My father has always been a real practical man. One of the things that he told me that stuck with me for the longest was that you should always do the right job with the right equipment. In my own projects, I always strive to live by this maxim. I have used it to everything in my work, and to most of my hobbies. What I had never applied it to, however, was table tennis equipment. You see, for a good many years, I have been a table tennis passionate. It all began when I transferred to college. I lived in a dorm that had very old tennis equipment in the basement. The table tennis paddles were so old that the seem to be falling apart. The nets sagged, the boards were uneven, and every time the ball hit the table, it wobbled. Nonetheless, we had many great games. Around the time that I moved out, the dorm decided to purchase new table tennis equipment. They allow me to bring home the old stuff, and soon I had it installed in my basement. I loved playing on that shaky old table, but it appeared like I could just get to a certain level. I never thought that the ping-pong equipment was responsible for that. I thought it was the way I was playing. You see, I have never been the greatest athlete. How could I guess that what was holding me back was the tennis table equipment? In fact, I realized that when I got to play at an area table tennis competition. My brother, who is really serious about the game, invited me along. The table tennis equipment there was top notch. People had table tennis paddles made with machinery that I had never even heard of. The interesting part was, as soon as I played on their table tennis equipment, I understood why I had never practiced some of the best techniques. It is not possible to learn advanced ball control on a table that is warped and slanted. Eventhough I had a good game for my own set of table tennis equipment, when I was doing it on a regulation table, my game was off. Needless to say, I was eliminated early on. The first thing I did was purchase new table tennis equipment. You can be certain I will do better next time!
