Badminton

Played some good badminton last night, at Tmn Sea school in SS2. The reason I decided to go was because I need to play more games in order to improve, and playing with players like Uncle Joel, Uncle Charles, Ah Ming and company, really helps! I really cannot remember the last time I was involve in such high pace game, not much smashing, but very fast shuttle movements and skilfully taken shots(by them of course, I was so rusty I lost all my doubles game). I partner James for each and every of the doubles yesterday, guess we were still adapting to the floor, lightings, even the net is lower than Bukit Jalil's, and that proved a big problem for us. It just shows how much I need to improve..

Went there with another friend too, Wesley(again); He is very enthusiastic about this game after watching the matchup between Bukit Jalil and Sri Petaling last week, thus proclaimed that he will be playing badminton!

Wes, as a beginner, asked me how to hold a badminton racquet, he even posted about it here, I replied that the way you shake someone's hand is the way you hold the racquet. I think he heard wrongly, or was adviced by others to hold a knife to play badminton! Well, no worries, nothing wrong with it!


I am not a good player myself, but just enough to teach people how to hold racquet lor. I think the problem faced by new players is that they feel awkward holding the racquet. Wesley got it correctly though, just that his index finger was pointing towards something at the floor, I wonder what it is?? Knowing Wes, maybe a stray viagra pill??
