Um... I'm good at posting on iLX, quantitatively speaking anyway.I think I'm a decent rockstar, I keep up with my journal pretty well, and I'm good at being appreciative.

Phil, I've not played much in years, except for a bit against a girlfriend who is England's #1 in her wheelchair class, and hoping to make the next Paralympics. I used to favour the more typically European grip. For a while, I played in the more Chinese style to try to give opponents a chance, but I got as good at that. I wasn't world class at this by a long way (unlike, say, Minesweeper) - I'd probably have got my blue at Cambridge had I stayed much more than a term, as I was very probably the best in the first year, but I also once played a guy who was then the UK #3, and he murdered me. I don't think I'd have ever got nearly that good, had I kept it up.

Martin, I have NOOO idea how that works... The Chinese grip, that is. It's insane - when I try it, often I'll strike the ball at a funny angle and it'll go flying off to the side.
