A great game. Hooking up for a social game of TT through an internet forum...you can't beat that for nerdiness.;-)
The recent olympics have broadened my enthusiasm for it. I used to play competitively throughout primary school, culminating in a gold medal in a national schools tournament- but for quite a while I havent had a chance to give it a go. For an outlet, nothing can beat practising whilst listening to background music. I know the local PCYC runs competitions, if I could be bothered I'd give it a go but theres this thing called a HSC to worry about...
PS...the pengrip is for talentless hacks with expensive rubbers
