Table tennis

[Alabama Larry]

Mama got me a new table and a paddle. Nice paddle, table is one that covers the old one. This paddle is sweet, I can play a little faster.

Just curious ... how do the top players grip the paddle - shakehand/American or penhold/Asian?

I haven't kept pace but when I was last involved the Sweeds were tops and all played shakehand.

Guru, why embarrass yourself, we both know you stink!!

Most I play with use the handshake style but have seen the other used. We play tomorrow but I have house work, and had to miss this past wednesday, so next wednesday is my next time to play not at home. New paddle can't wait.

Ok, you were pretty good. The last time I played was before I had my knee replaced 2 years ago at NKU in the Health Center. It was very nice, the guy running said it was the Northern Kentucky Table Tennis Club, good competition. Considering I hadn't played in several years I held my own, but of course I could barely walk the next day. I would love to play again, do you know if they still exist?

I believe so, but I'll try to find out but might be next week until I play again.

I think the NKY Club is closed but Cincy is alive and well:
