I used to play in a table tennis league, fact fans, I finished second to last in the overall rankings in my only season.

Well that sucks, I was always more of a winner, I favoured a speedy Mark V rubber on the front for speed
and a short pimpled friendship on the back, to slow the ball down and add spin if neccesary. A hard, heavy blade for power, and a straight handle to enable me to flip over and swap rubbers easily to confuse and destroy my opponents.

Oooh, our coach used to teach the forehand by saying 'over it! over it!' and backhand by saying 'look in the mirror'
He died in a house fire after falling asleep with a lit fag, needless to say I had the last laugh.

Cheers

Steve Marriott used to coach you at table tennis?
