I love Table Tennis. It is an addiction for me. Fortunately I’ve had the opportunity to play local league table tennis for over thirty years. Anyone interested in playing competitively should simply ring his or her nearest league secretary. There is a place for everyone in the leagues. All you need is to be fairly mobile or flexible, with a modicum of hand-eye coordination. In our league, one of our best players is a wheelchair user with very fast hands.

As for equipment, any decent sports clothing will do. Just no white shirts as the ball is usually white. Then of course you need a bat. Most sports shops should be able to sell you an acceptable, cheap “weapon”. Personally I prefer to go online or send a form to an equipment company such as Tees Sport or Jarvis Sports. They will post you a bat of your choice. Most modern players use reverse-pimpled rubbers on an “all-round” or “attacking” blade. In other words, they tend to go for spin and speed. These rubbers usually have a layer of sponge underneath, to give extra speed. “Older” bats are covered with pimple-out rubbers, having no sponge: thus imparting much less spin but more “control” at the expense of speed. An “old” bat may indeed be suitable for the beginner to ease him or herself into the game.

This blog is not intended to be a coaching manual. Experienced players and coaches are best placed to show you how to play. Just a few pointers though. Basically there are two ways to hold the bat: the “shake hands (Western)” grip and the “penhold” grip favoured by the Chinese etc. I happen to prefer the Western version, which seems easier, but each to his or her own. So all my tips are for this Western grip.

Table tennis can be a very technical game, but essentially it’s all about imparting and controlling spin. Essentially you spin the ball by brushing it at a fine angle, at high speed. Spin may be put on the ball in four directions: upwards (called “topspin” or “loop”), downwards (“chop” or maybe “slice”), left or right. Loop tends to run up the opponent’s bat, and chop down – into the net. An ideal way to use these spins is when serving. I could write a book on the serve, but suffice to say there are almost infinite variations. Indeed you may use a “mixed spin” serve: top\side or chop\side. During a rally, however, a loop is usually employed as an attacking drive or defensive lob, whereas a chop shot is mainly used as a late defensive retrieving stroke.

The most basic of shots in table tennis are the “block” and the “push”. Often these two shots are combined or blur into one. Pushing is all about playing straight through the ball, aiming for a spot just above the net. Any spin you might put on the ball is a bonus but a bit of chop may help. When you “block” you mainly keep your bat still and cushion the ball, though against chop a gentle “jab” may be required. With both the block and push, the angle of your bat is crucial. Against a chop from your opponent you must lay your bat back to compensate for, yes, the backspin. It usually pays to take the ball late too, to let the spin fade away before you play the ball. Conversely, loop is best taken early with your bat over the ball, laid forward. Experienced players can do this with a slight flicking action. In the same way, against sidespin you need to angle your bat accordingly, i.e. if the ball is spinning from your right to your left, you must aim right.  

Of course, disguising spin is a major aspect of the game, but that’s another story. The main thing is to watch your opponent very carefully. Always try to Focus on the game. Concentration is very important. “Footwork” is another aspect which is well worth developing. The main thing, however, is just to enjoy the game.

It is always cheaper to buy directly in stores in India in any city (Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai, Ahmedabad) rather than to buy online when you can spare time. Prices can vary from store to store and offers can change from festival days (Dussera, Diwali, Sankranti, Pongal, Ugadi, New Year, Christmal, etc.) to non-festival days. You will also be able to get a hands on experience before buying the product if that is new for you.

It is always cheaper to buy directly in stores in India in any city (Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai, Ahmedabad) rather than to buy online when you can spare time. Prices can vary from store to store and offers can change from festival days (Dussera, Diwali, Sankranti, Pongal, Ugadi, New Year, Christmal, etc.) to non-festival days. You will also be able to get a hands on experience before buying the product if that is new for you.

The great aspect about this type of gear is the fact that players will look incredibly stylish. This is actually one of the best ways to match and look great on the court at all times. Choose the right colors and try to keep it on the conservative level for the right kind of attention. Those who go with the styles and the colors that they like are usually the top players who know what they want out of the game.

It is a well known fact that these players are very active and will need to do a lot on the court. Wearing tennis clothing that can breathe is a must. Luckily for any player, all of the styles out there should breathe and keep the player as cool as possible. Try to ensure that the outfits are a little loose too so that they get a better motion range to reach out to.

On top of being able to breathe well, the clothing needs to be comfortable. Constrictive clothing can cause a number of health related problems that could hinder the way the player performs. Try some of these outfits on to see how they fit as well as how they feel. This of course is going to make the game a lot more fun in the long run and will help to improve the overall skills.

When shopping around either stick to the mens section or the womens section. Tennis clothing has been designed for both parties and will fit them in all of the right ways. It does not hurt to try a few things on, just to make sure that something perfect is picked out.

In order to top everything off, buy the right tennis shoes as well. Playing with the wrong shoes on the court can cause damage to the court as well as damage to the player. Those who need something new should look for shoes that are high performance and highly recommended for the very best results.

Buying from a reputable dealer is one of the best ways to save money and get great quality products. Look around online in order to ensure that the right savings and products are located. Those who can shop around are often the ones that get the top gear first.

It is easy to find the right tennis clothing that is in high demand. Anyone who needs some new gear can start the process and get with a licensed dealer for help. Start looking around and make sure that only the top brands and sizes are chosen before getting out onto the court next time.

Just in time for school, Texas’ Tax Free Weekend 2009 is set to occur on August 21 through 23.  This sales tax holiday enables Texans to save a bit of money by avoiding sales tax on eligible back-to-school products.  Purchasing back-to-school essentials such as eligible clothing, footwear and school supplies will save Texans on every 0 spent.  For families stretching their budgets, the sales tax holiday is a welcome boon in today’s economy.

Texas Tax Free Weekend:  Dates

The Lone Star State’s tax free weekend begins on Friday, August 21 and concludes on Sunday, August 23.  Any purchases made outside of these dates will be subject to the appropriate sales tax.

Texas Tax Free Weekend:  Clothing cost limits

According to the information listed on the State’s Comptroller’s website page, most clothing and footwear is exempt from sales tax during the tax free holiday weekend, provided that each items retails for 0.00 or less.  The same website page lists the eligible clothing items, as well as some that are ineligible for purposes of comparison.  Many products associated with sports such as ice skates, hiking boots, waders, etc. are not eligible.  However, normal footwear such as sneakers and tennis shoes is eligible.  Backpacks are included under the clothing exemption so long as they are for use by elementary or middle school student only.  Even baby clothing is exempt under the Act during the tax free weekend.

New this year for Texas’ Tax Free Weekend:  school supplies

This year, tax free status was granted to other essential back-to-school supplies, such as pencils, pens, notebooks, etc.  The list provided on the state website is all-inclusive.  If the item is not on the list, it is not an eligible item.  Like clothing, the item must retail for 0.00 or less.  The list includes lunch boxes among other common supplies such as crayons, paper products and markers. 

Tip:  Print the list before venturing out shopping during the tax free weekend.

Texans close to the Oklahoma border:  Oklahoma’s tax free weekend

For Texans close enough to Oklahoma, Oklahoma is hosting its own tax free weekend.  From Friday, August 7 to Sunday, August 9, Oklahoma will allow consumers to purchase clothing and footwear valued at less than 0 per item tax free.   For Texas brides, the Oklahoma tax free eligible list does include wedding apparel.  Considering the cost of a bridal dress, it may behoove a future bride to at least window shop during Oklahoma’s tax free weekend.

Texans close to the New Mexico border:  New Mexico’s tax free weekend

In themarket for a new computer?  Cross the border into New Mexico during New Mexico’s tax free weekend August 7-9.  There, a new computer costing ,000 or less can be purchased sales tax free.  Computer peripherals are also eligible, provided the cost is 0 or less.

Head to Louisiana for its tax free weekend

Now in its 20th year, Louisiana’s tax free shoping program is set for August 7 and August 8.  During Louisiana’s tax free weekend, the state’s 4% sales tax is suspended, provided the purchased item is ,500 or less.  There are exceptions, but most items are covered.

Savvy shoppers close to these border states can cherry pick the sales in other states and then pick up the remaining needed items later during Texas’ tax free holiday.

Parking your Vehicle – Problems?

One thing that is very uninviting to a potential buyer is seeing lots of cars parked in front of your house. Many property owners do not use their garage to park their cars, so a garage is not essential to parking your car off the road. If there is no way to add to your drive to incorporate a parking lot, you might want to ask your local authorities for planning permission to drop the curb on the pavement adjacent to your property. An off-street parking space can add up to 10 percent to the property price.

Swimming Pool/Tennis Court

Consider whether you would like a pool indoors or outside, also look at the position of your house before making the final decision If you live in colder climes, an indoor pool or one inside a swimming pool building might be more useful and will tempt more buyers. Even if the pool is heated and has a cover on, if the weather is cold potential purchasers know it is rarely going to get any use, so you could find a pool is a negative point. On the other hand if the pool is to be used all year, situate it indoors; perhaps make a feature by putting in patio doors that lead to a nice decking area. An attractive, warm indoor pool has the potential buyer imagining enjoying themselves; maybe having a pool party. And it all pays out at about a 5 to 10 percent bonus in house value.

In a few neighbourhoods you could look at installing a tennis court as another luxury item, make sure it is in keeping with the rest of the neighbourhood. As with the swimming pool, a tennis court can add up to another 10 percent to the profit of your property.

Both of these additions serve as an indulgence that you can offer the buyer. Obviously adding these are going to boost the value of your property, so may price many people out of the market. Once you do manage to sell your house, the price it sells for may be more than you ever wished for.

Adding a Waterside Feature

My experience with dealing Vancouver lofts proved me one thing. If you are considering a waterside display then remember that these normally hold their value. You may notice, according to a survey, that it may increase the value by a third, which is fantastic news. Although there is no way you can add a lake or a small romantic stream by your house, you can build a pond in your backyard. A pond is simply a small mass of water in which light can penetrate all the way to the foundations, in other words, ponds are not very deep. Look at what room you have and what room you want to put aside to a pond, from a simple water feature to a more elaborate pond with fish and fancy fitments.

Do your research before you even start installing a pond; the water source, the depth you want and will the water be flowing freely so mosquitoes are avoided are just some items to consider. It’s not a simple task (best planned with the help of a specialist in this area), but pays off hugely when done properly.

Troicki came in for the higher-ranked Janko Tipsarevic with the tie level at 2-2 and played brilliantly to beat Llodra convincingly 6-2 6-2 6-3 in the Serbian capital Belgrade.

Serbia, who are ranked 13th in the tennis world, clinched the Davis Cup title for the first time in its inception in 1900 and were thrilled with the win.

Skipper Bodan Obradovic said, “My players showed that they are mentally the strongest team in the world. We showed we are number one.”

And Frances captain Guy Gorget admitted that Troicki was the difference between the two teams on the final day of tennis. “We had expected two difficult matches today, but what we didn’t expect was that Viktor would be so good.”

Serbia only made their Davis Cup tennis debut in 1995 and both Djokovic and Obradovic had said before the final that victory would be the greatest achievement in the nations short sporting history.

The Serbs went into the final day trailing 2-1 but a fervent crowd of over 16,000 at the Belgrade Arena roared the team on for a clinical final days tennis to send the country into raptures as they savoured a much-deserved victory in the final major tennis tournament of the year.
