Come back after 30 years break

[France]

Hello,
my name is France, I'm a 59 years old women from Belgium, coming back at table tennis after a long break of 30 years . I'd play a little at school and later a few in competition of work team (called Urbrasco in Belgium) and 1 year in a local team, then meet my husband and stop sport !! But always miss to play table tennis and suddenly in April I decide to try again, the local team still exists and so I make my come back ! Of course my old bat was not more in good shape, so discover all the new blades, rubbers, ball, regulation. So lot of change but it was so nice to play again and to see that I can still hit the ball In nearly 2 months I'm already become an EJ and now training hard to play again in competition next season. Have already found many interesting informations on this forum !

This is a really inspiring story. It shows that there truly is no age barrier in table tennis. Its a great exercise to keep healthy and a really competitive and fun sport to delve into.

Lol, Gozo, do you think I can get France to give Tibhar equipment a shot?

No No No....

As the great Henry Ford said, you can have any colour you want on your Ford T as long as it is black.

Similarly, you can play with any set-up you wany as long as it is Butterfly.

come on! She should at least look into MX-P, MX-P 50, MX-D and FX-D for rubber. For blades, she should look into Tibhar Dynamic JC Darko Jorgić, Tibhar VS Unlimited and Tibhar Fortino Pro Series. Those blades should give her enough speed.
