I am thinking of going to a Stellan Bengtsson 5-day TT class

It is 5 days of 6 hours. I am 59 and I don't know if I will be able to last 6 hours and 5 days. The location is only about an hour and a half away but I will get a hotel room. I plan to use my Firewall Plus+T25+GD Talon 0X as my main paddle but I will bring my TBS+2xT05 just in case there are BH drills that don't work well with pips. I need to go down to Salem and play some people there so they can estimate my rating. There are two groups. One group is 1000-1600 and the other is 1600-2200.

Feeling satisfied with how much table tennis I played finally!

I had a hardcore real decent length hit this morning. Dropped the Mrs. off at College, and from 9am - 1pm I played solid.

Thursday Morning is a social morning with mostly retirees playing doubles. It is a cool way to socialise. Basically everyone takes a number out of a hat and then goes to the court which has 4 numbers on it. They play games there until the controller calls to come change numbers.

I am not losing my love for the pips

As tired as I was tonight I forced myself out to play some table tennis. I am not allowed out for long, so I tried to pack in as much as possible in 2 hours.

Usual twiddle style of play.

Main weakness I noticed I missed the high smashes probably because I haven't encountered the need to do them in a very long time and not with this thinner bat, so I kept nicking the edge and the ball would fly 10 metres out.
