Hello table tennis players.
I've just registered and thought I would introduce myself, my name is Vince and I am 50 years old. I used to play TT at school and loved it at the time, I remember my old teacher Mr Graham was a very good pen hold player.
Now I've started playing with friends I used to go to school with and one of the guys keeps beating me.
So, in order to improve, I have visited the "Dewsbury and District" table tennis club in Heckmondwyke on a Friday evenings, the idea being that I will improve if playing against better players. I have indeed improved, but my record against my friend has gotten worse. Speaking to Garry at the club, he thinks that my improvement has made me attack more and go to "win the point" rather than what I was doing before which is simply trying to keep the ball on the table long enough for him to make a mistake.
I have also just purchased a table and a robot and have put them into my double garage for more practice.
This is just an introduction, I'll ask in the right forum for some tips with the "robot" and beating my mate.
Oh, and I was asked to play for the team the other week, so that's not a bad thing.
Kind Regards
Vince
