Ping That Pong

I met up with some friends to play ping pong/table tennis today.
Kind of interesting game ping pong is, mostly because it doesn't take me more than 2 steps to cover my side of the court and to hit the ball. So I would say this game has a high likeability factor, unlike soccer, where I need to take at least 200 steps plus a major heart attack just to kick the ball.

I sometimes wonder how people came up with this game. Did they see tennis game and decided to make it smaller? Well, at least that what I would do. Any game with court larger than two dining tables is too much for me. Chess would be my favorite sport ever, except for the fact that it involves other thing that I hate more than running: thinking.

So the smaller size game is better for me. But unfortunately the racket that is used for this game is extremely small. You see, the racket size is very important to me in every game. The minimum size of a racket for me needs to follow a simple rule: it must at least be able to cover my whole head when my opponent makes a smash.
So, as the size of the racket makes me impossible for me to hit the balls (that and my lack of movement), I found that I also suck at ping pong. I was tired more from chasing the ball across the room than from actually hitting the ball.

Guess I just stick with marathon.
Eating marathon that is.
