Hello from Helsinki

[Abaijon]

Hi, I´m Samuel, originally from Granada (Spain) but Helsinki (Finland) resident for the last 20 years. I started playing at the age of fourteen, but I took a break when I turned twenty for many reasons. One of them was that I wanted to party and meet girls and that lifestyle was somehow incompatible with "professional" sports. Also loosing against He Zhi Wen 21-0 was a big turn off.
Anyway, I´m back in the sport now. I´ve been playing in the Finnish league, second division, for a couple of years now and I´m loving it. After all, table tennis was my first passion.
Cheers.​

Welcome Samuel! Great story! Your back to your first passion! TT! Great to have you on board here you'll have a great time!

Wow you played He Zhi Wen, was this in a real match or practice? He Zhi Wen looks so difficult to play against!

Haha, choosing the life of an international pimp player???!!!!

Didn't all us guys try that out at some point???!!!

Hope you enjoy and post lots of adventures here.

The game against He Zhi Wen was a real match. It was my debut on the spanish highest division. I was young and unexperienced, and I didn´t understand how pips work. Juanito (his spanish nickname) beat me bad! I´m still traumatised.

What equipment do you use?

 

[Abaijon]

Last season I used Tenergy 05 on the front and Tenergy 64 in the backhand. The blade was TSP Thriller Off-, but it got too slow for me.
This season I´m going to try Galaxy N-9 (because it´s so cheap) and Tenergy 80 in both sides, I need more speed.

Okey, like you see i use andor super core cl all+ and bluefire m2 on forehand and skyline3 on backhand!
