To the Table of Dreams! On a very hot Bank Holiday Monday. We made the strategic decision to play with the non-wind ball. The reason being, there was no bloody wind around. Job’s a good ‘un.
A bit of a knock around warm-up started. It was the usual corner to corner let’s TWAT the ball around AND live out our semi-pro table tennis dreams. Good luck with that one. It was far too warm for a decent warm-up and so we headed straight into the game.
Hang on, something’s not quite right here. The non-wind ball wasn’t bouncing very well. We had a brain wave: I remembered that the non-wind ball was packed away many months ago because it’s not actually a ball.
It has been squashed around so much it bounces in an irregular fashion, which can be quite a major factor when you’re playing table tennis, either semi-pro or even as park amateurs.
My concentration, as ever, was sketchy. The heat didn’t really help. I lost 4-1. Oh dear.
