So at work we expanded into a new building and one of the rooms in the old building was turned into a game room with Table Football, Dart board, Pool Table, and Table Tennis table. The table tennis table was new. We’d had the other things in one room or another, but we’d never had room for it before.
I should give a little background about me and ping pong. When I was attending University, I used to play like 2-3 hours a day… every day. My roommate, Tom, and I never got tired of just hitting the ball back and forth, developing insane spins. We were quite good by the end of all that practice.
Fast forward around twenty years and I’d not played since those halcyon days of youth, but I had an idea that I’d remember a few tricks. In the initial rush to play on the new table, I found that I was a better than average player, if a bit rusty. But that old love of ping pong came back to me very quickly. Now, I come in early for an hour of practice with my workmates. It’s a brilliant game.
