Okay, so the idea with this thread: you get your chance to show some of what makes you who you really are.
You can add videos of you playing:
This is a short clip of me playing recently with OldSchoolPenHold:
It could be history of your TT playing.
In the 1970s I loved playing what back then I called Ping Pong, and played with friends at a tennis club during the summer. They were all tennis players and all better than me. I was terrible and still loved playing and was addicted to playing. But we played basement pong tennis style. No backspin. All fast drives. They had tennis technique for FH and BH and I tried to hit my FH like Bjorn Borg's tennis strokes. Hahaha. I played in the summers for maybe 3 summers. Perhaps 20 times each summer.
Then in 1991 I found a real table tennis club. I never even knew they existed. For 3 months, between jobs, I played as much as possible. I was still really bad. I mostly played on the robot because EVERYBODY at the club was way better than me and I didn't really know how to hit a BH. I did learn BH on that robot. But then I got another job and stopped playing long before I ever got better than terrible. Of course I thought I was awesome. But....I wasn't.
One time at the club I did beat this kid who told me he just broke 1500. At the time I didn't really know what he meant. But I honestly don't know how he could have been 1500. He was better than me at everything but man did he play unintelligently. I beat him entirely because of tactics. But it still was a beat of 5 match with games to 21. Hehe.
From November 1996-December 1998 I performed for the Circus:
This is what I did:
When I came back from the circus I started teaching Yoga:
In 2009 I found a place to play TT in NYC and rekindled my old addiction and have been playing ever since. I play for fun. I play for recreation. I play for exercise. But I love doing sidespin hook loops that curve like crazy. For me, this is the finest hobby imaginable.
Now what's your storyline. What makes you tick?????!!!!! Have fun.
