My dad 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 tools. In my own projects, I always strive to live by this maxim. I've applied it to everything in my job, as well as most of my hobbies. What I had never applied it to, however, was table tennis equipment. You see, I have been a table tennis enthusiast for a good many years. It all started when I moved to college. I lived in a dorm that had very old tennis equipment in the basement. The table tennis paddles were almost literally falling apart. The boards were uneven, the nets sagged, and every time the ball hit the table, it wobbled. However, we had a lot fantastic 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 I decided to install it in my basement. I loved playing on that rickety old table, but it looked like I could just get to a certain level. I never thought it was the ping pong equipment. I thought it was the way I was playing. You see, I have never been the best athlete. How was I able to 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 friend 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 technology that I had never seen before. The interesting part was, when I played on their table tennis equipment, I understood why I had never learn some of the best techniques. It is not possible to learn advanced ball control on a table that is slanted and warped. Although I had a good game for my particular set of table tennis equipment, when I was doing it on a regulation table, my game was off. I don't have to mention that I was eliminated early on. The first thing I did was purchase new table tennis equipment. You can bet I will do better next time!
