sometimes i feel ashamed that despite having played tennis so much so frequently, i am still so bad at it. actually its not exactly shame; its a bit of disappointment and disgruntledness too.

dont get me wrong, i still love tennis very much. i just feel like i cant do shit and need some help.

table tennis is way more fun, way less dependent on skill and you up levels pretty fast. even if you don't improve beyond a certain level, it's still very very mindlessly fun. you can even play like, um, target-hitting! which is FUN DEVIATION. plus ball picking is way easier AND you can talk while you play AND you can play in an air conditioned room omg table tennis is awesome, if you want to play you can ask me :D

i actually think its more difficult to improve in table tennis. i played table tennis frequently a while back and still dont have an idea of where i go wrong and how i can improve.

and its so dififcult to find a table tennis coach for adult learners. tennis is much moer popular with adults.

.. hey maybe it's the environment. i picked up table tennis at spr-ing, in the recre room during lunch/ after work. it was great because 1. i was playing with people my skill-level, so we were very patient with each other and improved together, and 2. there were older people, like way older people, there. and they would ask the xiao mei mei to join them. and they would correct us when we sucked.. it's more fun if you don't focus on the proper technique? just play until the level of playing surpasses your current technique.. then change lor. rather than training to get it perfect from the start
