Please Stop Doing This

For the second time in two months, someone walked behind me while I was forehand looping and walked into my backswing. The first time, it was at my home club and I had a cut on my hand. This time, it was at Westchester during my warm up and this was the result.

People, stop walking behind people when they are looping. It's just not safe!

[confused],

err,

how strong your back swing is? or, that was a titanium briefcase you might hit? [emoji14]

I remember some goofy double game I played years ago.

apparently my teammate never played with a chopper before, so,

I backhand chop the 1 incoming ball clearly, and also 2 another balls from my right. [emoji14]

the game paused for 5 minutes.

@NextLevel: Ohhh...why did u post such a horrible pic

?
Its too much too bear. Yesterday almost same thing happened to me. But was luck that hit him in the bum.

Now i am getting the chills of what could have happened to my HL5.

Holy shit, I would never walk close to some one who are playing. If I have to I will ask them to hold a bit.

That broken TSPW looks terrible.I feel sorry for your loss.

Judging by the damage inflicted, the not-so-careful individual got whacked pretty hard, so they might learn a lesson.

You did have a spare paddle to continue in the tournament, right? How did you do?

I was watching the video where Dan was hitting with I think Waldner and kids and adults were wandering in and around the play area during their hitting. I have never understood what people are thinking. You see it in golf sometimes as well. Its crazy.Sorry for your loss NextLevel.

thats go to hurt .... twice :\

Luis Nasche · May 30, 2016

It sucks

UpSideDownCarl · May 30, 2016

I've got to be honest. This definitely gets me mad. I would want to strangle the guy. It looks like it must have hurt being hit, but I hope the guy seriously felt it and will think twice before walking into the way of someone swinging a racket. It's not like it's someone who doesn't play. He knows how pissed off he'd be if someone walked into his arm while he was swinging, and broke his racket.

Well, there is one positive here: no one on TTDaily can question how hard you swing anymore.

But I would want blood from that guy. Him replacing the racket is a minimum. But, in addition, enough pain to never do that again would be only fair.

I share your pain NextLevel..........

RajaLoopah · May 30, 2016

This also happened in my school on mulitiple occasions. Luckily my blades were not destroyed(sheer power NL, sheer power)

I was still using Mizutani, a 2 day old Mizutani men. I swung my racket then hit someone it flew upwards hitting the ceiling falling then hit the net post the table and finally the floor. I sat for 10 minutes looking at the ding.

the other one is when I was using Akrasia I gained my momentum in spinning when someone walked behind and my racket flew judging by the distance by 10 feet rotating wildly.

I got a black eye once from my doubles partner swinging the bat into my head!

rip Next Level's stratus wood.

Xylit · May 30, 2016

I hate when people randomly walk around in your playing area. I cannot concentrate when I know that someone might stand in my way due to the reason you can see in the opening post. What is going on in their minds? It is as stupid as someone walking in front of a soccer goal during a penalty shootout X_X No one would ever do that!

vvk1 · May 30, 2016

I hate it when children run in front of you from behind to pick up their ball while you're still playing a point. Once I ended up accidentally whacking a 12 year old between his shoulder blades when swinging forward attempting a strong counter loop ... for a moment or two it seemed that the kid was about to start screaming, and my heart starting sinking, and then he just scratched himself and ran off.

Baal · May 30, 2016

One of the good things about my club. People don't do this. They even avoid being in your field of view.

I admire NLs restraint.

Boogar · May 30, 2016

Ah my condolences Nextlvl. So how did it work out? Did he replace it?

thekleifheit13 · May 30, 2016

No consideration is kind of a trend NL. Sorry to hear about your blade but hopefully the individual learned their lesson. At our rec center the tables are right outside the basketball courts and I've whacked a few ballers pretty hard. Didn't feel bad at all

people at actual clubs here don't do thibgs Luke that though, maybe your incident will serve as a warning to them all.

Tony's Table Tennis · May 30, 2016

ouch
I know many people having the same problem/fates

funny enough, is there any penholders out there with this experience? I never had this issue happen to me....

Kokain · May 30, 2016

Yeah this sucks, I can't say I ever had anything like that as we always have barriers but I can see how some tight space / low ceiling clubs may have this problem. Especially when a lot of people play doubles. What makes me angry here is if the blade NextLevel posted was some expensive shit, I would be raging hard if it was my Long 3 ....... Or what if you hit the corner of the table with Tenergies?.... I guess moral of the story is don't play Table Tennis with overpriced equipment
