Yipeeee
Today I hit the ball for the first time for 3 months
With all TT clubs closed, we found an outdoor table at some restaurant.
The table was strangely smaller than official tables, both in width and length, it was not in good condition, there was a tree near the table and some wind, but it was better than nothing !
We both played pretty badly, i couldn't hit more than 3 - 4 (slow) FH in a row even when doing FH to FH...
We switched quickly to BH diagonal where it was better. I had a lot of trouble with basics like BH/FH transition, late footwork and body out of sync.
But in the last 25% of the session finally i realized that the angle of my bat in my waiting position in BH was too vertical, I closed it and finally the quality of my balls became much much better at least from BH side, good brush and good spin, speed and timing.
I couldn't expect much better after 3months without training and playing in these conditions.
Of course we were playing wearing masks... not comfortable at all !
despite that, we're both happy today !
