on it, it made all the birds get their tits out and roll about on the floor, it was power’.

            Amps figured it would be fun to get training. Was self taught on the back of being a pretty hardcore tennis player through school. Havent played for years and I completely lost my backhand, thought I’d just do a month till I got my game back. But it’s been a revelation, both in terms of it being a good work out (multi ball drills are nuts) and getting proper technique down. Finally beat my right handed coach today, who has been playing left handed for our matches at the end.

                Not a fucking thing. I bike to work for half the year, which is about 200 kms a month, and try to walk everywhere during the winter. So far it’s kept me in some sort of shape.

                mono-stereo Yeah I’m thinking once I lose a bit more weight, 2-3 months of badminton, I’ll drop badminton and get back to tennis too.

                  mono-stereo Ive heard that nearly always when you arrive on court to play tennis, if you stick your flute through the netting it gets sucked off by roughly 4 gorgeous girls that are also playing tennis in the vacinity.

                    i’ve been playing soccer 2-3 times a week for the last 10 years, but i’m done with that after this last summer. the injuries are just piling up too quickly. i may still play pick up, but nothing competitive. other than that, running and insanity (hiit) are my staying in shape activities. getting old sucks, but i feel pretty good when i’m not playing soccer.

                    does ‘Debating Soc’ count? 😉

                    Dan Tennis? Haven’t bought one yet, but I used to have Prince. I’ll be getting the Wilson Ultra - v3 with babolat strings when I get into it.

                    Table Tennis, I was using the butterfly Timo Boll 2000, but my coach got me a gki one, which I prefer. Still need to figure out my strengths before I get a pricier one or get one customised. But I’ll probably stick to butterfly.

                    Badminton, I have a yonex arc saber, very happy with it.

                        rhouses Ultra is a nice stick….those and the blade strung with poly strings.

                            Dan Good to get another opinion on the Wilson Ultra, will lock it in when the time comes.

                              I mountain bike, take part in sportives/road bike events, skateboard and surf

                              My son has got massively into skateboarding so I bought a reissue Powell deck to join in when he goes to the skatepark. Initially just to cruise around. Started getting back into it and was acting like I was young kid again. Slammed hard on to my face trying to olie over a puddle. Pulled tendons in both my shoulder and ankle and took me out from all exercise for about two months (ankle ligaments were really painful). Also looked a right twat in front of loads of kids including my son . Learnt that I now no longer bounce when falling and that I am way to old to skateboard
