(yes, i'm talking to you, Akbarses + Samarve... Shivan) I found out i need to improve the following:<br /><br />a) make sure the point is scored before gloating :-P<br /><br />b) learn NOT to twist my damned ankle while approaching the shot <br /><br />c) work on the two-handed backhand a bit more, as that will destroy my enemies if i get a little more accurate with it<br /><br />d) stay out of the frickin no-man's-land.<br /><br />HOWEVER--i DID find out the following pluses:<br /><br />a) volley practice = good<br /><br />b) a modified kendo stance with your weight on your strong leg = GOOD for mobility for someone with a gimpy twisted ankle.<br /><br />c) i found a new hobby/form of exercise i ENJOY now. (I was 'pleasantly sore' afterwards)<br /><br />d) even with a gimpy right ankle, Shiv and I were able to tie up sets against the Akbarses. :-)<br /><br />That's right, Akbarses--I'm comin out of the boof-ah! I got a fresh can of balls and whoopass for ya! Don't call the 5 straight game streak we had at the end before we called it quits a comeback! Uh.... and... you got served... etc etc ...<br /><br />(ok, ulterior motive behind the smacktalk is that you'll want to play again to shut me up :-) )
