Hello everybody, and greetings from NJ, USA.
My name is Raegen and I'm 47 years old. Thank you very much for adding me to your community! I have been looking for a table tennis forum, and came across this one after watching the TTD Team Knockout Tournament 2020 video on your YouTube Channel.
Prior to the Pandemic, I was playing in a county dart league twice a week. And then about 6 months ago, I picked up a bat for the first time in around 30 years, and instantly fell in love with the game. I played all throughout my adolescent years, and have always enjoyed it very much. No official competitions or anything, just matches with friends and family. My buddy recently got a table, and we have been having weekly games at his place. Currently the owner of the table and myself are pretty evenly matched, and seem to be a bit better than the other two people that play with us. We are all very much beginners though.
My table tennis goals are pretty simple:
1. Purchase a custom bat (There are so many options available, this is proving to be a challenge. I have been doing a lot research though, and I might be close to a decision)
2. Take some lessons (Right now my practice consists of pushing my kitchen table against a wall and hitting the ball. Not ideal, and hard to practice proper technique)
3. Dominate my garage game (And possibly find a club to play at, once the country opens up again)
Thanks again for the add, and taking the time to read this.
