Hey all,
How are you doing during this COVID crisis? hope you are staying safe but still enjoy table tennis from wherever you are.
Well, i can't stop playing table tennis, but i have many bad situations in my life that prevents me to play it very regularly, but i try my best to keep going in it as much as i can.
Recently or let's say this year, i started to play with only two players or friends i know them as i know their styles and they are not strong, but they just play for fun and i do, and i just like to keep playing with them only and not thinking about trying stringer/better opponents or to get a membership in a club where i can play with more players of all levels if possible, so is that a good idea or i have to change? My point is to play for fun, not to play for championship or tournaments or playing for "I will only play to win or get my level so high", i am 40 now and i really don't have time for taking training with coaches or to pay them a lot only to know if i will keep playing it or not, i have another hobby or passion that i try to save money for, so in that case i will not think about playing stronger trained players because i know i won't have any chance against them, what the point to play regularly if possible against higher level opponents without training as well?!!!
For the same reason above, is it really necessary to change or upgrade the equipment [i mean racket overall] just to match lesser opponents or only to have fun trying different equipment? Already have two rackets that i consider them as my top best and favorite so far, only i have to think about having a replacement rubbers for backhand on both, because both have almost hard rubbers, means my skill is weak to control it,losing more points than gaining points, not a good way, even with those weaker opponents i feel like they deceive me by giving me so easy ball to attack with my forehand, and i end up to kill them with my softer rubber or defensive racket, i don't know if not playing against skilled ones means it is no point to try different rubbers when i am still dominating and winning over them.
